Guise I used to think I had to do all of
them, and I was doing them all the time, from the moment I woke up until I flew
out the door for work... Then one day I went to see the counselor and he
suggested I experiment by not making my bed for two weeks... It’ s incredible. I
never felt better. And you know what I don’ t dry my dishes anymore ,either. I
discovered I had choices in my life and my life is so much different now.
Holtz I used to take better care of my house and car
than I did of myself. I put everyone else’ s needs ahead of my own. That’ s fine
if it’ s occasional. It would even be okay if there was a balance. But then one
day I realized I was wearing myself out. Fortunately, yes, and that’ s the key,
too. I know life doesn’ t have to be like that. The point is to do something for
myself every day. Legh I got busy and ran short
of time. I stopped exercising and started to skip meals, then I stole time from
my sleep. Soon I found myself too busy to see morn and dad and friends. I
stopped reading and playing ball, and six months went by without a long walk...
Then I realized that was not a great way to live. I’ ve got to change. I know
where to begin. I picked them up one by one. Clan
It took a long time for me to realize that fax machines and cellular
phones don’ t save time but merely speed up the already hectic pace of life. And
trying to be more efficient isn’ t the key, either. That’ s just a way of
cramming more into less time. I then came to realize that we really should be
aiming to do less and enjoy it more. And the thing is I never bring my briefcase
home from the office any more. Jelly I didn’ t
know what I was busy doing. I only knew I was terribly tired and needed to take
a nap. I needed to take a walk. I needed to sit down and lean back. I believed
in it, you know, save the best for the last. Then I realized it probably would
never happen if it always got left until last. Work before health and pleasure
soon becomes work instead of health and pleasure. Thank God I’ m so different
now. I’ m so very, very back. Now match each of the persons with
