FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS:

 -Crystal's practical 4 Steps:

*Pray

*Prioritize

*Plan 

*Prep

- "I try to never use the word ‘busy’ because I feel like it has a negative connotation of ‘I’m a victim of my life’"

-If my kids see me upset, they think its because of them and I never want that to happen. I want them to see me living and joyful and happy life, loving the job of being their mom. Burn-out is not good for us or our kids!

REMEMBER:

-I cannot do all of this in my own strength or I’m going to feel stressed and exhausted. I am not enough but HE is enough. I need Jesus each and every moment of each and every day.

-If we feel like our worth comes from our work, we are constantly not going to be measuring up.

But if our worth is coming from Jesus…we don’t have to do more, be more or try harder to attain His love. 

-Simplify the areas of your life where you can simplify: examples like choice fatigue in clothes and food.
