You may feel like your
efforts and faith are not
bearing fruit. Working
every day to maintain your
life can feel like you're on
a treadmill:
going to work - taking care
of your family - paperwork -
long commutes to work -
paying bills - dodging
sickness and bill collectors
- cooking and cleaning --
coping with family drama -
healing heartaches -
running here, running there
- putting out fires of
emergencies - phone calls -
to-do list - interviews - committees,
classes and church -
meetings and medicine!!!!
OK - you may be experiencing
a mini meltdown. You may
have a "24
hour virus called exhaustion
and disappointment".
How do you overcome your
mini meltdown?
Take off your superwo(man)
cape. Take some tasks
off your plate. You
re-evaluate your
priorities and delegate.
You stop and regroup. You
rest and pray. You take a
break before you have a
breakdown. You fast and
meditate. You laugh or cry
and shake it off. You
re-commit to your goals and
purpose. You strengthen
your coping skills. You
take some time to pamper
yourself. Check
your blood pressure. You call a good
friend. You work on your
dreams and passion. You
help someone in need.
You go for a walk. Plan a
vacation. Enjoy nature.
You increase your faith.
You place your foot on the
enemy's neck. You encourage
yourself. You speak life
over yourself. You
dismantle the camp and tent
called "disconTENTment. You
stand up in God's grace.
You count your blessings.
You focus on what you can do
now with what you have now.
You don't give up. You take
a deep breath and start
again stronger, wiser,
focused, optimistic and
encouraged.
Train your brain for
success.
Don't be tired, get
inspired.
Get equipped so you can't be
whipped by stress.
Ready
--- set --- GROW !
Jewel,
May God
Bless you
IMMENSELY.
Today I was
feeling
exactly as
you
described
and I asked
the Lord to
please speak
to me and
tell me why
I am feeling
this way and
what to do
about and
behold his
response
came through
you.
Dead on
correct.
Now I and
motivated to
go on again.
Continue to
be a source
of
inspiration
Jewel you
have been
that for me
many times.
You are
doing a
great job
and I hope
one day I
will find
meaning for
my life too
and start
living it.
Love Always,
Joan E.
