Episode #110 – Five Thoughtful Strategies to Reduce Busyness and Find Balance in Life with Sandy Cooper
Today I’m jumping back into my conversation with the wise and lovely Sandy Cooper from the Balanced Momcast, and she’s got some life-changing insights for us on understanding busyness—why we tend to become overly busy and what we can do to find balance.
Some of my favorite quotes:
“There are zero times in the Bible where we see someone comparing themselves to someone else, and it turns out really well. Zero times. In fact, I will venture to say that every single time a blatant example of comparison is shared in Scripture, it ends in murder or attempted murder..”
“Look at what God is calling you to do, what who you want to be, and then establish some routines that will enable you to get there.”
“What does loving God and loving everyone in my life look like right now?”
“A people pleaser will say yes to things that they have no business saying yes to because they’re afraid to say no. They don’t like what it feels like to disappoint people. They are addicted to approval.”
Head over to Sandy Cooper’s website and take her busyness Quiz entitled, “What’s Your Busyness Personality?” – it’s free and quite insightful!
And be sure to grab her amazing book, Find Your Balance. [1]
