Summer is a great time to get outside and explore new things. With the increased days of sunlight, you are able to step outside and introduce yourself to something new everyday.
“"Give unto the LORD the glory due unto HIS name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”
Psalm 29:2 KJV
Sometimes we get bogged down with the day-to-day task of working at 9 to 5, being a mom and a wife. We don’t have time to enjoy simple hobbies or have a moment of rest during the week. However, this summer offered an opportunity to vacation and relax with, yourself and family.
It is important to take time to reflect on the things you found enjoyment with, and what brought you the most joy. Did you pick up a new habit of cooking, new, recipes, painting, or putting puzzles together? Did you get involved in more volunteer activities and learn more about your community? Or did you visit your local farmers market weekly? Reflecting on the things that bring you enjoyment.

Avoid pushing yourself to the back burner.
Pair your daily affirmations with scriptures of the Bible.
Make the Time for Yourself
Take out a notebook or journal and physically write down what you enjoyed doing this summer. Try to focus on areas where you complete a task alone first. Then move on to listing activities that included other people. After you have written this list, decide how you will be able to incorporate these activities of enjoyment throughout the remainder of the year.
Finding time to have fun and enjoy yourself is essential to living a happy and fulfilled life. It can be hard at times to focus on yourself because you have a feeling that you are being selfish or you will miss doing some other essential task. However, I can guarantee you that taking time to get yourself a manicure and pedicure, will not stop a load of laundry from being done. In addition, the more you take care of yourself, you will be in a better position to care for your family and spouse.

Maintain Your Self-Care
Making yourself a low priority in your life is not a badge of honor. Consistently placing the needs of others over your own can be detrimental. Neglecting yourself can eventually lead to some major physical and emotional health issues. Maintaining your health care, hair care & beauty care, and doing things you enjoy is what’s best for you and those around you.
Taking care of yourself and practicing, self-care consistently, will improve your overall mental health. Welcome Holy Spirit, into the things that bring your enjoyment. Ask HIM to lead and guide you in how to schedule and finance the activities and bring you joy on a consistent basis. GOD wants us to live a fulfilled life and HE sent HIS son JESUS CHRIST. So that we may have life and have it more abundantly. This abundance is greater than financial. It also includes abundance in peace of mind, physical health, mental health, and overall emotional well-being.
You deserve to live a happy, healthy, & healed life full of enjoyment!
