Time To Refresh Right Now!

Time to Refresh Right Now!

Hi everyone! My name is George Safaipour. After several challenges with the website and events outside of my control, now’s the time to get the path of Strivulence blazing forward again! This winter so far was an interesting one. Recently, it happened to rain quite intensely followed by a dumping of snow this February in the Clarksville area. Clarksville did flood in low-lying areas, especially at the Clarksville Greenway where the paths got muddy after the flood waters receded. It was quite an experience to see and live through, even though I took it relatively easy. I felt that after those floods and snow, it was time to simply refresh!

Have you ever thought of refreshing yourself as well? If so, that’s a great thing for you to do! After the murky events in your life have washed away, that’s a great time to refresh yourself for the path ahead. It can be quick, or it can take a while. The important thing here is that refreshing yourself sets you for great outcomes. For example, imagine if a person is single, and that person decides to wash and vacuum the car before a date even arrives. That dirty car can be one thing that was setting that person back the whole time without even knowing it. After a while, that person gets a date! Not only that, that date compliments the young person’s efforts for cleaning the car with care! That can be a good reason to refresh yourself. Not only with the date example, refreshing yourself in any life scenario can help you to achieve the results you are asking for.

How to do that effectively? Here’s a few general steps to ensure that you are refreshing yourself best:

1. Allow all circumstances to quiet down.

2. Ask what is that you need to refresh.

3. Take action to refresh yourself effectively.

There are definitely more steps you need to follow based on your individual scenario, but this is only a brief guideline to lead you in the right direction.

​For the first step, all of those circumstances that you can and cannot control must quiet down first. That may require you to finish important tasks at work, to allow the weather to calm down, etc. That’s critical because if there are any interfering circumstances, there’s no way refreshing yourself can be effective. When in doubt, go ahead and complete and finish what is within your control and allow God to take care of the rest.

​For the second step, that’s a good idea to ask what is it exactly that you need to refresh. You may only need to refresh a few things in your life and not interfere with the rest. In that way, you have a clear focus on what you need to refresh and work on that. Plus, you are using your time effectively when it comes to recovery and refreshing yourself later.

​For the third step, that can involve yourself blocking out time for recovery and refreshing or scheduling a specific time to do just that. Not only that, you take the right actions to ensure your refreshing and recovery go smoothly. That’s important that you need to do something beneficial and constructive for yourself. On the other hand, taking the wrong actions while refreshing yourself can prove disastrous. Plus, bad habits are not allowed while refreshing and recovery.  That’s why it’s a good idea to know exactly what to do while refreshing if you need to do so. That may involve looking up some articles online or researching what methods ensure your recovery and refreshing at an optimum. Everyone has a different style of recovery and refreshing, and it’s up to you to find your best type of refreshing and recovery if you have not already done so. It’s up to you to figure it out! When you do recover and refresh the right way, you are doing the right things for yourself!

On the contrary, to not refresh yourself properly is like saying you are ready for a full day of work even though you are 10% awake. In that case, it is best to rest. Recover yourself in a way that helps yourself and your body so that you are fully charged the next time you venture out into the world. Find a time that suits yourself the best for rest and cut out all other activities. That ensures your recovery is solely for recovery and nothing else. In that way, you will be refreshed the next time that you are fully recovered.

Refreshing yourself sounds simple to say, but it can be a bit more involved when it’s done in real life. There may be events or circumstances that you need to finish and complete before recovery can truly be effective. If these events or circumstancesare out of your control, allow God to take care of it. Plus, it’s good to ask yourself what to exactly refresh and recover so that you are not wasting time on anything else. Once you’ve decided what to exactly refresh and recover, act on your recovery and refreshing in the right ways. You will be glad that you did! If you decide to not recover or refresh, it may be the time that you need to do so! Once you realize this, you will feel that radiance of Strivulence!
