Peace: The Way Within and Without
Sunday, September 23, 2007
I am someone more fond of
hearing a joke as opposed to a
serious news story of the day. I didn't and don't want to know who got shot, stabbed, and died tragically. I got rid of my television set, so I could get a good night's sleep.
I enjoy my peace.
The news used to bother me so bad, that I found myself
crying after some stories. Why inflict that upon myself, then get ready for bed? Was it any wonder I was having nightmares?
That was years ago.
Can't rock my cradle now.Ever worked with people who spent the day trying to
work your last nerve? Based on the situation, I'd say: "I
document everything I say. I document everything
people say and do to me. That information is collected for a period of time, before I head off to HR."
It is
so effective, and the
work gets done stress free.
Stress is a component of life, but how much is too much? Too much is that
twitch in your left/right eye. Too much is that
stabbing pain in your chest, gut, back and shoulders. Too much is that
strain in your voice: have you been shouting lately? Is your hair coming out? Are you gaining weight? Are you losing weight?
Take a break.
Do it now. If you are being overwhelmed:
ask for help. If that wont do it:
take a sick day. If that wont do it:
take a vacation. If that really wont do it:
quit.
Taking a break doesn't only pertain to work, this applies to
everything dragging you down: toxic relationships, a bad habit you wont quit, refusing to make important decisions, etc.
When one is in search of peace,
it never hurts to run away as fast and far as you can. It's either
fight or flight. If you can't manage the fight now: Run! Come back later and fight those battles later, or not at all.
Seek peace: reward yourself. Labels: health, peace, peace of mind, stress
