In this multi-tasking, do-it-yourself society, are you still trying to be a super person? Even when we know that it causes excess stress, anxiety and confusion, we are still trying to prove to someone that we really can accomplish more than the average person all by ourselves. Yes, we are able to accomplish great feats — with help. Delegation is so important. And guess what!! Our family, friends and associates are often eager and pleased to be entrusted with some of those activities we mistakenly thought were meant only for our eyes. What are you willing to delegate? I know it’s not easy. Start with something really simple and graduate to releasing more and more.br /Everyone will be better for it
Aging Parents
Can you remember the first time you thought your parents were old? How about in junior high when you requested they drop you off because they would be the only parents (ie oldest) attending the event? Don’t forget your college visits when your parents totally disagreed with your point of view?(because they were old) After settling into your career and reminiscing on something you vividly remember; your parents don’t recall or their version is quite different from yours? Have you noticed established routines changing — visiting familiar places, less participation in favorite activies? It’s not about our parents aging, but how we handle the situation. How is it affecting your life? Who is supporting you?br /What are you doing about it?
No is the best answer
We often want to accommodate others — even when it is not convenient for us. Learning to say, “no”, has its rewards. Think of what can be accomplished when we are honest with ourselves. The more open and sincere we are with a “no”, the more responsive we can be to receive that which truly resonates with the real “you”.
Change
Change comes bearing gifts. Think of any significant change that has occured in your life — now remember the good that accompanied that change. What kind of action do you want to take to bring about some necessary change in your life? Just think of the gifts that change will bring. It is worth the effort
