Is Your Battery Running Low?
|
Hey, it's Mark. On a recent morning, I should have been out driving for Uber. But when I got into the car, the dashboard hit me with a little surprise: “Low Battery.” 🪫 Now, I could’ve ignored it and hoped for the best. But the risk? I’d be stranded mid-shift—or worse—stuck somewhere post-bathroom break with a car that won’t start. So, I delayed my day to take care of it. And it got me thinking... We don’t have dashboard alerts on our foreheads. But we do have warning signs when our energy is low. And yet? Most people ignore them. They burn the candle at both ends. Push through headaches, snap at loved ones, forget to eat, skip sleep, and act like it’s some badge of honor to hustle non-stop. But here’s the thing: your body is talking to you. ⚠️ Here are 5 warning lights to watch for:
Sound familiar? Rest isn’t weakness. You don't need to go full-throttle every single day of the year. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to just be. So if your dashboard is flashing red—whether it’s mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual—it’s time to slow down, fuel up, and reset. I replaced my car battery. Please—pay attention to the signs. 👉 Follow me on TikTok for more inspiration like this, including short, punchy videos to keep your energy and clarity high.

That’s chaos disguised as productivity. Here’s the system that actually works (the same one I’ve used for years and still swear by): Create separate, smart lists instead of one monster list. Shopping – one list per store Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe’s, pharmacy – whatever you actually shop at. Bonus: share...
Hey, Reader! Overwhelm isn't a sign you're failing—it's a signal something needs to shift. These seven habits have carried me through the busiest seasons, and they still work because they're simple, repeatable, and rooted in how God actually wired us for rest, joy, and rhythm. Prioritize real sleep Your brain and soul need 7–9 hours of consistent rest. Same bedtime, same wake time—even on weekends. When we're exhausted, everything feels heavier than it is. God built a rhythm of work and rest...
Hey, Reader! Your phone is winning. It pings, it glows, it steals hours you’ll never get back. Here are the four moves that actually work in 2025. I’ve used every one of them for years. They still work better than any new app or “focus mode” gimmick. Clear your home screen completely. Leave only your wallpaper showing. Nothing in the dock if you can stand it (I keep four essentials). First thing you see when you unlock? A photo that makes you smile — your dog, your kid, a sunset — not a wall...
