Sustained stress acts like horse blinders, diminishing our abiity to see ourselves and others well. Like 20/20 vision, humility helps us see close up and far away. To do this well, we need time for reflection. Here’s the thing about ‘routine rest’: when we slow down from a breakneck speed, we often become aware of negative feelings we didn’t allow to surface at such a fast pace. Enter sabbath sadness.

“Shame attached to calling can make us feel like we’re failing when we’re not able to do what we feel called to do. But if we remember it’s not about perfection, not about perfecting our calling, rather it’s about improvement, growth, and sometimes starting over, we are making use of humility’s social oil. ‘Practice makes progress.’ Humility embraces this truth, freeing us from fearing our weaknesses or focusing too much on our strengths.”
