Hustling only to Rest

New year, new goals! If you’re like most of us, January has you feeling driven, motivated, and ready to crush it. Whether you’re gunning for a promotion, launching a project, or leveling up in your personal life, ambition is a big part of the energy right now. But here’s the truth: if you want to thrive in 2025, you need balance. Yes, you can go after your goals with everything you’ve got—but you can’t forget to rest.

Hustle and Rest: The Power Combo

We live in a world that’s obsessed with hustle, and while ambition is awesome, burning out isn’t. In fact, it’s the balance between ambition and rest that actually fuels long-term success and well-being.

God Himself modeled this for us in Genesis 2:2 when He rested on the seventh day. We’re called to work hard, but also to rest deeply. Finding that rhythm is where true growth happens. So let’s start making rest just as important as the grind.

Balance Is Key to a Sustainable 2025

Ambition without rest is a recipe for burnout. If you want to thrive this year, it’s all about finding the balance between working hard and resting well. Let’s make 2025 the year of pursuing goals with purpose and taking care of our bodies, minds, and souls along the way.

You’ve got this—now go and make it a year of balance and breakthrough!

Ask Yourself:

  • How can I intentionally rest this week without feeling guilty?

  • What boundaries do I need to set to protect my mental and physical health?

  • How can I be more mindful of my spiritual practices amidst my busy schedule?

How to Find That Sweet Spot:

  1. Set Boundaries
    Guard your time by saying "no" when needed, and prioritize self-care.

  2. Prioritize Sabbath
    Take one day a week to step away from work and recharge your mind, body, and spirit.

  3. Create a Balanced Schedule
    Plan your week with dedicated time for work, rest, spiritual practices, and reflection:

    1. Work Blocks: Focused time for goals

    2. Rest Blocks: Breaks, naps, or walks

    3. Spiritual Blocks: Prayer, Bible study, or meditation
