I think we tend to lose our patience more with our own kids because we can, but shouldn't. And at work there was a break time and lunch where you could do your own thing. Being at home it's pretty much 24/7. I have heard good things about the Busy book, but haven't looked into it. I miss reading like I used to...well, unintrrrupted reading anyhow. =pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432489464503320239.post-20310357739843471042010-03-21T10:07:29.886-05:002010-03-21T10:07:29.886-05:00I have certainly been 'stuck' before.

I am a list-maker, so I find that usually what I need to get moving is to sit and write down all my ideas, wants, goals, and actual things to do, and then pick one and start on it. <br /><br />Another thing that helps me is talking to someone who has 'gone before me' down the same, or similar, path. That often gives me the chance to voice some questions, get encouragement where I feel uncertain, AND implement some accountability - because someone ELSE knows I'm stuck now and also knows I have made an effort to get un-stuck...bashtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865739589835039440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432489464503320239.post-75497656475605429182010-03-20T11:37:40.092-05:002010-03-20T11:37:40.092-05:00My "classroom size" is 5.

The best thing? If I just <i>do</i> it; whether that is taking a class, buying a new Bible study guide and starting it, going to a conference. That first step is always the hardest. Once I realize I need to kick start the growth, I need to take an immediate step to do so.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850745429509147652noreply@blogger.com
