HAPPY almost 2020! We're looking to a new year, a new decade--and it's a great time for a fresh start. What if we all started off with less stress, more joy, greater purpose, and a lower chance of burnout?
In this special episode, I'm sharing a free chapter from my book Breaking Busy! I'll share my personal story of how busy almost broke me...until I got (a literal) wakeup call....from my bra.
We'll take inventory, learn to recognize the red flags of busy, and get a game plan to go from a frazzled to full life.
I'm also giving away chapter one from Breaking Busy free today.
Quotes from this episode-
1. Contrary to what many of us have been told, we all have limits. We can't handle it all, nor should we. We have to stop pretending we are superhuman with an endless supply of energy, because we aren't. Embracing our limits and respecting our personal capacity is the key to success and living out our calling.
2. Not taking care of ourselves works in the short run but it always spells disaster for everyone around us eventually. Taking care of ourselves means we’re willing to care for ourselves so we will be able to live out the calling on our lives. Self care is never selfish. You can’t live the life that God created for you if you’re running on fumes.
3. Having a limited physical capacity is not a flaw in my character, it is by glorious design for an incredible purpose to realize my need for him.
4. When God created us, he created us with limitless capacity to love others and a limitless ability to stretch our talents to be used for his glory.
5. We each have a different capacity level. Our levels increase and decrease, depending on our season and our situation. Identifying and respecting our own capacity is life changing and it's the first step to breaking busy.
