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 :)
