Hit the Pause Button: Why Rest is Vital for the Rushing Woman (Preventing burnout, refueling, Sabbath, living at the pace of Jesus)
Welcome to Episode #40 of the Simple Steps for the Whole You podcast! Today, we are bringing you the 5th episode of our series on “The Impact of Being a Rushing Woman”.
Sometimes the best thing the Rushing Woman can do is HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON! Not just slow down, but actually cease, desist, or Shabbat. In other words, rest.
Michelle has been growing in and practice Sabbath for about 20 years and delights in teaching others about God’s heart for us in gifting us Sabbath. Lisa is growing more and more curious about the Sabbath and what goodness has in store for her in that special design for rest.
As you get more curious about the Sabbath, we encourage you to try these 2 Simple Steps:
Identify your resistance. What’s getting in the way?
Not realizing your need
Not truly grasping God’s sovereignty, and relying on your own strength
Overwhelming to-do list or financial need to work
Slowing down or stopping is scary; thoughts and emotions surface that you may not be ready for
Don’t want to be legalistic
Busy with self-promotion, your own interests, pursuits, and consumptions
You are not sure how you spend your time during Sabbath
Make a plan. Look at your calendar and schedule a time for 2 hours at two different chunks of time with about 7 days apart. Notice what comes up for you. Are you more present to those around you? Do you experience uncomfortable feelings or resistance? Do you feel joy? Relief?
Michelle and Lisa reference a few favorite resources on Sabbath and rest today including: Rest of God by Mark Buchanan, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, and Sacred Rhythms by Ruth Haley Barton (the latter can be found under our favorite resource link below).
