Planning and preparing are good skills - they help us stay organized and make sure those around us have what they need. But when our motivations for planning and preparing shift, they can morph into controlling behaviors that run interference on our ability to trust God, ourselves, and others. A hypervigilance that doesn’t let us rest. Our surface-level calm can actually be anxiety in disguise.

Our bodies are loud. They have a lot to say if we pay attention. They often give us the first signs we are burning out before we get there, and, just as often, we ignore them.
