Many of my clients ask me for help on stress and time management and what I say to them is that they must take good care of three things. First is Self. Borrowing a concept from Dr. Kathleen Hall, I teach the SELF model: Sleep (get enough), Exercise (get moving), Love (give and get), and Food (eat right). There are many other ingredients in self care but these four are basic. Second, take care of others (especially family, friends, neighbors, and customers) that you care deeply about. And third, take care of this place (particularly locally where you live and work). It's all we have. <br />Terrence Seamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474689673406427999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548469.post-740798149940899652013-09-25T16:45:02.084-04:002013-09-25T16:45:02.084-04:00Greed is "...a trap that is so commonplace in...Greed is "...a trap that is so commonplace in our culture as to be invisible to us." How very true - sadly true. But it is concerning to me that the circular nature of circumstances often prevents us from only doing what we (or the job) needs. Since we are doing the job of two people for less money than only one would get, the wheel on which we are running can never slow down. We have seen the losses of our parents and grandparents and live in fear of not being able to survive let alone afford extravagances. I take pride in work well done and while that is enough for me, it is not enough for those who would take advantage of my abilities and good heart. And so around we go: work hard, work too hard, misplace self, work hard again.<br /><br />Excellent line of thinking...I continue to ponder.Maryalice Leisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089161993650731403noreply@blogger.com
