The emphasis was that basically too many of us nowadays live our lives in the fast lane and forget the really important stuff. I read a good post earlier about the wonder that kids see in everyday life (and I would link to it, but can I find it now!!! grr).
The author says that the people who do any or all of the following are the least stressed -
- go for daily walks
- start their day in prayer, reflection, reading the bible or silent contemplation
- take their full lunch hour
- make sure one day a week is spent 'not working'
- take all their holiday allowance
- say 'no' when they have to.
Guess what? I can tick 5 out of the 6. not bad huh?
How many can you tick and are you feeling stressed by all this snow?
I feels real nice to be able to tick those off. Anyone who knows me or has read my blog for some time will know I have trouble relaxing and I love to be busy. So it is good to know that I am making some headway in my recovery and my personal growth towards being a human 'being' instead of a human who is always 'doing!'
