If one is piloting a plane, one needs to keep a fairly constant watch on both external and internal indices -- such as weather conditions (external) and fuel level (internal). I have done that continually in ministry: the priorities and tasks of ministry (external) versus my own energy level and moods (internal).
OBSERVATION: As the years have gone by, I have done this more and more instinctively -- although I didn't do it early in ministry, and ran into trouble.
