OMG The Stress!!

UNTIMELY BURNOUT |
The other day I ran into an old friend.She was rumoured to
have gone through a bit of an abrasive period in life.At 42 she had just
recovered from the famous “burnout routine”….late nights,killing deadlines,stress,competition,aspiration,poor
eating ,disturbed sleep,discordant relationships.you know-the works.After
medically supervised treatment and a
year long sabbatical she appeared stronger and wiser.This is what she had to say
“I am a firm believer that people should try to make the
most out of each day that they are alive. We all have to die at some point and
even though this may seem a little morbid it is true. Today or tomorrow could
be our last day and therefore this is why we should be living each day to the
full.
The End of Life Is Closer Than You Imagine
No one can say for sure that they are going to live until
let’s say seventy years of age, most people I think presume that they will,
which could be seen in some quarters as a good thing. Each day I read and watch
the local and international news stories which make me aware of some very sad
events. People who are very young are dying each day in a variety of different
circumstances and I am very much aware that I am not immune from one of these
tragic events. Thinking positive they say is the right way to think, which I
have to admit is something I also agree with.

LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE |
My attitude is that I need to work to live where as other
people seem to live to work. It is like they would rather be at work than at
home having fun or spending time with their family. I know a number of people
who have young children but who leave their house at around half six in the
morning and do not return home until seven at night. This is not because they
are poor but because
they will take on any extra hours as way as overtime that
is offered to them. I personally would rather spend time with my children than
be stuck at work and feel that my life is enriched in this way.The Last Minutes Of Life Can Be The Happiest
When I am on my death bed ,what I hope will not be for a
long time yet of course, I want to be able to think and say to myself that I
have no regrets and that I am happy with the way I have lived my life. From the
work that I do, I am able to take my family on holiday each year and can afford
to pay all of my bills. Some no doubt might say that I should work a lot more
hours than I do, I would then be able to buy a better car and would be able to
take my family on two holidays per year. What I would say in response to this
however, is at what price would I be able to obtain this? I would have to
sacrifice much of the
“I would have to sacrifice much of the quality time I have with my
children, would not be able to take them swimming and to the park as often as I
do for example”

KIDS LOVE YOUR TIME WITH THEM |
quality time I have with my children, would not be able to
take them swimming and to the park as often as I do for example. I hope and
think that my children are very happy at the moment and this in my opinion is
priceless. I will not compromise this in search for a better standard of car
etc.
Where is The Logic In Living for Tomorrow?

SQUEEZE OUT HAPPY MOMENTS |
I used to constantly worry about what might happen to me in
three or six months time. Will this or that happen? If it does how would I be
able to cope? I am of course worrying in these situations about things that
have not even and may never happen. This I have now realised is pointless and
even very silly. I should be living for today, I should be making the most of
today, I will think about tomorrow, tomorrow.
“I will deal with any problems that come my way in the best
way that I can at the time when they happen”
By stressing about problems before they happen will only
stop me from enjoying myself on that particular day. I will deal with any
problems that come my way in the best way that I can at the time when they
happen, that is all I can do.
Now is the time to stop the stress, worry, fear and
depression. There is a good chance that we only have one life, so lets enjoy
it.”
