Find Joy and Rest in the Craziness of Life
We tend to think:
Stressed is normal.
I’ll rest when I’m retired.
I’ll never get off the hamster wheel.
And to that, I say: wrong! We can Find Rest and Find Joy, even in a busy life. Using science and scripture, I teach women how with practical strategies that bring lasting change. No matter the size of the event, there’s nothing more exhilarating as a speaker than to see lightbulbs clicking on in women’s brains across an entire room.
As an example, here is one tip I almost always share at women’s events. It will make a difference in your life today. Ready?
Stop venting.
Aurgh, I know! This is hard. And venting is so tempting to do! But here’s the deal with venting. It’s not helping us “process” in the healthy way we think. In fact, science shows that venting activates the anger system in our brains. Of course, there is a time and place to share difficult life situations with a mentor, counselor, or godly friend who will lead us toward support, care, and prayer.
But once we cross over into complaining or gossiping in the name of “venting,” this doesn’t help us. It hurts us.
The next stop on our tour is the first session of a recent weekend marriage event.
