Wayne Connor from Dubbo Presbyterian offers his thoughts on these six points about keeping fresh as a pastor.
I think they’re pretty appropriate for any Christian, actually.
1. Find fresh spiritual disciplines.
2. Take regular time off. You aren’t called to work harder than your Creator.
3. Get proper exercise and sleep.
4. Relax. The relaxation response is the opposite of the fight/flight response.
5. Join a small support/prayer group.
6. Cognitive restructuring (i.e. changing one’s thinking).
7. Have fun!
