So, you know I try to be transparent on this here blog! Whew! So, I had a conversation with a guy recently and I totally bombed the
whole thing. I have not dated for real since being divorced. I have been
getting closer to God and focusing on my heart and my healing. I have been
concentrating on abstaining from sex, lust and other triggers I’ve experienced
in my past. I have been focused on hearing God’s voice clearer and so much more. Soooooo, back
to my story. I recently had a conversation with this guy that I think is
extremely handsome, I would go out on the limb and say I had a slight crush on
him. SMH. In that conversation I realized how awkward and ill prepared I was in this
space. It was a small part of my lesson I learned this week…. I gotta pace
myself. I have to slowww down to hear
the voice of the Lord. Yes, feeling all gooey is cool and all and that feeling
of having a crush is cute but it can be oh so shallow!! Reflecting on that
conversation made me realize how many other areas in my life could use a sober
and slower approach. I have the tendency to fantasize about what could be in
spaces like business, love, and just life! But, pacing yourself helps you live more
for the present moment and enjoying life as is without focusing on expectations.
Of course, there is a need for expectations but there are moments where we
can’t zoom in on them.
Does that make sense? Picture this: You’re eating dinner
and it’s so good that instead of chewing slowly and savoring the taste, you
miss the entire moment by focusing on
what’s on the plate and what’s for dessert.
Trying to digest moments too fast can cause you to choke!
The risks are endless…..
P A C E Y O U R S E L F !!!!
Quick couple of tips for Pacing Yourself:
1. Refrain from shallow thinking!
Level up your thinking and go deeper!!! Surface level thinking does not allow you to level up!

2. Don’t trust your emotions!
Emotions will send you clean off! Being overly emotional takes away your power to remain sober and focused.

3. Focus
on God’s plan for YOU!
Not pacing yourself can take you outside the will of GOD! God’s timing is PERFECT.

We must dig deeper into our why and our what. Why are you attracted to who or what you’re attracted to and what purpose does this serve you and your life’s purpose?
