4 Habits that Prevent Burnout

Prevent Burnout

 

Are you tired?  Are there some days when you’d like to disappear, rather than get out of bed to deal with your to-do list?   I must confess that I almost burned out on ministry.  I lost my passion and joy.  For a long time, I thought I had it all together.  I was juggling many responsibilities and doing it with flair.  But, one day those tasks started to get heavy – the weight of all that I was carrying became too much, but I still struggled to let go.  Everything seemed too important to surrender over to someone else, so I trudged on burdened down by own self-imposed expectations for ministry.

Looking back now, I see where I failed to make healthy choices about how I would use my time, talents, and treasure.  I invested in Kingdom business, but I did not invest in myself.  I forgot that I am important to the kingdom as well.  I am God’s holy temple, and I am called to be a steward of my physical, social, mental, and spiritual well-being.

If I could sit down with 20 year old me, I would tell her that there are essential habits that will prevent ministry burn out.

I am so honored to be sharing over at Rebekah Hughes blog as part of her weekly Titus 2 Tips Series.
