We are in a time of year where things are cooling off and many transitions happen. As we transition to the next level it will often seem like things slow down and during these transitions it's important to settle into new habits... Beautiful habits.
A beautiful habit is one that God prompts and helps to install in your life and it creates a virtuous cycle of good. In all of my books I tell of how our bodies are a form of a liquid crystal, think LCD display on your TV or phone screen. These LCD's have the amazing ability to adapt and create order. Our bodies and lives are like crystals and according to a book my daughter found at a book fair a few years ago every crystal has a unique set of habits.
As crystals are heated and cooled back down they settle into habits that are crystallized. The more slowly the crystals cool the more beautiful their habits become. Therefore cooling slowly and taking our time leads to more beautiful habits in our lives.
In today's communion we are asking God to help us break old habits and settle into new beautiful habits. Our part in this is to follow God's leading on which habits to start, make the commitment to get started TODAY, and take a very slow gentle approach. God gives grace to the humble and taking a slow gentle approach ensures that the habit will be something that is crystallized for the long term.
I am praying for you.
Daniel
