Today I am sitting on the back porch enjoying the sun. It is a beautiful day. The sky is clear, the sun is warm and the breeze is sweet and cool. I want to share another treasure I found...
HOW TO STAY LEVEL, MAINTAIN EQUILIBRIUM, KEEP BALANCED
Some Suggestions:
Put first things first (Suggested order)
1. God 2. Yourself 3. Spouse 4. Family 5. Church 6. Life's work
Laugh as much as possible
A good hearty laugh, according to medical authorities, is one of the best health (physcial, mental, and emotional) treatments available. Laughter eases tension, releases pent up energy, and provides exercise for little used facial and chest muscles.
A deep breath gives you 500 cubic centimeters of air. A deep laugh feeds more than 3,000 cubic centimeters of oxygen to body tissues with one guffaw. Every 60 seconds of hearty laughter exposes the entire body to an extra dash of oxygen.
With meals, laughter aids digestion by forcing the liver to produce more bile.
Gathering for lunch with a group of funny people obscures worrisome headlines, blurs budget concerns, and cancels out the need for a 100 yard dash.
Live in the present
Let the past go, especially if it echoes with mistakes or regrets.
Don't project or anticipate the future, except for a positive plan.
Consider today a 'present,' a gift.
Seize the moment, make NOW a brilliant success.
(Focus on the task at hand as if it is the only thing you have to do.)
"To affect the quality of the day is the highest of arts." Thoreau
Know your limits and accept them
Say no when have to.
If your life feels like a balanacing act, you're probably out of balance.
Fix it. Cut down on the number of spinning plates.
Don't be motivated or driven by guilt. If you feel quilty, take action.
Bottom line "see that all things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a woman/man should run faster than she/he has strength." Mosiah 4:27
"To every things there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
