Creating A Rhythm of Good Habits in your life

1Ch 27:1 This is the number of the people of Israel, the heads of fathers' houses, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all matters concerning the divisions that came and went, month after month throughout the year, each division numbering 24,000:

After this verse follows a setting out of each clan and when they were to serve. Each served one month of the year, every year, the same month, every year.

I’m beginning to realize more and more that rhythm is natural. We breathe rhythmically. The sun rises and falls. Yes, there are interruptions to these rhythms, but things return to their rhythm as quickly as possible. It is this rhythm that I want to start establishing in my life.

One of the powerful things about motivation and this rhythm, is that the things that have become part of this rhythm require little motivation. They just happen. I don’t have to motivate myself to breathe, or to give the next step when I’m walking. The rhythm creates enough expectation of the next movement or activity, that it automatically happens.

The challenge for me now, is to really identify the most important things first – and build those into my rhythm.
