What I've Learned From Stress On Tuesdays
October 7, 2008 - 7:09am by ThomasTuesdays are an opportunity to start over. If I've had a "case of the Mondays," I can regroup and get back on track for the week. Tuesdays are the days when I seek to get in a groove and get things done.
Today is an important day for the country as there is a presidential debate tonight. I need to remind myself to not stress out about any of the lies or propaganda that continue to be spread---and how so many Christians willingly eat it up. This makes me angry. I cannot get stressed out about it. The political deception of so many Christians is an ingrained and generational problem that will take a long time until our hearts and minds look to Christ as our King---he has dominion over all things. And that is something I am not stressing over, but gladly welcoming into this world.
As part of the HigherCallings blog network, I have been made keen to what others are doing in the blogosphere concerning work and faith. This week Robert Hzurek of Middle Zone Musings is leading a series on What I've Learned From Stress. It's kind of like a synchroblog of sorts. If you blog, feel free to join in too. I have decided to write a post on each day and how stress relates to it.

I love this concept: Tuesdays as the REAL start of the week. Settling in, building momentum for the rest of the week, taking a bead on what's important to accomplish...
Thanks again!
That's a great way of looking at it. I'm retired, so there's little difference between my weekdays and weekends. To a certain extent that was true even when I was working. I had a job that I loved and I took a break when my enthusiasm started to wane. I never had a case of "the Mondays".
On the other hand, when there are things on my Possibility List (I don't do TO DO lists, they're too bossy for me) that I don't want to do, I ease into them slowly to build up momentum. It's pretty much what you're talking about.
Good post. Great idea. Thanks.
