Hey!
Did you know that being busy is destroying health, relationships, and connection to faith? Have you noticed how the busier you are, the more stress you have? Being pathologically busy is actually a threat to your well being!
I recently read a book my friend suggested from John Comer called The ruthless elimination of Hurry and if you have not read this, you should! This is such a great book! He says hurry is not of the devil, but hurry IS the devil, so slowing down can help you live a fulfilling life. The Bible says walk with Jesus, not sprint with Jesus!
New technology has made us busier because it is a huge sinkhole.
Trying to be everything and be everywhere is making you exhausted and I want you to commit the limited time you have to focus on the the things that are most important to you instead. Time is not the problem, it is how we use the time that is causing us stress and anxiety.
Here are some suggestions from the book:
- Live as Jesus did. Be in the moment and engage in life. He was always fully present. Hurry and stress had no time in Jesus’s schedule. Prioritize what really matters.
- Create time for silence and solitude daily-we need to lead emotionally healthy lives to reduce anxiety, exhastion, living in reactive mode.
- Take a day off to rest and worship-notice the world around you and stop rushing through the week because you have no time to value what you have.
- Consume less and share more. Stop buying things you don’t really need. Think of how many hours you had to work for each item you buy. Buying more goods not only cost money, but distract you from the time you have to live your life. Eliminating hurry means weaning cravings for the unnecessary items.You do not need money to enjoy life - prioritize your values instead of chasing the next thing to purchase.
- Slow down your life and make it less efficient. That means possibly going to a dumb phone to slow down communications.
Living intentionally and paying attention to what can give you lots of time and peace of mind.
I pray you are able to simplify your life to enjoy slow living. Live more intentionally to reduce stress and anxiety and enjoy your life once again.
xoxo,
Monica
