Week 391

Positive post Sunday, August 25, 2024…. Week 391.  Remember to recharge your Inner Batteries.  In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel drained and worn out. Just like our electronic devices, we too need to recharge our batteries to keep going. When we’re feeling down, it’s a sign that our inner energy reserves are running low, and it’s time to take a step back and replenish ourselves.

Imagine yourself as a smartphone. Throughout the day, you use up energy to perform various tasks—work, social interactions, and even thinking. By the end of the day, your battery level might be critically low. Just as you wouldn’t let your phone die without recharging it (God forbid😊), you shouldn’t let yourself run on empty either.

Recharging can take many forms. For some of us, it might be a quiet moment of prayer or meditation or reconnecting with our faith and finding solace in spirituality. For others, it could be spending time in nature, soaking in the beauty of God’s creation. Engaging in hobbies, reading a good book, going on a SHORT walk or bike ride or simply resting can also help restore our energy.  For me, writing my PPS each week recharges my spiritual battery and prepares me for the week ahead.

It’s important to recognize that needing to recharge is not a sign of weakness. Even Jesus took time to retreat and pray, finding strength and renewal in His connection with the Father. In the same way, we must acknowledge our need for rest and rejuvenation.

When we take the time to recharge, we can return to our daily lives with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. We become more resilient, better equipped to handle challenges, and more compassionate towards ourselves and others.

So, the next time you feel your battery running low, remember to pause and recharge. Your well-being is worth it, and your renewed energy will allow you to share your light brightly with those around you, especially with your loved ones.

What do you do to recharge when you’re feeling down?  What size batteries do you need (see the attachment)?
