Do any of these sound like you?
You feel stuck in one or more areas of your life, but can't figure out how to move forward.
Others have said you’re too hard on yourself, or that your expectations are too high.
You worry about disappointing others and hate feeling like you've let someone down.
You strive to do your best, and can beat yourself up when you're not able to show up the way you want.
You struggle to prioritize yourself, even though you know it's important.
No matter how hard you try to juggle all the things, you often feel like you’re dropping the ball.
You think if you worked harder and stopped making excuses, you could finally pull yourself together.
You can't help but wonder if God's a little disappointed in you for all of the above.
You're not alone. And there's nothing wrong with you.
Stop the hustle.
Make space to notice.
Change the narrative.
In the midst of full lives, it can be hard to pay attention to our internal worlds—the voices we're listening to, the stories we're believing, or where God might be in the middle of it all. But in the words of Curt Thompson, MD,
“We become what we pay attention to.”
Making space to turn our attention toward the One who is paying gentle attention to us will change everything.
