52 Small Changes – One Year to a Happier You
Committing to Change
As I embark on this journey of making 52 small changes to become a happier me, I am reminded of the biblical principle of transformation. In Romans 12:2, it says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This devotional is an opportunity for me to renew my mind and make small changes that align with God’s word.
- I will start by committing to make one small change each week for the next year.
- I will seek guidance and strength from the Lord as I make these changes.
- I will trust that each small change is a step towards becoming the person God created me to be.
Gratitude and Contentment
It is important to remember the biblical principle of gratitude and contentment. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, it says, “Give thanks in all circumstances.” As I make small changes to become happier, I will cultivate a spirit of gratitude and contentment, finding joy in the everyday blessings that God has provided.
- I will start each day by thanking God for the blessings in my life.
- I will focus on being content with what I have, rather than always longing for more.
Self-Care and Rest
Scripture teaches us the importance of self-care and rest. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” As I make small changes to improve my happiness, I will prioritize self-care and rest, understanding that caring for myself allows me to better serve others.
- I will schedule regular time for rest and relaxation.
- I will seek opportunities to care for my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
