Do you get sinus headaches like I do? Do you ever wake up cranky?
These situations, along with others, make going to work difficult. If you walk into a room, wake up twenty-some dogs that simultaneously start barking, each demanding your immediate attention, such complications make even the best day a challenge.
However, if you have the right equipment, then the day is better. After having my toes smashed and my feet scratched, I've learned it is far better to wear sturdy shoes, not flip flops, in the kennel. To prevent pounding headaches from worsening, I wear earplugs. In order for my hands not to ache constantly (so I can do important things like blogging), a good pair of work gloves reduces the wear and tear.
Perhaps you've heard some people talking about making sure they are "prayed up" before they head out the door. Maybe they put on the "full armor of God." Those are all fine strategies, once you decipher the ''Christianese."
Finding some time in your day to seek God in prayer, to read something calming from Psalms, and to just realize that the day may test your patience and abilities helps give one's life a sense of preparation. Sometimes, it is also restorative.
What do you do to make the challenges of your day easier? Every job, task, and situation presents obstacles. With the right "tools," a day's challenges aren't so overwhelming.
