Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with everything going on in your life? You have to go to school, or work, or church, or a meeting, plus do homework, take care of kids, and sleep, etc. Okay, no one person probably does all of these things, but you can pick and choose the ones that you try to balance every day. All of it gets to be too much sometimes. Let’s face it we all have those days where we feel like we can't take the stress. Well, let me just say that it is okay to just take a step back from all the craziness in your life and just breathe.

I know that most of us nowadays feel like we have to accomplish everything to really feel like we did something right. We have to get involved in a lot and go to all the events. Have you ever considered what you feel are the most important things in your life? When you think about those things, it seems crazy to waste time and energy on the other things in your life that are just weighing you down and overwhelming you.

Newsflash: you don’t have to do everything to be involved or to be doing something right. It is okay to cut down on the activities you do. It is okay to miss out sometimes because you need rest or have something else that you need to do. I could be wrong, but I don’t think that anyone is going to be upset with you if you have to take a step back and you can’t make it to something. Everyone needs the time to relax and rest because you are more likely to be at your best if you take the time to rejuvenate yourself. In my opinion, it is better to miss out on something than to stress yourself out to the point that it could be serious.

Therefore, it is okay to just take a step back from life and just breathe.
