One of the hardest things to do is 'take a break'without feeling guilty and selfish;or worse,feeling like a failure because everything on your 'to do'list didn't get done. Here's a news flash;there will always be more to do!One of your biggest challenges will be learning the difference between setting high standards for yourself and setting unrealistic,impossible onces.
We claw our way to success then discover we don't like the presures that go with it.So what should we do? Learn to walk away!Jesus did.'The Jesus did. 'The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done...Then,becuase so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat,he said to them,'come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.'So thgey went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place'(Mark 6:30-32 NIV). Jesus understand that if you don't take a break,you'll break! So: (a) make a lisst of the things that only you can do,then delegate the rest or let them go;(b)learn to take small steps and celebrate small accomplishments for that's what life is made of;(c)don't allow the stuff that's undone,to undo you.(d) strive for balance;don't become addicted to what you enjoy;(e)don't allow overachievers to put you into overdrive.You're in for the long haul.You win when you pace yourself;(f)take time for the people who matter,otherwise you'll lose them.Busyness is a destroyer of relationships.All the sucess in the world won't compensate for the joy and treasure of your family and your loved ones!
