DON'T POKE THE BEAR!!

It’s amazing how much thinking I do in the middle of the night when I am supposed to be sleeping. Sometimes thinking is problem solving, sometimes planning, trying to remember until tomorrow what I need to do, but it leaves me wondering if I’m really sleeping or getting enough rest.

In an attempt to analyze this further…I decided to remember how I felt in the morning as an indicator. You’ll be simply astounded…lol…at what I found out.

The nights I struggled to remember things, I didn’t feel rested in the morning. I felt more like I had been working all night. So the next time, I got up wrote it down and went back to bed. In the morning I felt rested. So being the skeptic that I am about taking things at face value, I tried it a few more times until I was sure this was the case.

Dare you …Try it, you’ll see for yourself.

Why is sleep so important? It’s the time your body gets to recoup before another day in the rat race. It’s a complex series of things your body does in order to help keep you at the top of your game.

What is the top of your game? Mine is being inspired by what I love to do. Being a nurse I love to help people, love to share what I know (sometimes without being asked) and I love to grow my business. My business is helping others get on the health train. We can either pay or pay later!! Pay to stay healthy or pay to treat illness. The big difference is that when you wait until you are ill, life stops as you know it. Sometimes for a long time and sometimes forever.

I urge you to join me in the struggle to be healthy. I recommend you learn more about the company I recommend products from:

Then contact me for your own private talk with me. Together, one step at a time, we’ll get there!! The consultation is free for a limited time. So don’t wait!!

Stress and the Goal-a-holic

Wow, as long as I can remember, I have been setting goals. Goals have to be made, you have a plan, the goals have to be met and then new ones have to take their place. Right?

Then I read, "let go of the goals"...my life came unraveled. What can this mean? I'm confused and dismayed.  This can't really work can it? This not only worked, but worked better.

One thing I  know is all the goals I ever made, were just that, goals. They didn't become reality. Now I was thinking about that. I said to myself...they didn't become reality, why is that? Was I just going through motions that I thought I needed to go through? Isn't that what my parents had done? It certainly took a tole on me. It certainly felt like I was trying, or was I afraid of trying, of failing, of succeeding? I can remember the stress of the deadline, I felt the blood roaring through my ears, I felt the sweat on my forehead and palms of my hands. My heart was racing with every tick of the clock. I often thought there should be a better way of handling this. Well, I think I could have been right about that. Listen to this story.

Consistently working 80+ hours a week can mess with priorities. Goals possibly played a part in these crazy hours...ya think?  Or was it an excuse to avoid issues in other areas of life?  Now the immediate reaction the mind tells the body is RUN...RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. Are you goal oriented to the point of craziness? Is your body talking back? Feeling sick, run down? Listen up!!

Are you so wrapped up in success that you forgot to have a life? Take that day off, take that class, read that book, go out to dinner, write, paint,compose,run, jump...well you get it.  Dedicate some of your life to what you LOVE. We all need some type of regular income. Think about this, are you doing what you love to do? If not, then start doing it on the side, a few hours a week or a month. Do it! Start Now!!

By stepping out of the goal oriented world I found my life interest was still there. Still waiting for me. Helping people is what I wanted to do from age 4 when I first opened that golden book with the title "Nurse Nancy". The minute I saw those stars and stripes bandages stuck to the inside cover and read the story of how Nancy helped people feel better, I knew that was what I wanted to do.

Next time, I'll tell you just how I think about "No one ever gets a second chance in life"
