What occupies your time??
What occupies your time?
Don't you also find that we sometimes spend our time on things of little importance.
I find that I am so busy that I couldn't even just sit down and have a nice cup of tea. I always just want to do one more thing even though my body says: Stop, take it easy, take a breath, go lie on your bed or take a stroll in the garden. No I would say to myself there is no time for that I have to meet one or other deadline, I just keep pushing myself to do one more thing. Just sometimes I think what if this deadline leads to my deadline! It is scary to think about it this way isn't it?

I reached a point in my life where I no longer want to be part of the rat race it just wasn't worth it anymore. It was time to look at at the things that occupied my time what was really important and what was just filling my diary but was not so necessary.
Sometimes it takes a major thing to shock us.
I was waiting for test results from the doctor because I was feeling very tired all the time. She told me that my liver is not doing well and that if I am not going to have a drastic turn around in my life style I could die. Well that stopped me in my tracks, the doctor said that I must have less stress and I must eat healthy food. The medicine I was taking for cholesterol and other things was also contributing to the condition my liver was in. I was thinking if I don't do something now there will be no tomorrow.
There are other people who can also help you and you can say no.
The school is starting on Monday and I will be rushing around again, stressing about things and people, here is were I decide that I will start to delegate more and I will only concern myself with the people that give meaning to my life the rest I am going to treat proffesionally, but I will not let them get under my skin.
I will spend more time with my friends and family the people that makes me happy in 2018. I hope that you will too.
I came to the conclusion that I spend too much time trying to change things I can't and I rather want to do something myself because I do not want any mistakes, well this will change, things don't have to be perfect.
The last thing I must do in 2018 is learn how to say NO. This will be a challenge, but I must try to get it right because I still want to live and be with my husband, family and friends for a long time!
I am so sorry to hear about your health @stardust. I will keep you in my prayers. It is not easy to change our ways. I suggest you keep a kind of diary of how did you fare the past week with delegating and saying no. Good luck with all of that.
Thank you hope777 I am really going to make an effort and the diary is a great idea. I appreciate your prayers.
