This week I felt the energy drain from my body. My motivation was gone. By Tuesday my muscles clamped up. My mouth became overwhelmed with ulcers (my body’s sign that I am over stressed). Wednesday morning I woke up after getting 9 1/2 hours of sleep still feeling exhausted. Got up and made my son pancakes like I do everyday, dropped him off at the daycare, then called in sick. Got home and slept over 4 more hours still wanting more.
Somethings wrong.
During my next quiet time, currently working through “The Mind of Christ”, I was asked what I do with my negative emotions.
What negative emotions? The ones where I do everyone else’s job except my own? The one where everyone calls me for their free computer tech support? The one where people call the church, get the secretary and specifically ask for me so that they can get a phone number and when I ask why didn’t they just ask the secretary and they say,”I thought she was busy”?!?
My response to the question is “bottle it all up inside”. And wallah. The reason for burn out. Although I wouldn’t call it anger but a lot of resentment. So now the question is, how do you guys deal with resentment?
