Eat the Cookie. . . Buy the Shoes:
Giving Yourself Permission to Lighten Up
by Joyce Meyer
Engrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. You must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress you keep staring at in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong!-and Joyce wants to tell us why...
Though setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once-in-awhile and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!

I read a book. I try to give myself a few minutes every day. It gives me a chance to unwind, because I am taking care of my son, who is recouperating from surgeries.

It doesn't happen often, but I like to scrapbook. It gives me a break to do something I enjoy, but I'm also being productive and making something special for my sons.

I read, blog, and/or walk (listening to Christian music) to relax!

Ha! Lately my breaks have consisted of pulling over to the side of the road (preferably where there is a nice view of the ocean or some other body of water), reclining the seat, putting my feet up on the dashboard, and reading my book. My van has become my safe haven!
Thanks for the chance to win this book. I'm sure there are some other ways to give myself a break!
