250 | Good Habits Shouldn’t Exhaust You: The Power of Wisdom & Environment; Rhythm-Habits Part 4

from Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief · host Dr. Ioana Popa | Psychiatrist Educator, Executive Coach, Speaker & Spiritual Care Formation

Most likely, you are deeply familiar with doing hard things. At work, at home, in your church. And you are probably rewarded to push through exhaustion, complexity, and responsibility more times than you can count. That perseverance has served you well in leadership and service. But when it comes to daily renewal habits - prayer, rest, Scripture, or simply stopping work at a humane hour - grit alone begins to fail. It can work for a while, and then it backfires as you become increasingly tired. What once felt noble now feels draining. And this is how your body quietly learns that spiritual practices or renewal practices equal strain, not refuge, which then can signal chronic stress. In this episode, you will hear about:☀️ How God works through ease and reward, not pressure. And Yes, rewarding yourself is ok!☀️ The reality behind fatigue and what it really means.☀️ How psychology and Scripture agree about the purpose of good habits.☀️ How our beliefs of these practices plus our physical space can impact our success of renewal in action. The issue isn’t lack of devotion. It’s the cost of carrying good habits without support. Listen now for more.
