LET THE Sunshine IN!!!

BY DEBRAYTA SALLEY

Hey Movers and Shakers, Chain and Cycle Breakers!

I’m sure that you’ve already noticed this, but “time is not standing still” for anything or anyone! It’s moving right along and the clock is tick/tocking and rotating at its usual pace along with the sun.

The first quarter of the year has come to a swift close and here we are again -- springing forth, moving forward, and getting more “daylight-hours” in each day to get more done. I pray that your life, business and ministries are growing, thriving and making Jesus famous along your travels.

I just wanted to remind you to take an intentional pause break and selah daily for self-care, the key word being “intentional.” I mean so much so, that you put it in ink (not pencil) on your calendars.

Truth is that for a lot of us who are passionate and creative about various things, our minds are always spinning with new ideas, fresh content, etc., etc. All of this is a gift and blessing, but never forget to take a pause to rest, replenish, restore, refill everything that you pour out.

It doesn’t always have to be a yacht cruise on the Mediterranean. I’m talking about doing (or not doing) things that are simple, but effective:

1. Take a 20–30-minute break to drink your favorite beverage in your favorite cup, mug or tumbler.

2. Take a short walk around your community, a local attraction or body of water and get fresh air in your lungs.

3. Open up all your blinds and let the sunshine into your home while relaxing on your sofa, floor, balcony, hammock, etc.

4. Put on a cute, but comfortable outfit and grab a bite to eat with someone you’ve been too “busy” to connect with.

5. Get a haircut or protective style that will last for a while and free up your schedule to do more of the list above.

Let’s continue to make moves, change mindsets, be used to heal souls, but also live to be more like the sun. Even the sun sets at a particular time of the day to recoup the power it has beamed out upon the earth. It takes intentional time to pause and get prepared for another opportunity to show back up the next day as its BRIGHT, WARM, and CHEERFUL self; lighting our paths again and again. Let the Sunshine IN!!
