Default Refresh Yourself

Letting Go

Refresh yourself

There’s a “refresh” button you can click on the computer when you’re on-line. It makes the computer operate more efficiently.

Sometimes we get a little sluggish,too. We’ve been pushing too hard. Mulling the same thoughts over and over. Doing the same things over and over. Sometimes we need a change of scenery. Sometimes we need to refresh our thoughts with prayer, meditation, a few words from a friend, or spending some time with a good book.

Maybe it’s our bodies that need refreshing. We need a cold beverage, a brisk walk, a nap, or a hot shower.

Maybe we need a bigger refreshment, a weekend at a spa, a vacation. Even if our budget is low, we can pitch a tent in a park and take in the refreshing beauty of the world around us.

Look around. The world abounds with refreshments. The next time you get bogged down, stop pushing so hard. Do what you need to do to become efficient and operate with ease.

Refresh yourself.

God, help me understand the power of taking the time to refresh myself. Then help me stop thinking about it and actually do it.
Got this from a post in Facebook. I think it is from The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie.

Was attracted to the title. So often we get caught up in life, especially in that of our alcoholic/addict our job, our community and the world at large, and we need to refocus on ourselves and our own needs. God supplies them, but we have to be open to receive them. When we are focused elsewhere, we miss out and often don't see the blessing sent our way.
