Summary

It's time for a throwback! I'm on vacation this week but I would like to share with you again one of my most popular episodes from last year. This week we are talking about some ways we waste our time — and it’s not Netflix! Here are some things you might be doing that are robbing you of joy, along with ways to break these bad habits. Snippet From the Show “Worrying is talking to yourself about things you cannot control while prayer is talking to God about things he can control.” For episode shownotes, text GIRLFRIENDS to 33-777 or visit www.ascensionpress.com/girlfriends.

0:00.0	Hello, Danielle Bean here. Just hopping on real quick before the start of today's show to let you know.
0:05.2	Today's show is a little bit different because this week I'm actually on vacation. My family and I are going to be in Cape Cod for a week. I'm really excited to have that downtime with them.
0:16.0	And so this week, the show is going to be a rerun. It's going to be a throwback to an episode from over a year ago.
0:22.8	I'm picking an episode that you may or may not have noticed back when it published, and yet
0:28.2	it garnered a lot of feedback and got a lot of positive feedback on it and people encouraging me
0:33.7	that that kind of content was really needed and that they were actually a little bit surprised
0:37.6	by the content. So I'm going to share it here again in case it's helpful to you. This show I called
0:42.7	Three Ways You're Wasting Your Time and How to Stop. And the surprising thing was none of them are the

1:06.6	summertime especially because we're kind of changing our routines, many of us, whether you have kids
1:11.6	who go to school or not. Our routines change in the summertime. There's a little bit more
1:16.4	opportunity for downtime. There's more opportunity for assessing how we'll spend our time and maybe
1:21.3	making a plan for the fall when we go back to school year, regular year kinds of routines.
1:27.2	Like I said, even if you don't
1:28.2	have kids in school, the world kind of works on that kind of schedule. Things are a little bit
1:32.3	more inclined toward rest and leisure during the summertime. And I just wanted to offer you a
1:38.4	little note here on what Jesus said about rest and leisure, because if you're not taking time
1:43.8	for downtime this summer,
1:45.3	maybe you're working hard on something, maybe you're going through a big project, maybe you've got
