CRISIS
Life is full of crises;
Get used to it.
But crisis doesn't have to be difficult or painful
Unless you insist upon it.
Crisis is nothing more
And nothing less
Than a "T" junction --
An opportunity and an invitation to try another way.
How you feel about that challenge is up to you.
And.......
How you see it will determine
Your next choices and decisions.
STRESS
Stress is the discomfort of being off-balance,
The tension between two Oughta's --
What Oughta Be -v- What Oughta Not-Be.
Stress is a sure sign of Resistance to the way things seem to be:
No resistance = no stress.
I'm not saying stress is bad -- or good for that matter,
But too much of it for too long can be detrimental to your well-being.
I have the scars to prove that.
Life is a balancing act,
And, as part of the game, it often conspires to knock us off-balance
For a very creative reason.
When the boat gets rocked
We're invited to shift our arse from a fixed and rigid, limiting point of view
And take the opportunity to re-structure our perception of reality.
Stress levels go through the roof
When we judge the feeling of being off-balance as "bad"
Instead of opting to engage with the crisis
We waste energy railing and reacting
Against whatever we deem to be "the cause" of our perturbation.
And the crises keep coming..........
Next time you catch yourself trying to fireproof yourself against the process of evolving,
Try, instead, surrendering and responding creatively to the rocking of the boat.
You have everything to gain,
Including freedom, flexibility, poise and mastery.
For the price of a little transitory discomfort,
That strikes me as a good deal
CHRONIC FATIGUE
The prize for ""life on the No's".
The inevitable result of chronic resistance.
