So, friends, I'm on my way to Maine for a 2 week vacation and it is time to practice what I preach! Yikes. First, I've taken my laptop with me. No, no! And I've already had one conference call and I'm writing this blog. No,no, no.... Then I'm taking an on line class which has webinars twice a week plus homework. Do I listen in or wait til I get home and then catch up? But if I wait til I get home then I'll really be far behind. Dilemmas.
Can you feel my pain? This time for yourself stuff isn't easy and choices have to be made. Whatever I decide to do, and I will let you know, will be a conscious choice of mine. If I say Yes to the class, I know I am saying no to just chilling out and its consequences. If I say Yes to chilling out, then I know I am saying no to staying current in the class and its consequences.
We face these types of decisions every day and with each yes there is a corresponding no and vice versa. With time and practice the Yes to downtime will become a no to an overcrowded schedule. And therefore a Yes! to self care, health and sanity!!!!
More later on the power of a Positive No. For now know that I too struggle with these choices and we are in this together.
Breathe and take a break
Nancy
