Inspired Thought
I've been there...talking and no one really HEARS me. Everyone hears what they think I'm saying but they really don't hear me. "Just listen....I know what I want to say....Just listen."
At Inspired Thought I listen. I want to hear what you want to say. I want to help when I can and support when you need to be supported. I'll share my thoughts with you and when you are ready.....share your thoughts with me. Visit this site as often as you like with no requirements of you. I have one request however...could you leave me a note to let me know you have visited? I would appreciate it. No email address or phone number just a note "I visited the site" is fine.
My hope is that you will read something here that will uplift you and you'll be ... Inspired!
Thanks for visiting....----Pamela Burks

Whose Schedule are you on? We get so tied up in the “things” we need to do. Sometimes we forget that the “things” we do quite often are not as important as the things we don’t do. Know anyone who suffers from anxiety attacks? The feeling that you can’t breathe because the world is closing in on you? Those “attacks” are really warnings…warnings that we’ve forgotten to slow down and take a breather. There are 24 hours in a day, 8 hours you do some kind of work, 8 hours you sleep. That leaves 8 hours left to live your life. Granted 8 hours does not seem like a lot of time to live your life but remember you don’t have to do it all in a day. Some days are always going to be more hectic than others. It’s up to us to give importance to some time to stop and regroup. Schedule two 15 minute time period in your day to stop and quick relaxing “pick me up“. At least once a week schedule and hour for relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation. Prioritize your “To Do” list and determine what’s really important to you. To help with prioritization, use the Importance Paradigm, from Stephen R. Covey below. Then build “down time” into your schedule so that you move from the frantic lifestyle to a more peaceful one. Remember God created the heaven and the earth in 6 days and on the 7th He rested. We should too!

Sometimes the ‘squeaky wheel’ does not deserve the attention it gets just because it’s noisy. Remember to put your efforts into perspective and place emphasis in the appropriate place. If it’s not urgent and it’s not important it does not get attention first nor does it get all the attention at the expense of more important details.
