Simple, you don't bring your computer and don't check email via phone. The fact that so many people neglect to just unplug is the reason they are miserable and burn out

Don't set that precedent for yourself. Agreed exactly with EY 1- just don't check anything. Vacation message up- email from phone deactivated 😂

People need to learn to draw the line or it becomes expectation and they wonder why people leave. When I close my laptop I am done till I am back and don't worry about it.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.
