A Rule of Life is not a strict set of rules but a gentle guide or rhythm that supports abiding with God. The truth is, we ALL have a Rule of Life, whether we have named it or not. But if we intentionally put practices and structures in place in our everyday routines and rhythms, it can become like a trellis for a vine—structure that makes space for growth.\nIn this episode, we talk about noticing moments of rush, reframing ordinary activities as spiritual practices, and how sometimes it’s not adding things but removing them to create space. We’ll share some practical ideas and examples to get started in building your own Rule of Life as you make space for slowing in your own life.\nCLICK HERE for your free resource on ideas and tools for engaging with Slowing!\n\n00:00 Welcome to the Podcast\n00:34 Why Slowing Matters\n01:18 What Is a Rule of Life\n02:13 Trellis and Vine Visual\n05:44 You Already Have Rhythms\n06:51 The Productivity Lie\n09:55 Everyday Noticing Practices\n13:02 Map Your Typical Day\n14:26 Lent and Habit Stacking\n17:12 How to Start Simply\n19:58 Noticing Changes Everything\n23:01 Resources and Closing\nLIFE MAPPING TOOLS\nGain clarity at life’s transitions and know yourself and God better through our visual life maps.
