Life Hits You – Use Armor

How do you start your day?

Do you find when you start your day energized it creates a momentum that continues throughout the day and when you start emotionally exhausted you barely have energy to make through the day?  How you begin the day determines the course of your day therefore it’s important to kickstart it in an empowering way.

Put on your daily armor.  A knight wouldn’t head into battle without protection, why do you head into your day without proper defense?

I’m not a morning person; I don’t have the time; or the kids are up early are a few of the excuses used for not properly preparing for the day ahead.  Imagine the time and effort it took to put on the heavy armor pictured above but they did it because their options were suit-up or most certain death. Clearly the discomfort and inconvenience of putting on the armor was less painful than a lance penetrating their unprotected body.

Most of us don’t face potential physical harm each day so it’s easy to overlook the need for protective armor.  However the cost of doing so is the potential death of your spirit, the chipping away at your passion and high price of low energy.  Knowing you could safeguarded them by committing 30-minutes each day to putting on your daily armor, wouldn’t you?

Here are some simple daily armor practices:
