73. Overcome Burnout and Get Your Joy Back (with John Eldredge)

Published: March 3, 2020, 11:29 a.m.

Feeling burdened, weary, tired, or heavy-hearted today? Try the One-Minute Pause! Here\u2019s how it works:

  • Set a timer for 60 seconds.
  • Take a few deep breaths.
  • Then, verbally release the weight of what you are carrying. \u201cI release my stress or worry over my job to You, God.\u201d \u201cI release my fear over my child\u2019s future to You, God.\u201d \u201cI let it go.\u201d Literally let yourself breathe out your fear, stress, worry, tension and breathe in God\u2019s care and carrying of You.

This simple practice isn\u2019t going to solve all of your problems, but it can certainly help you feel a little calmer and remind you that you don\u2019t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.

God sees you. He cares about you. And He is big enough to carry your heaviest burdens. You are not alone.
