Why do we do either? Usually, it’s fear or pride. When we overdo, we burn ourselves out. We need to balance what we do when God can do it much better. We often exhaust ourselves and then we’re no good to anyone. We are mind, body and spirit, all wrapped up as a soul. Overdoing it physically can affect the mind and the spirit. Our pity parties can wreck the thoughts we have and our bodies with stress. Giving in to the wrong thoughts about ourselves, the world or others weakens our spirit and our bodies. They are always destructive. Let’s make this year the year of our turn-around!
