32. Running a Million Miles an Hour? 10 Simple Tips to Help You Slow Down to Manage Stress, Be More Present with Your Family & Find more Balance

Hey sister,

Today I'm gonna share 10 tips to help you figure out how to slow down and rest. YES, even (and especially!) when you're way overbusy, overworked or overcommitted, and have a million things on your plate and calendar.

When there's never have enough time for all the things that need to get done.

I know above all this Christmas season, you desire to be fully present and enjoy the real peace and joy this season can bring. But that can feel almost IMPOSSIBLE and an elusive dream with all the directions December can pull us in, the stress & overwhelm that can come with all the events we have going on, the pressure to give our family the most magical, perfect Christmas experience, and the way our to-do-list tends to get even MORE overloaded (as if it wasn't already WAY too long to begin with as busy mamas!!).

So if you don't want to feel like you're running on survival or reaction mode, or just trying to keep up this holiday season and want to actually slow down to just BE with the Lord and the ones you love...

If you feel like you can never find time to rest and FULLY enjoy those precious moments that feel so fleeting, if you're ready to let go of the hustle to experience all He promises us, but aren't quite sure how to, given how full your load already is, pop those headphones in, grab your journal and your favorite coffee, tea, or holiday drink, and settle in for this heart to heart my friend.

***Have you downloaded my free guide, Overcome the Overwhelm? This will help you balance work, mom life, your marriage, faith, and all that's on your plate, while finding more time for what's most important (yes to more time to rest!!!) with less guilt + more peace. God has so many beautiful gifts in store for us, when we slow down enough to receive them. :)
