Think like a buyer!

Posted on May 27, 2025 by msw blog

Walk around your home, put aside your memories and try to think like a buyer. That’s when you’re in your most critical mindset. Write down everything you see, especially things that stand out to you, and be honest with yourself about what’s important.

Wisdom

Posted on May 26, 2025 by msw blog

Dear God, grant me the wisdom to slow down, the grace to cherish the ordinary moments, and the courage to live with purpose, love, and joy. Help me to see my worth not in my work, but in the love I give and receive. Amen.

Know that it’s not all-or-nothing

Posted on May 26, 2025 by msw blog

If you want to meditate every night before bed but end up doing it for only five nights, you can decide that this counts as a win. “It’s so you can forgive yourself when something inevitably does come up and go wrong, as opposed to treating that as a disaster,” says Milkman.

The Daily Examen

Posted on May 25, 2025 by msw blog

Follows a simple five-step format:

I. Become aware of God’s presence.
Review the events of the day, asking God to bring clarity to his presence.

II. Review the day with gratitude.
Walk through your day with God, focusing on the gifts, joys, and delights.

III. Pay attention to your emotions.
What feelings did you experience today; what is God saying through them? When today did you feel far from God? When did you feel close to God?

IV. Choose one feature from the day and pray from it.
Ask God to point you to something He finds important in your day, and pray from it.

V. Look toward tomorrow.
What feelings come up when you consider tomorrow? Seek God’s guidance.

By implementing spiritual discipline and a reflective practice like this, you can sift through the day’s events, lift up cumbersome or stressful things to God, and grow in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. When intentionally resetting after a day of active accumulation, we gain access to a meaningful finishing to our day.
