Quick Tip: What You Can Do When You’re Completely Overwhelmed
Apr 28, 2022
Have you ever gotten to the point where you are completely overwhelmed, exhausted, and can barely keep your eyes open? I had that experience today and I really just wanted to curl up beneath my desk and just stay there; lay on the floor and just stay there.
It was already a really long, exhausting, spiritual growth week, and I'd had enough. Do you know the "Mine moment" on Finding Nemo? Every aspect of my life felt like that. Kelly? Kelly? Kelly? Kelly? No matter what I was doing or why anyone was talking to me, that’s how it felt and I was just completely done.
I truly felt like if that phone rang one more time or if someone asked me one more question, I was going to lose it. It felt like I was at my breaking point and I really felt it defeated. I talked with Anna, my Spiritual Mom, and in talking with her I remembered a few things she previously shared with me...
Praise and worship is like a garment that we wear, staying in His presence will energize you, and so will resting. All of those things are restorative. I tapped into that and just had a time of praise, worship, and rest for about 45 minutes to an hour. I just got in bed in my PJs, took some time, and just simply rested.
What a difference that time made. We have to give ourselves that time!
