“There are two types of tired: one that requires rest, and the other that requires peace.” – Unknown

I’ve been doing a lot of organizing of my stuff which has me feeling physically tired at the end of each day. That’s a kind of tired that a bath, a good meal, and a good night’s sleep takes care of.

The other kind of tired, feeling emotionally tired or wrung out really needs all of the above self-care, plus a heaping helping of peace and quiet.

When I find I’m feeling emotionally stressed out I do my best to get out into nature to take a nice long walk. I find feeling the breeze on my face, smelling the forest smells (or at least a few trees), feeling my feet on the ground, is so restorative.

While walking I’ll take the time to pray as well.

I used to pour my heart out, beseeching God to help me with my problems, asking for strength, wondering WHEN things were going to get better.

After I had changed my prayer methods to thanking God, Jesus, and my Angels for all their help and blessings, I felt so much better! I felt relieved and felt I had more of a “knowing” that I’d get the help I needed because I was focusing on being thankful for all the things I saw going well or working out!

The lesson I learned was by switching my focus to the positive, I was able to see the positive! When I was praying in great detail for help with the negative, my focus was so strongly on the negative that I had difficulty seeing where things were starting to shift!

I find my recuperation time emotionally is much faster now that I’ve changed my whole approach to not only looking for the positive, but praying thankfully.

Here’s another blogger who has chosen to use the same meme as I did, and who has some different thoughts: Fulaneey Pero
