Devotional

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:34

Today in Western Australia we have a public holiday.

When I was going through my illness these days would be difficult and I would fear anytime that I had to spend by myself.

The illness would get louder and the negative thoughts stronger. Not a good thing.

I don’t know about you but I used to not like days off, I didn’t know what to do. I would feel really anxious and restless, like it was not right to just have a day to yourself.

A day to do what you longed to do?

How selfish to have a day were you could do the things that you loved to do.

I found it really difficult to just switch of from my work, from my thoughts that had consumed me and controlled me.

How things have changed for me how things have changed for the better.

Let me encourage you that you can enjoy your days.

You can enjoy those days off and embrace the day.

You can do things that you love without feeling guilty.

Now I love time that I just get to spend and be creative.

I love those days were I just don’t have to leave the house and rush to the next thing to do.

I embrace these days with both hands.

I know that I need to have these days, I really do.

This is all about creating healthy boundaries for yourself.

What is one thing that you can do today to give back to yourself?

Start where you are at, maybe it’s 15 minutes for you?

Start there and be encouraged.

I am cheering you on.
