This just hits the nail on the spot.. Often when you are overloaded (and mine is not a job outside the home) more PILES on without notice. I can’t share mine but I can relate to this from trying to build a biz, fighting legal battles, and having emotional of the kids being added to the plate all at the same time. Somedays you just look around and say what next? Great article post, thanks for the reminder to reboot! Darla aka twitter:Alrady40

Ladies, what beautiful comments! Wow!

Mercy: Good for you for giving in and spending time with the Lord. What can be better?!

Lee: I would love to join you by the beach side pool one of these days! Sounds awesome! I am glad that you are taking the necessary rest that you need to heal.

Cheryl: I hope that your health is better. You are very right that our bodies can take only so much before breakdown occurs. I am glad that you have found something so healthy to really enjoy. I am sure your body and spirit sings a song of joy each time you swim! =)

Nkechinyere: That’s just it. We think that we don’t have time to rest because we have so much work to finish. But just as you have said, when we get tired and overworked we begin to work inefficiently. We can get more done in less time by taking the time to rest because we don’t make as many mistakes when we are rested. Thanks for making that point!

Joann: Good that you recognize what you need. If you haven’t already I encourage you to act on it.

Joycee: Awww … you have no idea how you have touched my heart!! Wow! It always blesses me so much when I see your notes and comments both here and on facebook. I appreciate your love and support!

[...] it’s okay to accept the fact that my mind and my body needed a rest. I owe a big thanks to Shileen Nixon for pointing out that yes, it really is okay to stop and reboot every once in [...]

I’d love to tell you about my stressful life,but there is not that much space in this little box. I can express my Thankfulness to you, Sweet Lady! I love reading your words of incouragement knowing that it comes from your heart! My daughter was first to bring me to my knees when my precious son was killed in an accident. She told me that God does NOT give you more than you can handle. And later, my dearest friend’s daughter [YOU], gave me the roadmap to a more precious life. Thank GOD for DAUGHTERS!

This is quite inspiring; I have never thought of it in this way, shutting down or even rebooting myself. Whenever the workload is much on me the next thing that comes to my mind is this: “hurry up you have got a lot to accomplish today”, so I keep working till I overworked myself without achieving maximum result owing to mistakes resulting from my anxiety to finish up my task within a even period. Sometimes it costs me more time and energy because I have to redo certain things.
Thanks to Shileen and all of you who commented on this note. I have learnt a great deal from you guys and I’m taking a new step right away.

Once again, thank you all and God bless you.

Thanks Shileen – this happened to me & I got really sick – if you don’t shut down yourself; potentially one day this could happen to you. So please take these words of wisdom written by shileen seriously B4 too late. There is only so much your body can take!!!
Happy to report that I swim a lot – this restores me & gives me the time to relax & rest & I love it!!!

I was forced to shut down just like the computer. I am recovering from a bad allergic reaction to medication and have been very quiet and restful for the last few days despite the bouts of itching and firey skin I am experiencing. I have a list of errands that need to be done but I am learning to let go and delegate my responsibilities. So here I sit on my laptop getting caught up on things that I can do from my bed.
Why do we as woman put so many demands on ourselves and feel like we need to do it all and not ask for help. I am learning that I can’t do it all. Sometimes God just stops me in my tracks and makes me rest regardless of what I would like to accomplish.
One of my favortie destressers now that I am in Hawaii is to go to the beachside pool with a good book and get lost in my story and enjoy the warmth of the beautiful sunshine.
