Comments for A Day in the Life of... http://marissahyatt.wordpress.com Thoughts and concerns about my life, the world around me, and a hint into what goes on in my mind.

I do however find a great release in drowning myself in some piano every now and again. Climbing is honestly less of a release for me right now just because I'm around it every day, but that's why I come in and climb alone sometimes. It's really important to make sure that your outlets maintain their integrity in your life. If they become work, for instance, they're no longer a release. Nice blogging, keep it up.

Thirdly though, and the one not always the most obvious to me as an outlet, is simply chucking away "adult" inhibitions and playing with my kids as simply a big kid. At those times- for me anyway- even more so than with the other outlets, I also am more readily reminded that God is good. My soul is restored.

I use golfing and playing guitar and singing as my outlets. There were times in my life where I spent a lot of time golfing to just get away from everything going on in my life.

I resist control freaks and then I try to control my life - When I let go and let God I am so "surprised" that things work out! :0) WOW I needed that today – I am so “good” at asking God for wisdom and help and then telling Him how I think he should work in a situation.

Hiking, walking, reading under a tree. I love trees and shade, throw in a little stream and mix well. I'm an extravert (big surprise) but being alone outside enables me to get grounded again and listen to the voice of God instead of all the other "voices" clammering for my attention. Lessons learned: Sometimes I will do anything to avoid being alone, outside or anywhere. The very thing I love. Sometimes I don't like what God has to show me about myself or about my situation. I prefer to live under the illusion that I have everything under control and can I can just do fine without any help from Him. I think I already know what He's going to say anyway, so why even bother. But when I do push through that resisitance and set aside the time to be quiet and to listen, I almost always discover that I don't have the foggiest idea. He leads me through the difficult places and messages, and takes me to a place of greater realization of my truest and best self. My favorite outlet: Being outside.

I like that. Good thoughts. Thanks bunches! My two main outlets are taking nature photos (the active lava flow on the Big Island is my favorite!) and snorkeling in pristine waters. It always relieves my stress! When you’re up against the wall…climb it! I like that. Good thoughts. Thanks bunches!
