It is easy to get overcommitted, burned out, bummed out, worn out, and stressed out if you are trying to keep up with too many commitments. It is out of balance to do everything. If you are happy doing what you do, keep doing it. But if it wears you out and robs you of peace, don't do it. What sense does it make to commit to something, and then murmur and complain about it while you are doing it?
Being overcommitted will frustrate you. Anxiety is usually a sign that God never told you to do what you are doing in the first place. To avoid frustrations in your life, keep in balance.

The above was taken from November 4's devotion in Starting Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer. I'm not a morning person and my best friend knew that first hand so she bought this book for me in high school. I still read it to this day to get a fresh perspective every morning!
