Rather than first asking ourselves whether or not our treasure is in
God, maybe we should first look at what we do with our evenings, how we
spend our weekends, etc. Yes, falling in love with God will affect
everything, but how we spend our time on a daily basis also reveals what
we are in love with and where our treasure is. One of the great
gifts of Ignatian Spirituality is its invitation and challenge to us to
examine our day in order to seek God and to ask ourselves whether or
not we are recognizing and responding to the work of the Holy Spirit in
the lived experience of our daily lives.

I know nothing about "Ignatian spirituality" but I felt challenged by this reflection. I suspect that I am spending too much time on things that add or have little to no inherent value, and not enough on things that encourage or promote healthy living and values. But what, and how much? I'd like to see the specifics from my own empirical evidence.
What are you in love with? Where is your treasure?
