I try to do these three things EVERY day:
Read, something positive.
Listen to, something positive.
Watch, something positive.
If I can’t do all three, I do at least one.
This stores up needed faith, joy, hope, peace needed to sustain when life gets a bit hectic and rough.
Currently jamming to ‘Bulletproof ‘. AWESOME song. Get you a nice playlist together. Play some EVERY day, whether you feel like praising or not. Amazing how jamming on positive music can turn your whole day around.
Get some good Word in you. Psalm 31 was delish this morning. Even if you don’t yet know The Father, as your father, it’s a great Psalm to read/digest/ponder.
Watch an inspiring movie, clip, show, video. The heart/soul/spirit enjoys some positive viewing!
If you have been hanging in there, with me, you will need to get refilled. Getting refueled, as we speak.
Now that we have made it to Easter…whew…will be getting back to other things like standing, walking, dancing, and many other topics.
Be sure to get some rest in there somewhere. When you have done all you can for the day, leave the results to God and Life. Not really our business what happens after we have done our part.
Don’t judge yourself off the result or lack thereof. God and Life have the endgame in mind. You may never see the endgame. Does that really matter?
ALL that matters is you have done YOUR part to fix the relationship, deal with the work issue, life issue, family issue, circumstances, whatever.
Refresh, renew and keep it moving.
Moving with you,
Cassandra
