In the last day or so, I have acknowledged that a large portion of my day has been spent worrying about others. I am also seeing and feeling the difference this awareness has made. It seems my life has been focused on other people, leaving very little time to take care of the needs of myself and my children. They're the ones who really need me. The others are old enough to look after themselves.
Nice share, Tracey x This is what I discovered about me too; that while I had all my focus on others my own life became unmanageable. I have to tend to my needs & responsibilities or I backslide. When I admit my powerlessness over others it frees me up in precious time & energy to do what I need to do. I find I can therefore help others more effectively when my own house is in order. I believe this is more akin to God's will for me as this gives me greater peace of mind & satisfaction. It's my happy medium. I also notice that when I'm minding my own business people need me less than I imagine... Fancy that! More freedom to do what I need to do. I find that if I concentrate & stay focused like this (not easy for me!) I can be there for others in a way that's right for me, I have a healthy balance. Thank you for your share. It helped me remember & reflect on this. Love to you & your children. lilmzx
I am slowly and gradually choosing to tend to my own needs. It is a help to read other people learning to focus on themselves. Thanks for sharing Tracey
