Exchange stress for the warm fuzzies!

August 21, 2014

Use these violent and uncertain times to count your blessings.

When you feel squeezed and pressured by life stuff, remind yourself of how rich (and safe) you are and give: give something small, give something big, give some time, or recycle something you no longer need but have been holding on to far too long.

Charities really hurt during economically tough and disastrous times. Find one you believe in and say a great big thank you for what you have in your life, while you give in order to make someone else’s life that little bit more tolerable.

Feeds the soul and feels good. With love, The Burnout Queens

“Should’a…could’a…would’a!” Don’t waste your precious energy regretting past decisions. It’s easy to get caught up in the “I shouldn’t have” trap, but what’s the use…you did!

So if your mind chatter is all about, “You shouldn’t have bought the new car, shouldn’t have taken that holiday, shouldn’t have left your job, shouldn’t have bought the new boots”…well, move on! It’s done and over. No sense losing sleep regretting. That kind of stress just keeps you stuck.

Ask yourself, “Would I make a different decision tomorrow given the same circumstances?” If the answer is, “YES” identify what decision you might make today and keep it in your bag of tricks for next time. If the answer is “NO”, enjoy and stop the senseless worrying.
