How to take an effective Mental Health Day
“Your mind is a terrible thing to waste”.
We have heard this statement so many times. But, do we really understand its implication. God has invested too much in you, for you to live beneath your privilege. God has created you with purpose and value. When you fully understand your value and your assignment, you will create an atmosphere to preserve your value.
An effective Mental Health Day will put you in the space to rest and get instruction from the one who gave you value. You must create a space where you can guard your heart in a safe space. A safe space must be free from clutter and distractions. A safe space must allow you to rest your mind, body and your spirit. But, even more importantly, the safe space must be in the presence of God, the one who created you. You must be willing to sit in a space where you can receive the rejuvenation and instruction, that only God can give.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
God knows how to preserve your mind in the midst of stress and uncertain conditions. If you rest in the presence of Jehovah you will soar above stress and fear. The perfect love of God will dispel fear and hatred. Love God, Love yourself, and Love people. Allow your entire being to rest in God’s Love.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3
Staying your thoughts on God, the Great I Am, will bring amazing comfort and peace. Just knowing that God has everything that you need, in His person, will stay your entire being. As you allow yourself to meditate on God and His word, you will find immense clarity and revelation. The answers will come with instruction and authority. You have now begun to trust in the Lord and not just leaning to your limited understanding. I heard a quote that has been a personal mantra and inspiration for my life in times of uncertainty.
Pray about everything; Worry about nothing. ~ Author Unknown
If you have prayed about it, God has already provided the answer in its entirety. Worrying about it will not make it happen any faster. Trusting God to give the answer with its mode of transportation, will allow you to live a powerful life of divine productivity. As you trust in God’s ability and sovereignty, you will rest yourself into God’s divine answer and increase. Stress has been linked to many diseases. Allowing your entire being to rest in God’s entirety, will thrust you to a place of rest, power and productivity. Whatever constitutes your rest, can only be defined by your obedience to God’s directive and instruction. Is God leading you to a particular musical sound, book, digital media, place, person, prayer time, and even a strategy for success. When you get to that place of rest in God, everything will open up to you. The world is now your oyster. You have now arrived to your place of power.
