Margin and Keeping It All Together

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

How do you keep it all together as a mom? Margin is key but not many of us make time and space into our to-do lists for the unexpected. We don’t write in the toddler’s tantrums or the sibling squabbles so we get frustrated when they happen. Margin allows you the space you need to deal with these inevitable interruptions in life as a mom with grace and intention. Building margin into your day will change your life as a mom.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • What are the interruptions in your days that you can make space for? What are the things that keep reoccurring that leave you frustrated?
  • Being in control is a myth
  • Margin is creating mental space and time space for you to not be in control
  • Margin also allows space for creativity, renewal, refreshing and fun
  • Psalms 46:10
  • Psalms 27:33
  • 1 Peter 5:7

QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

  1. What would margin look like in your daily life?
  2. Is there anything you would have to remove from your daily life to give you more margin?
  3. Take a deep breath and stop listening to the lies of failure when mothering is hard.
  4. Where does the guilt of unplanned or restful time come from for you?
