73. Overcome Burnout and Get Your Joy Back (with John Eldredge)

<p>Feeling burdened, weary, tired, or heavy-hearted today? Try the One-Minute Pause! Here’s how it works:</p> <ul> <li>Set a timer for 60 seconds.</li> <li>Take a few deep breaths.</li> <li>Then, verbally release the weight of what you are carrying. “I release my stress or worry over my job to You, God.” “I release my fear over my child’s future to You, God.” “I let it go.” Literally let yourself breathe out your fear, stress, worry, tension and breathe in God’s care and carrying of You.</li> </ul> <p>This simple practice isn’t going to solve all of your problems, but it can certainly help you feel a little calmer and remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.</p> <p>God sees you. He cares about you. And He is big enough to carry your heaviest burdens. You are not alone.</p> <p>Need more encouragement to stop feeling burned out and get your joy back?
