Eight years ago I read that Bob Goff quits something every Thursday. It was the permission I didn’t know I needed to let go of some things.
.
I was a young mom surrounded my just older moms who seemed to be doing it all and thriving. I was barely keeping my head above water. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong.
.
The suggestion to quit something lifted the burden of trying to do it all and be it all. God would continue to whisper to me over the years to keep letting go.
The less I keep trying to keep up. The less I try to build. The fuller my life has become.
.
Instead of keeping up with the Jones’ I am learning how to live life with intention. Whether it’s quitting to purposefully adding something in.
.
Each Thursday (starting next week) I want to encourage you to take ten minutes to be inTENtional (see what I did there?! ☺️). Anything from taking a walk to sending flowers to a friend. Beauty is found when we shift our focus away from mindlessly following to intentionally living.
