149. Feeling like you are doing too much but yet not enough? 2 ways to set yourself up for success in your day!
Have you ever felt like you have SO much on your plate but yet you don’t feel like you are actually accomplishing anything? Feeling like you are running in circles yet not quite finishing any tasks? You are not alone! I know for ME there are two contributing factors when I’m feeling this way. So i’m going to share those and a few ways to manage them :) So let’s do this!
2 things here that I struggle with when it comes to feeling like I’m doing ALOT but not really at the same time is…-
Not managing my time well
Not finding contentment in just being who I am in Jesus!
I know managing your time can seem overwhelming in itself, cause we like to stay busy and find our worth in our busyness and purpose in our efforts. And as you know my heart is to help you know that you can only find your TRUE worth in Jesus. Nothing we do or say can change who we are in Him. So when we stop the striving and just relax in His presence, allowing HIm to move and letting Him lead the way, we can release the stress of doing ‘enough’ throughout the day.
Thinking on the things of God and not on our todo list. Focusing on His ways and not our own…this will bring us peace and true fulfilment throughout our day!
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.”
~ Philippians 4:8, NIV
Ways to manage these things:
Get routines down. So whether you want to start with a morning routine or a night one or maybe an afternoon one, start a routine. Get yourself used to doing 3-5 things in those time frames.
Be content- I know I mentioned this last week when talking about discouragement but here we are again. We have to be content with WHO WE ARE in Jesus. We are feeling liek we aren’t enough and we aren’t doing enough because we aren’t putting our trust in Jesus and believing that He isn’t forcing to do lists on us.
So much of His teaching is calling us to rest. - Matthew 11:28-Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
To be connected to Him- John 15:15- I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
To come close. James 4:8-Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Remember who you are in Him. Allowing Him to lead your day and trust that He is here to help you and walk the day out with you! This will help you feel more accomplished and purposed today!!
