Stress

I've done pretty well so far this year in dialing down my stress level at work. However, I'm noticing that my stress level is starting to creep back up, and I want to do something about that. The beginning of the year is notoriously slower than normal because departments are working on goals and budgets. But now, people are starting to come out of their cocoons and want help NOW and as soon as possible.

I need to figure out how to defer some projects and reduce the expectations I put on myself. There are so many good projects I can work on now, but 3 at once is probably too much. : ) Please pray for me as I try to nip this in the bud. I was really proud of my efforts at stress reduction for the first 6 weeks of the year. I just need to figure out a way to get back to there.

My verse for today and this week:

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
