In order to do what God has called me to do, I have to be refreshed and rested. If my spirit feels tired, I need to refresh. Did you hear me? If you are exhausted, especially spiritually, go rest! In this day in age, resting is almost taboo. We are expected to do something every moment of the day and think and do what everyone else is doing! It is overwhelming. So what do I do to replenish? Here are some practical mindset shifts, that will give you rest.
Say No
You don’t have to say yes to everything. No is a good thing. Don’t feel bad for saying no, if you can’t commit or your heart is not really in the right place to do something, just say no.
Do What You Are Called To Do ONLY
Don’t do stuff because others are doing it. Don’t create a youtube channel or make an eyelash line because it’s the hottest new thing that everyone is doing. Do things because you are led.
Take Time to Learn New Things
Take your time to learn new things and explore your talents and options. I feel like I am in a season where I need to learn new skills to build a strong business. In the words of Michael Todd, I need to fill my vessel with things I don’t know. So I’ll say the same thing to you, fill yourself up with new knowledge. For example, you are trying to make more money. You may not be making more because you have not taken the time research how. Things not happening is not always a closed door. So go out there and ask questions. Read a book or two. Find a podcast that is in the field you are looking to grow in and learn. God blesses what you prepare for.
Every Idea Doesen’t Have to Be Original
Not every idea you act on has to be made up by you. Don’t reinvent the wheel. You need inspiration from other things too and others have probably done what you are trying to do. Yes, the Holy Spirit can give you the insight to start something, but don’t feel pressured that everything you do, has to be
At the end of the day, all you can do is your best and God will do the rest. Don’t rack your brain trying to be like everyone else and do things the way they do them. Be obedient to what God is telling you. The great thing about following Jesus is even if it looks like you’re loosing, through him, you’ll always win!
