fact of the month : i reached office early for the first time in the past one month or so!! yup, you read that right
just to get some facts right - i do NOT go to sleep PLANNING to be late the next day. i do have sufficient sleep. it’s just that my body just seems like it doesn’t want to get up in the morning. yes, i know that sounds lame, but that’s the truth. i think the reason why this was happening was due to the work situation i was in. but even more so, i think my body was reacting to what is going on in my mind with regards to the circumstances i was in. discontentment and negative thoughts were aplenty.
so, being able to clock in early today meant a lot! have my circumstances changed? no. but by God’s grace, my mind has been ‘renewed’. somehow, God just enabled me to shift my focus back onto Him, and away from ‘things of the world’. this shift of focus has also changed my attitude at work. over the past few weeks i had been poorly motivated and just tired. i really thank God for lifting me up.
such can be the influence of the mind over the body. for better, or for worse.
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
- Romans 12:2
