My mind never stops. Always thinking of things needed to get done or buy. It stresses me out at times so I cannot imagine living with me. My poor husband. I expect him to be busy as well and that is just not fair. Everything doesn’t run on my schedule. That one is hard to comprehend because I always believe I am right.
As I’ve shared before, I am a list maker. A multiple list maker. There has never been even one day where that list was blank. I can figure out things to do even if they are small things. So, do I need a break and if so, from what?
My mind. I do not want something crazy to happen so that I get this needed break, but if it could be done without causing a catastrophe, let it be so. When your mind cannot just chill for a while it is draining and tiring. Hard to get to sleep much less stay asleep. It shows with your words, actions and attitude all the time. It is hard to hide your frustrations with everybody not listening and doing what you expect. You must learn that it is ok for you to be busy all the time, but also it is OK for others to sit back and relax. It’s called a happy medium – accepting people for who they are – just as you would want to be accepted. It takes hard work to get to this point, but it is so worth it for yourself and for others. It can be accomplished.
A break from my mind occasionally would be welcomed anytime. Being on the go continually cannot be healthy for anyone. We all need time to reflect and be still. It is similar to food. We all need food to survive, but in doses. To constantly eat would be hazardous to your health. So, too, is constantly being on the go. Remember this the next time you feel frustrated that others are not falling in line. You may just be making a date with death.
