Just say NO

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately.  I say yes to too much.  I take on too much.  I have a hard time saying NO!  (My best friend will be the FIRST person to tell you this).  Mostly because I feel that I am superwoman and I can do it all.  Well I got sick this week.  And I am learning for like the millionth time that I cannot do it all.  

Resting is a difficult thing for me.  When I take time off, I want to be doing something!  When I force myself to rest sometimes I become lazy and then start to feel extremely guilty.  

I think I need a personal assistant...anyone interested?  

Another thing that comes to mind...recently I have become SO busy that I started to feel a disconnect spiritually.  Not that I was doing anything wrong, but that I wasn't doing all the little things to keep myself spiritually connected.  After a nice conversation with a co-worker I realized that I REALLY need to make these little things a priority and everything else will fall into place.  She is right.  I always feel better when I am praying everyday and reading my scriptures everyday.  Lately those things have sort of taken a backseat and I definitely see a difference.  

It is time to change.  Again. 

But isn't that what life is about?  Constantly self-evaluating to see what needs to change?  

I think so.  I think it is totally healthy and normal. 

Now pray with me so that I can get to feeling better :)
