"How are you?" "Busy!" Sound familiar? We are all on the run...it seems everyone I know has an overloaded calendar! The thing is, the calendar is filled with a lot of great things and worhwhile activities on it! If you're a Type A Personality, then you probably love being busy. If feels great to get a lot accomplished! But what happens over time? You know, that feeling when you finally sit down on the couch, and you don't want to get up. You may find yourself interupted by that annoying alarm clock, knowing you are not fully rested. You also may find your neck and back are sore, and you have a headache. You may even wonder, when do I have time for myself? If you feel stressed out, irritable or exhausted you may be on your way to "brownout" One of the latest terms to describe fatigue and a lack of focus and productivity is called "brownout". Basically, this is the stage before you get to full "burnout"!
Whether you are burned out, browned out or just plain stressed out, you need to listen to your body! The physical body needs rest, the mind needs rejuvenation! We will benefit so much from taking time out to take care of ourselves! In honor of mother's day, I want to thank moms everywhere for all they do that is repetitive, boring and receives no thank-you's! Remember, that to take care of others we need to take care of ourselves! What are you going to do today, to slow down, breathe deeply and relax? Put yourself and a fun activity that will charge your batteries on your calendar today!
For more tips on rejuvenating yourself in the middle of your busy schedule, join us Thursday, May 6 at 7 pm for a workshop that will help you live with a balanced lifestyle!
Be well!
