I'm
in a Meeting
So, someone asked you to do something that you just didn’t
want to do. However, being the sweetheart that you are,
you just couldn’t say no. You can’t lie, can
you? Well, let me tell you what you can do. Tell them,
you are in a meeting. What? What am I talking about? I’m
talking about you of course. You want to stay healthy
right? You want a little mental R and R, rest and relaxation.
Well, you tell them you have a previously scheduled meeting.
They don’t have to know your meeting with yourself.
Watch your favorite show, cook your favorite food, or
(dare I say it) go for a walk. Never do anything you don’t
want to do, just to please someone else. When we are young,
the first thing most of us learn to do is say “No”.
Strangely enough, along the way all we can do is say yes
to others, and no to ourselves. Well its high time you
get your priorities straight because he best meetings
are those you make with yourself.

A
Me Day
When life gets overwhelming its time to take a "Me
Day." If you have not taken one yet, this is what
you have to do: Make a list of your favorite past times,
and forget about everything else. Go see that movie you
wanted to, make up your own spa treatment: take a nice
long bath, do your hair and nails, get some body lotions,
and relax. Some people like to watch movies, or simply
lay in bed and turn on the radio. What ever you do, do
it by yourself. No people, no phone calls. External people
and events can add to the stress in your life. If you
take the time to devote time to your own needs, you can
have a clear head and a calm disposition when dealing
with the everyday trials of life.

Where’s
My Caller ID?
Have
you ever settled down to a good movie and your favorite
brand of ice cream when she called. Of course she has
issues, as usual. Somebody done did her wrong, as usual.
And of course you have to sit there for two hours and
listen to her complain not because you give good advice,
but because you’re a good listener. All she wants
right now is to hear her self talk, and believe that you
are actually listening. Problem is, while she lets go
of the tension, you assume it tenfold. Sometimes folks
can call you in TMI Mode. Too much information for you
to handle, but you somehow do, not realizing that you
are getting stressed in the process. Never be too afraid
to get off the phone, or just not pick it up at all. Sometimes
the best thing for YOU to do, is let your friend handle
it by his/herself. Friends shouldn’t stress out
other friends. However, friends shouldn’t neglect
their duties as friends. Its okay to listen sometimes,
but when that listening crosses your personal space, its
time to setup that Caller ID. |
