5 Fun and Easy Ways to Get Out of a Rut

personal development Feb 25, 2020

I don't know about you, but there are times when I feel less than fine. Low, grouchy, fed-up, and bored are the words I use to describe what I am like on those days, and I am almost certainly not the greatest company. The thing is, times like those are part of being human – it is not an elective. There will always be off days, and that is all right.

 

But what happens after you get a whole string of those off-days, maybe lasting weeks, months, or even years?

Too many women say that they are in a rut, feel stuck, fed-up, or bored and admit that they do not want things to be that way. But we do not know what to do to change. That is the problem. When you are in a rut, you do not have the strength or motivation to shift things for the better. And it is hard to find the insight or resources you must to do that jump.

 

Here are things to do right now to climb, or better yet, leap, out of the rut:

 

  1. Do things differently

Life has a tendency to run smoothly after we...

God Does What Is The Best For You

spirituality Feb 23, 2020

God can do all things. No purpose of God fails. There are times when this is a complicated truth to acknowledge. In particular, when you are praying for what seems to be in line with His will.

 

You are not advancing the request like putting a coin in a vending machine. You realize that God has the free choice to say “no”. You recognize this truth.

 

But you are praying for what you know based on Scripture to be His will. Perhaps you are asking God to restore your marriage or to deliver your spouse from alcoholism. Maybe you are begging Him to heal your child from a horrible disease.

 

The God that we serve does not speak without then acting. If God reveals that He will do something, He surely will. However, years or even decades may pass with God repeatedly saying no to your request. There are countless reasons why He denies us something we truly want.

 

From time to time, it is to grow your faith, such as with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 KJV tells us...

Affirmation: I Develop More Patience with Myself and Others Daily

affirmations Feb 22, 2020

My tolerance for myself and others grows each day as I release unrealistic expectations, and develop patience.

 

I am accepting and forgiving of myself. I continue to have more patience daily by simply living in the present and letting go of the impossible. My acceptance and leniency of others have increased as well by releasing expectations I place on them.

 

If I create impossible expectations for myself or others, I set us all up for failure. Having extreme expectations is my mind's effort to control the uncontrollable. By releasing the need to control, I can let go of my expectations and be myself.

 

I focus, instead, on facing what develops in my life from a fresh viewpoint. I am ready for all life brings my way without setting limitations. Concentrating on appreciating the journey permits me to be more understanding and accepting and, therefore, more loving and thoughtful. In this way, I can enhance my love for myself and others.

 

Today I concentrate...

Turn The Tables on Negative People

Negative people are burdened with various lusts and issues that they are either not dealing with or are using to influence and control their relationship with you.

 

They might cause stress, scandals, struggles, or conflicts. You may experience repeated violations of your boundaries, such as manipulation, verbal abuse, or physical, emotional, or spiritual harm. Spending time with them can leave you feeling drained and fatigued.

 

You probably know more than your fair share of negative people! Since they are everywhere, it is important to understand how to live with them.

 

Dealing with troublesome individuals who disrupt our lives is covered in many Scriptures.

 

In 1 Corinthians 15:33, the Apostle Paul urges us, “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.’”

 

In Proverbs 22:24-25, we are warned, “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get...

Marketing is the meat and potatoes of sales. It is the springboard for sales conversations and engaging your audience. Building a tribe that wants to buy from you is a beautiful thing, but there are times when having an eager tribe can be a bit overwhelming.

Every woman faces disappointments in life, both big and small.

 

It is essential to accept our disappointments and not just ignore them, but how do we do it effectively? The answer rests in discovering constructive ways to accept disappointments.

 

* If you let it, disappointment can build character and patience. Learning to deal with disappointments constructively can make you a stronger woman in the end.

 

Coping with Disappointment

 

One of the first things to do when dealing with disappointment is to identify old coping strategies. Everyone has them. Do you reach for that pint of rocky road ice cream? Do you withdraw into a room all by yourself? Do you get drunk trying to forget the disappointment?

 

Once you recognize that your old strategy is not working, it is time to create a new one.

 

Five tips for effectively dealing with your disappointments:

 

  1. Acknowledge what you are feeling. You can honestly express the emotions you are feeling....

Stay Healthy Through Improved Diet and Exercise

 

One of the most important things you can do to avoid getting sick – and not just from cold and flu, but anything else out there that is contagious – is keep your body as strong and healthy as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to eat a healthy diet and get some sort of daily exercise.

 

Here is what that may look like.

 

Tips for Eating Healthy

 
Improving your diet to eat healthier can seem like a challenge. There is a lot you can do. The key is to start and make small improvements as you go along. A great place to start is by cutting out sugar and processed foods. Replace them with whole food options where you can. Have an apple instead of a candy bar when you need a snack. Fix some scrambled eggs instead of pouring a bowl of sugary cereal in the morning. Skip the fast-food burger and fix a salad to take to lunch. You get the idea.

 

From there, I would encourage you to add more fresh...

What Happens When Praying Is The Challenge?

spirituality Feb 16, 2020

Praying daily helps you grow in your prayer life because you prioritize God every day. You are giving Him praise and seeking Him when you pray daily.

 

Prayer is vital to the Christian life. It is how we reach out to speak to our Lord and Creator. We express praise and thanks to Him, ask for forgiveness, pray for personal needs and the needs of others. But often, this is a disregarded activity. Be honest, are you praying daily?

 

“Pray without ceasing.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:17

 

The subject of daily prayer is good food for thought. A discussion is a beautiful thing to have with God. But what happens on the days when your heart feels too heavy to pray? Life has, once again, knocked you down. And, it feels as though you may just never get up again. How do you pray on these days?

 

Jesus prayed all the time. Before His crucifixion and while hanging on the cross, He prayed. He did not just pray during the good times or only in hard times....
