REGULATE YOUR LIFESTYLE

Take a look up at the sky this evening. You’ll see a stunningly elaborate series of stars and planets moving like clockwork across the night sky. The universe is so ordered and organized that when a comet zooms past Earth, astronomers can tell us the exact time it will return to our planet, even if that time is centuries in the future!

As we are part of this great universe, I believe it’s natural for us to live an ordered, organized life too. I’m not suggesting that we not be spontaneous and free in our lives, only that we need to support that freedom with strong daily systems of order and regularity.

When you live an ordered life your energy increases considerably. When you get up at around the same time daily and go to sleep at a similar time each evening your mind and body get into a rhythm. When you discipline yourself to exercise at the same time each day your body enjoys the regularity. When you do particular tasks or relax at around the same time each evening your body appreciates such organization.
