Stop being a slave to your appointment book. Pare down your schedule.
Work demands your best effort, people need your attention, and chores pile up like autumn leaves. You dream of a simpler life, but the complications of everyday living get in the way.
If you have been burning the candle at both ends, it's time to cut back on some of your activities. There are so many worthwhile activities; it's hard to say no, because you don't want to miss out on any good thing. Yet, if you become sick and unable to meet your obligations, you have no choice but to clear your schedule. So do it now before your body rebels.
Simplify life by paring down your schedule. Make having free time and getting rest a higher priority, and you will be rewarded with greater energy, clearer thinking, and a more relaxed attitude toward the ups and downs of life.
Occasionally you need to slow down and take time to smell the roses. Treating yourself to a pedicure seems to make the whole world a bit rosier.
Toss the superwoman cape, grab a tall glass of tea and relax with a good book.
You must have a "happy place" and visit it often....your sanity depends on it. My happy place is my quiet time with God. There's no better place to be!
Today is a day for being still, to stop striving, grasping and reaching for a solution. Every time you start to do that today, instead pray. Tell God that you are not going to be afraid....that you trust His deliverance is coming and that you know He is fighting on your behalf, so you don't have to.
Grace and peace,
Dalinda
