Do you ever wake up in the morning filled with anxiety instead of being refreshed because you know you have so much running to do that day?
Have you ever dreaded getting out of bed knowing your day is going to be filled with more of the same running here and running there until you are exhausted?
Do you find that you have over committed yourself into doing so many things that you don’t know if you’re coming or going?
Does you’re day just fly by and you can’t even recall all the things that you did but you know you didn’t enjoy any of it?
Do you find yourself wondering how many people’s feelings you might of hurt along the way because of the things you said when you were in such a hurry?
Or wonder if the people you impact each day like your family are enjoying their lives by the way you are treating them?
Maybe you need to slow down and start thinking about the things you have committed yourself to and start prioritizing. Decide what things are important to you and what things you can do without, to make your life less stressful.
Remember it is you’re choice to make.
Try to set boundaries with people. If you don’t set boundaries then you have no one to blame but yourself when people take advantage of you. You will find that your schedule will become so overloaded with running here and there and the stress so unbearable that you may start getting sick or taking out your stress on others.
You will be unhappy with yourself and others will be unhappy with you as well.
Learn to say NO when people ask you to do something you don't want to do and not feel guilty about it. A good question to ask oneself is how can anyone enjoy life if they are running through it so fast they haven’t time to care about anyone else but themselves? Another question to ask is if we are not treating others with love, is that the way we would like to be treated?
Try to wake up in the morning and think, what shall I do to help someone today?
What good can I bring into someone else’s life? In blessing someone you will be blessed and you will find that anxiety, dread and fear, will leave you and it will be replaced with feelings of love, peace, joy and happiness. You can be an instrument of Peace to help make this world a better place to live in.
You can help spread Faith, Hope, Love, and Joy by the way you act toward others.
However you can’t do it if you’re “Running Nowhere”at that brake-fast speed.
When you slow down you will see that it is in giving to others that we receive.
Jesus came to give us Salvation and Hope, so we may all enjoy our lives.
He also gave us a new commandment to Love one another as he has loved us.
