Stop – In The Name of Calm!
February 23, 2009
“Stop worrying about the future,
the past, the unknown. Stop scurrying
from one draining activity to the next.
Stop long enough to close your eyes,
breathe deeply, and whisper a prayer.”
– Molly Ringwald, Heavenly Ways to Handle Stress –
Our society fosters the belief that “busy is good”. The more items on our daily agenda and the more tasks on our plate, the more important we feel. From a stress perspective, more is not better. When we begin to dread our daily challenges and resent their toll on our psyches, it’s time to say “Stop. No more.”
Ponder:
When was the last time you said “yes” to a commitment though you wanted to say “no”?
What choices can you make today to say “no” to more unneeded stress?
