DETOXIFY YOUR LIFE!

for all us busy minsitry wives, read on!

How do you often feel at the close of each day? Worn out? Frustrated? Feeling like nothing has really been accomplished throughout that day, like 24 hours is often never really enough?!
Think again, if we needed more than 24 hours, then GOD would surely have given us more than that!!!!

So, what do we do? We should UNclutter our lives! Here is the simple answer to that.

E V A L U A T E.

There are so many things in our lives and daily schedules that shouldn't be there! Let's categorize these things and focus on the topmosts on our list.

1. The MUST DO's. These are without question things that NEED to be done and are categorized in the same group as......BREATHING, EATING, SLEEPING. Get it?!
Attending to the basic needs of your spouse and kids is on this list. Time with God is on this list. Showing love and support to people you care about is on this list.
Things on this list are things that if left undone will ruin the day's outcome.

2. The SHOULD DO's. Items on this list come next. Finishing a house chore, a church project, running errands for self and loved ones are on this list.

3. The COULD DO's. Items on this list are the last to worry and fuss over. Watching your favorite program, playing your favorite game, buying that luxury item,etc belong to this list. THings on this list that are left undone MUST NEVER be such a BIG thing to frustrate or grieve over.

The problem with most people is that they get depressed or frustrated when the COULD DO's are not done.Why is it like that? We feel so very very bad for missing that favorite show, or not being able to buy that nice dress but we don't hurt a bit when we fail to spend bonding time with our spouse and kids.

Let's RE-evaluate our lives and let things that really matter MATTER from now on!
