If you are the caregiver mom who can't sit down because you are afraid something will fall apart the second you do, then this episode is for you. We are talking about setting boundaries for what we have to carry, and what was only ever leave for God to carry.

Caregiver control is a problem that causes Burnout and we need to surrender what is not ours to carry. As caregivers we need to set boundaries and learn to say no more than yes when we don't have the capacity. Rest is crucial for us to show up for loved ones we care for. We should not depend on our strength to do it all. Learn the art of surrender, its big problem for caregivers. We need to set boundaries and use the REST framework as a formula to beat burnout. I ignored my own symptoms of pain when breathing because I was caring for my son in hospital. This got worst and I ended up in ER and hospital for weeks. I had a kidney infection that was painful, severe and took weeks to be treated and recover. Moms, please listen to your bodies and do not ignore those early signs of discomfort. You matter too!

R - Receive help and support from others this is not sign of weakness.

E - Exhale and pause let go of what is depleting you

S - Surrender the thing you are holding onto, hand it over to God as daily rhythm.

T - Turn to God's truth replace fear and anxiety with prayer and scriptures that sustain you.

Identify one task this week you will delegate

Choose one daily REST and practice this rhythm

Write down what is draining you and release that to God

Ask for help and be specific with what you truly need.

Protect your mornings and have peaceful rhythms. Hope this wakes you up to set boundaries for yourself as caregiver and surrender what you can't carry. Proverbs 31 v 25 encourages us to be clothed in God's strength. Ask for help you can't do this alone. You have permission to put something down and trust God.
