DAILY PRACTICES

Daily Practices for a Rule of Life

1. Morning prayers before 6am.

2. Meaningful conversation with someone by asking good questions.

3. Good meal where I sat down and savored the food.

4. Walk a mile with Amos (our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel).

5. Focused my attention for 2 hours on “deep work” to not put out fires at work all day.

I have found great benefit in creating a “habit tracker” for these 5 Daily Practices. They are listed in my journal along with the days of the week to create a simple chart where I mark an “X” to visually track my daily practice. Weeks I live into these rhythms regularly are noticeably different than weeks I live “out of sync”.

RESURRECTION MEALS

For most of us, the machine has replaced the meal as the dominant feature and metaphor of daily living.
