RE: 30 Day Challenge ~~ DAY SEVEN!

in #life5 years ago

There are times when we need a clone, a double, who can do all the things we want to do. I remember when I turned 30 and reviewed all the years I had lived and thought I had wasted one of the most valuable things of this time: time. Then I started doing a marathon of things I was supposed to have pending: family, work, friends. I started to dose the time, and therefore the hugs, the conversations, so that I could do all the things I wanted to do. I longed and regretted the time I had wasted in my youth sleeping, dancing, drinking. But one day I realized that just "humanly" I couldn't do everything I wanted and had to do. There are days when you can do the thousand activities marathon and make it perfect, but there are other days when you get up and enjoy being in bed, reading a good book, with a good beer. That's worth it! I would go with that friend and have a good time. Sometimes it's not the time, it's the people. Hugs and thanks for the support. ;)

wow, well put.. i think sometimes the most stress comes from having unrealistic expectations.. if we reevaluate what's really important and cut ourselves some slack from time to time, it might go a long way for our mental wellbeing. I like the idea of 'dosing' out your time.. to others and yourself.. great way to look at managing this valuable commodity.

Thanks for the support as well! :)
