Relax, that’s easier said than done. I’m a mom I have three kids, a job, oh yeah and I have a dog as well. About a dog, did you say you were interested? Okay, sure I promise to relax, just after I clean the house, mop the floor, wash and dry the laundry, fold and put it in their drawers and cook a nice decent “healthy” dinner and then help my kids with their homework. No kidding, I’m committed to relax.
Ever felt overwhelmed? Maybe you wished for just a few more hours in the day. To find that special time for you to relax, maybe even just to read a book?
What you need to understand is that if you don’t, you won’t be any good to anybody else. In fact your kid’s, your husband, your work, they all need you to relax because when you do, You think clearer, your more confident of yourself and you get things done more efficiently. And you feel great about yourself.
In the bible there were times were Jesus had to break away from the crowds and seek the mind of His father.
Jesus said to the disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (Mark 6:31)
Hey superwoman, Jesus knew that taking a break was essential to balance the responsibilities that drain you. If Jesus acknowledged He needed rest, how much more do we need to make “me” time.
Let the laundry sit one more day, create a 15 minute break when everyone knows it’s “me” time. Create this daily and be consistent. You can relax, but it is up to you to make the time.
