Laugh Loudly...

For those of you that have never visited my blog.. Welcome! :) I have started reading the book "The Power of a Positive Mom" by Karol Ladd, and am posting about my reading and how her tips to become a more positive mom effect my life. So if you are wanting to have a weekly devotional or if you are just needing a bout of inspiration, a laugh, and maybe even sometimes a good cry please read. This is definately a 'mommy' blog. I will also post recipes, mom tips that I come across and other things! Please post any comments or questions you have! This is a page for mom's to give their thoughts, advice, and hopefully gain insight, and not just from me!

Thought this was good!

Since school has started up again we are all probably feeling extra busy, here are some good tips if your feeling overwhelmed or discouraged!

From the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver:
"5 Strategies for Fighting Discouragement"

1. "Allow for Rest Stops" - Allow some time for yourself to get some extra rest.
2. "Get a New Point of View" - Try to look at the situation differently! It might not really be as bad as it seems, or there could be worse circumstances.
3. "Have Patience" - I think this one pretty much explains itself :).
4. "Mingle" - Go out with friends! Whether its just a lunch date or a day of shopping. It will give you time away from the busyness and keep you from thinking about what else is going on. Or you can use friend time to vent :)
5. "Set the Timer" - Sometimes we can  all use a "good cry". So do as the author suggests and set your timer! Give yourself 5 or 10 minutes to let it all out and then pull yourself together, cast your cares to God, fix your makeup and go on!
