Planning: After self-evaluation move into action. Start planning new ways to overcome those old obstacles that left you feeling unfulfilled and stressed out.

Plan to research and take new training to help overcome this obstacle of feeling stuck.

Plan to outsource some of the workload in order to focus on more important task.

Plan to take some time off to regroup your mental capacity.

Plan to get back in touch with your spiritual roots. Prayer works. Everything is spiritual and if you are having problems in the physical then you should be honest and pray for help. Just the honest time alone with the Lord can refresh your spirit and increase your mental capacity with the help of the Lord according to 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10 “ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10.) That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Reflection: Think carefully and deeply about the information you gathered about yourself and progress. Now that you are no longer operating from a space of emotional exhaustion, you can begin to think clearly and logically.

• How has your life changed since taking on this new role? Write down the pros and cons.

Gratitude- The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. (Definition provided by Oxford Languages)
