00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 Putting others first is selfless,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05 but when we fail to care for self,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 we set ourselves up to crash and burn.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 Tune in for more.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock full of faithful inspiration and motivation.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 In the episodes, I know you are, but what am I?

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53 And top tip to recharging your spiritual batteries.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 I discussed that I'm an ambivert,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 having traits of both introverts and extroverts.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 I've also mentioned a number of mental,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05 mood,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 and temperament shifts that come with aging.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 So too has age amplified,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13 no pun intended,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 the need for more quiet,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 hence the episode on noise-filtering earbuds recently.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26 And maybe it's because of my lifelong tendency to run pell-mell

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 at 120 miles per

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 hour,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 also discussed in a recent episode.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:37 But I have found myself being very protective lately of my

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 evenings and weekends.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45 As I've noted in a number of episodes on filters and boundaries,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49 I'm trying to break the habit of responding to everyone

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 immediately in my panic

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 that I will forget something.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 When I actually follow that intention,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03 I am better able to compartmentalize and focus on me time.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:09 I am using scheduled sends more in email so as not to give the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 appearance that I am

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 working during non-working hours.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20 I need to be firmer in my intentionality to prioritize self,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 no just popping in to check emails,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24 texts,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25 and social media.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30 I need to give myself permission to have an off button.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33 When I deviate,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39 it has to be for a true emergency and ignore the thinking about

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 it right now,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44 so would you mind doing XYZ requests that are not time sensitive.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50 I'm also putting together other time and project management

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51 tools in place,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53 like Trello.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58 Asana is also good to keep me on task with teammates.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 Setting up systems and refining them takes time.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 But I am worth it.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07 So are you.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:14 God in his wisdom modeled downtime in his creation week by

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 setting aside time for rest.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19 He knows what we need.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 Our meme today echoes this.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 Rest to be at your best.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:35 We all want to give our best, and a well-rested person can do that.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40 What's the hardest part for you in prioritizing self?

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 Comment below so that we may brainstorm.
