I posted a few days ago about my "freakazoid" schedule and how I'd planned something so far in advance that I forgot about it and couldn't remember what I'd planned. Quite a disconcerting feeling, but I got through the day.
This morning, I shook things up a bit. I had my coffee and watched the sunrise before I got dressed. My husband said, "How radical." He was joking but it was kind of nice to rearrange things. Inspiration can come in those unplanned moments.
I was just about to ask him what color he thought that cloud formation was, and then it changed before he could see it. Reminded me of how quickly life is going by. I've decided it's good to shake things up a bit.
Do you do anything special for inspiration sake?
Even people who love their jobs have a hard time with Mondays. Sometimes we just do too much on our days off. Monday slaps us in the face-we are not ready because we haven't had any down time. This is what I've tried lately in order to chillax on my day off.
1. Make a list of your normal 'day off' chores. Divide them up between the work days. Instead of doing all my laundry on my day off, I do part on Tuesday morning, and part on Thursday morning. It keeps us going. It's worth getting up a little earlier in order to have the free time on my day off.
2. Make Monday morning as easy as possible. Gather every thing you need to get out of the house in one place, decide what you (and the children) will wear the night before. Fix lunches, etc. ahead of time. Stress free mornings set the stage for a much more pleasant day.
3. Block off a part of your day off as 'unscheduled'. Yes, schedule to be unscheduled. Do whatever you want during that time, or do nothing.
4. Renew your spirit in worship and fellowship. Don't hit your work week with an empty vessel. Fuel your spirit with the love of Christ and you will overflow on your family and others.
5. Be grateful you have a job. So many don't in these hard times. Smile! "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thess. 5:18
What can you add to these suggestions to have a great start to the week?
