What do you see in your mind’s eye when you read the phrase, “Mighty Monday.” I want you to have a Mighty Monday by getting ready for the week today. Christmas is less than two weeks away. We also have homes that need attention. Husbands and children who need attention. So today I want you to be a Mighty Mom. Make a short list of no more than 6 things that you need to do today. Number them. Write the numbers 1-6 on 6 pieces of paper. Put them in a bowl and draw a number one at a time. Use your timer for each task. Keep it under 15 minutes at a time. If it’s a project with several steps, allow for that, too. As you check these off your list, you will feel like a Mighty Mom. I know you can do this! I want you to have less stress next week leading into Christmas, so try to hit those Zone and Holiday Missions each day this week.
