My favourite tip in this post was “relying on the kindness of friends” – for me, it's always the support of the people who are most loving in my life that makes the most difference.

Great post, Glen

Some days are like that…”even in Australia”. And along the lines of “take the day off” I live by the rule that I can start a day over again at any time. Even if it means going back to bed and getting up again. :)

By “living in our head” I mean that our experience of the world – that is, how we see various situations, circumstances and events, how we allow those things to affect us, what they mean to us and how we react to it all – is individual, unique and self-determined. Which is why we can see two people going through what appears to be the same experience at the same time (some might erroneously say, the same reality) – a very similar court case for example – yet they are both impacted in totally different ways. One learns a valuable life-lesson, grows emotionally, becomes more aware, compassionate and enlightened, while the other suffers from extreme physical, emotional and psychological stress – all self-created by the way (situations don’t create stress, people do) – loses confidence, becomes angry and bitter and slides into a depressive state for a period of time. Why? Because the two individuals weren’t actually going through the same “experience” at all; they were each creating their own experience. One positive. One negative.

Totally! It's just like how we need to let our muscles rest, relax and repair itself before we try to take on another bout of exercise. Else it's just going to tear and things will get ugly.

WOW.

This reminds me of a not-so-funny, funny story. In my interview for my current job, the supervisor created a “pretend' scenerio in which multiple deadlines were fast approaching, all involving the printer, and it breaks down while the phones are being services, etc etc. A complete never-gone-happen bogus story to determine my problem solving techniques…..it happened. I had four deadlines in one day, all requiring massive print jobs and the large printer failed while the phones were down…it was just awful. AND, I couldn't seem to find a flash drive anywhere to just take the files to Kinkos… :( Great advice!

Thanks Celes! Actually, #6 is my favorite ;) At least putting things off for
a few hours is a great way to mellow a bit before getting back on the horse.
