In the morning as I start my day, I write two lists. The first list is all the "next steps" I am aware that I could take in reaching my goals and taking care of my responsibilities in my work and personal life. The second list is a list for "My Project Manager" a.k.a. for God. It is a list of all the issues, concerns and items that I feel are currently out of my control. By putting them on paper I am consciously surrendering the worry and declaring to myself that I will be guided and directed in the resolution of each item on this list.
Sometimes I take a third step and write out a prayer. This is a helpful way for me to express what is in my heart, how I feel about the successes and the challenges in my life and then, it allows me to release the burdens I am feeling.
I've been learning once again that spending time fretting over what is out of my hands only makes me feel sick inside. When I relax and trust that every seeming issue finds a way to a good resolution, I feel better and keep more of my precious energy.
I wish you a happy, productive and peaceful week ahead.
Give the lists a try and let me know what you think!
With love,
