Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 205
Title: How
To Make Life Simple Again
I have often been bombarded with the question of how I am
able to keep going in the face of numerous activities like writing and editing
my books, doing this podcast on daily basis, maintaining more than 10 blogs in
different niches and all that and
The answer is, carefully.
I walk the talk, I use all of the productivity,
success, and happiness principles I write about not just to motivate you, but
also to keep my little race car racing forward.
It also helps that I truly enjoy the things I
discuss and do.
Additionally,
there are many things I don't do in order to
make time for it all.
However, lately I’ve been giving some thought to
downtime. The idea is that if one is racing forward all of the time and doesn't
stop to relax, s/he is going to miss some priceless opportunities.
Most of us do have a substantial amount of
downtime that we spend with our family or significant others, but we forget to
leave time for ourselves – ME time.
There isn’t necessarily no ME time, but there
just isn’t much of it.
Can you relate
to that feeling?
Let me tell you a story about how I was recently
reminded of this important lesson...
Last week a "workaholic" friend of
mine got sick. He was really super sick and which made him get admitted in the
Hospital. While there, he was unable to rush to the Office as usual, spend the
whole day holed into his cubicle doing both the ones that he was sent to do and
the ones he was not sent to do, he was simply unable to do anything while in
the Hospital.
Well that's okay, everybody gets sick once in a while, right?
nope wrong!
When the only thing you do is work work work to the detriment
of your health, it is an open invitation to ill health and sickness
So, back to my story, my friend's Office Colleagues did not
even come to visit him in the Hospital, His immediate Supervisor called on phone,
the only persons who were there with him were members of his immediate family
and the few friends like me his wife mentioned the admission to.
His hospitalization, made him just a few days of reduced
productivity but he was shocked to find out that someone else was detailed to
continue from where he had stopped in order not to cause several projects to get seriously
behind schedule.
He then realized that when anyone is racing
forward as fast as his legs can carry him, if not faster, sometimes a little
bit of wobble in the wheels can result in a smoking fireball against the
nearest barrier wall.
Well, the good news is that my friend is well
again and back to his feet and his usual boisterous person but he learnt a
great deal of lessons from that hospitalization and he has vowed to simply his
life in order to be alive to reap the fruits of his labour.
He thinks that perhaps, it's time for him to reduce his tight
hold on to his job and stuff that really don't pay that great dividend and
build up his family life while keeping in close touch with the few friends he
has allowed into his life. He thinks it is time to reclaim some ME time for himself,
and get back to the core principles of simplicity and happiness.
Do you want to slow down a bit too?
Does your race car feel like it has a bit of a
wobble in the wheels?
Are you speeding forward without any time to
relax or reflect?
Wouldn't you like to learn the art of slowing down... so
you have more time to refuel and can return to the energetic and positive
person you know you can be, someone who is ready to tackle any challenge.
Wouldn't
you like to learn how to embrace simplicity… so your days aren't filled up
so fast and you don’t feel rushed and overwhelmed with distractions.
Wouldn't
you like to learn how you can get back to effortless happiness... so you
can stay positive (even through difficult times like a divorce, loss, or other
major life challenges).
Did
any of those feel like something you need? I know I do.
