And you need-to-breathe.
Ever felt that way?
Last weekend I did. I felt like I finally hit the point to where I said, "Enough feeling overwhelmed."
God did not create, in mothers, a spirit of anxiety, or a spirit of feeling overwhelmed. We are intended to nurture, grow, cultivate, educate, and mentor ALL day long! Whether that is from your phone at work, or at home. You make it what you need to.
Ran across the "Hands Free Mama" today and heard her speak a bit on air. She talked about the same things. Her breaking point that led her to discover the hands free approach and her advice to moms caught in the rut. What do you do when you feel so completely overwhelmed. Her answer was that if you feel that way, then you start small. And you start with your alone time. Alone time needs to be based off your family and your needs Some people would be in the morning before anyone wakes up. Others in the afternoon after dropping off kids to school. And maybe even at night when the house is lulled and everyone is asleep.
Unplug from technology, grab a book or your Bible and have alone time.
Alone time to dwell, reflect, and prepare.
So this week, I am going to post one post per day of a way to not feel overwhelmed. Not because I've got it all figured out because I DON'T. But because we are here to encourage each other to simply live. Live with purpose and desire. And if we aren't doing that, then something needs to change.
Proverbs 12:25 "Anxiety in a mans heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad."
Lets make each other glad today. Share this post or post your own stress-relieving HANDS-FREE approach!
Blessings,
Kay
