\n\nAn extremely relatable analogy was shared with me this week, and I think you can relate as well. How do you respond when life gets hard? What spills out of your heart and mouth? I received this in perfect timing, as I was feeling that deep mom exhaustion. I was frustrated with most of what got in my way. I realized after reading the analogy, that I was not filling my cup with the best choices. I was off track, and I needed to get back on immediately.

Let us stop seeing exhaustion, skipping lunch, no breaks, never getting outside, working late hours, working weekends, etc as status symbols.
\n\nIt is time you stand up and know that you are worth taking care of yourself and your family.
\n\nLet’s not let this continue with the next generation.
\n\nMake rest, exercise, and time in nature the new status symbol.
\n\n**Takeaway: **You are worth it, so take time to take care of yourself and your health.

The world will constantly rush you, pressure you, and pull you from God and calm in your life and day. You have to choose to step away from the crazy and create some space in your day. This will help bring you closer to God, bring calm in your heart, and add peace to your day. We will always have challenges and hard days, but when we have God, we can still be calm in our heart and know that we will be ok.
\n\nTakeaway: Regardless of what is going on in your life, you can have calm in your heart.
\n\nChallenge: Be intentional this week about creating space in your day so that you can have more peace in your heart.

\n\nSuzi is the green blogger behind the blog Gurl Gone Green. She's a wife and mom to three girls and one boy. After eating healthy for several years, she realized eating real food was only a small part of the healthy living equation. As a hairstylist and esthetician, she became aware of all the harmful chemicals she was constantly being exposed to. She went on a journey to transform her conventional products over to clean products. This led her to start sharing with others what she had learned. Fast forward 10 years later, and her mission to help others live out a clean lifestyle has only grown!
\n\nHere are some great resources and freebies that Suzi shared with us during the interview:

First, be sure you are taking care of yourself so that you are rested, strong, and equipped to handle these situations. When your kids act out, stop taking it so personal. They are kids, and they have a lot of stress on them. Stay calm, honest, and gently work to connect with them, instead of battle with them. It isn’t easy, but we can choose different approaches to encourage, guide, and connect with them.

When I began my journey of saying no to things that were not filling my tank with good, I began to weigh every choice with God, my values, and where my energy was needed. This helped so much in saying no to things that were not good for me and my values. Because my decisions were grounded in God, I didn’t feel as guilty, or even that I needed to explain.

The happier we are with ourselves, the less judgement we will feel.
\n\nAsk yourself if you are looking through the eyes of love or judgement. You can change your perspective.
\n\nWe will be intentional this week to avoid gossip and judgement. Post somewhere, or add a reminder to your phone with the quote, “I choose to see this differently. I choose to see love,” from Gabrielle Bernstein.

This is how I went from not liking social media, to learning how to set boundaries, enjoy, be inspired, and create lasting connections through social media. I created my own discipline, and learned how to change my feed for the better, and wasting less time on endless scrolling. There is so much good, but there can also be a downside for some of us. Let us all become more aware of how it makes us feel, and make a change if needed. It should be making us feel good, and helping us. You are not alone if it isn’t making you feel good. Join me to re-evaluate your relationship with social media. Our challenge this week is to take a break from social media.
\n\nWe won’t be distracted by comparison, if we are captivated by purpose. ~ Bob Goff
