Breathe: The Stress Less Podcast

Feeling Overwhelmed? Why Taking Small Steps with God Beats All-Or-Nothing Thinking #150


Listen Later

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, even when you're trying your best to stay faithful and push through the stress? You're not alone. In this episode, Bonnie explores how we can overcome feelings of overwhelm by focusing on the small beginnings that God delights in. As we step into February, a month filled with love and new beginnings, Bonnie reminds us that it's never too late to experience God's peace and joy, no matter how small the steps may seem. Learn to let go of the "all-or-nothing" mindset and embrace the small, intentional actions that can rewire your brain and bring lasting peace to your life. Tune into this episode to discover how to reframe your thoughts, use the power of "but" to combat discouragement, and lean into God's grace as you take small steps toward new growth.

Key Takeaways:

Small steps matter: God rejoices when we take even the smallest steps toward our goals.
Overcoming all-or-nothing thinking: Learn how reframing your thoughts can help you stay motivated, even when progress feels slow.
The power of "but": Use this simple word to replace negative thoughts with God’s perspective.
- Science + Scripture: Understand how small, intentional steps not only improve emotional wellness but also align with God's calling in our lives.

Breathe Prayer:

Inhale: "Do not despise these small beginnings "
Exhale: "For the Lord rejoices to see the work begin"

Scripture:

"Do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." Zechariah 4:10
