Sometimes we push ourselves to be Super Women, and on occasion it may be necessary to complete a project or get through a tough week. There's nothing wrong with taking pride in being able to get things done. But come on ladies, if we find ourselves wearing the BIG S on our chest as an accessory every day, somethings got to give. Being overly stressed, pushed to the brink on-the-regular can have a long lasting negative impact on our well being. It can cause our health to suffer, I think we can even operate in this mode for so long that it becomes a normal way of life for us, and that can't be good. We can even get to a place where we are spinning our wheels, and accomplishing very little.
We have to give ourselves permission to have down time, relax and rejuvenate. Not only will our bodies thank us in return, actually, I find that I am more productive when I allow myself time to unwind. Getting things done doesn't have to be running a-mile-a-minute, in may be more of a balancing act. Give yourself a time-out.
... He rested on the seventh day from all the work that He had done. Genesis 2:2
