R and R Tip # 93 : Read the warning signs
Have you ever seen signs along the beach that say: NO SWIMMING
It's a warning sign for people so that they don't go in the water...Something is wrong. Maybe there is a strong undercurrent or polluted water.
We are often like the people that dive right in anyway. Totally ignoring the warning signs. We put on a wetsuit and dive into the ocean in an attempt to retrieve our hopes and dreams. We're more comfortable in the mucky waters than in heading the warning signs
Don't ignore the warning signs. If you are beginning to feel overwhelmed, tired out and are dragging your feet to get through the day , you may need to make a life change or amend your situation with a few small deeds. Take caution to see the signs that you are becoming overwhelmed before they are able to take a toll on your mental, emotional, and physical states.
One of the essentials that we tend to disregard is looking after ourselves when our burden becomes heavy. But self care is even more critical at times like this, so be kind to yourself. Remember that sleep and rest are not just important for coping with stress. Numerous studies show that it is essential for good health.
Next time life confronts you with a warning sign , take a deep breath, slow right down and attend to the simplest things that are important to keep you going. Gather your strength, remembering that you are definitely up to the challenge and eventually this too shall pass. Life is sometimes compared to a journey. On a journey, we heed the warning signs and head toward our destination. We go forward to arrive there. The choice is always ours!
Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
