Right, so, the jar of change is filling nicely (suggestions for charity gladly accepted) and a cup of tea is sitting in front of me while I consolidate myself for the busy week ahead. This might be my last chance to sit down and I am savoring it, my next 7 days are jam packed, 2 jobs, 3 kids, a zoo of high maintenance animals, house, husband and a job interview is the stress filled icing on the cake. Yikes, yikes and one more for good measure….yikes.
My week is probably pretty similar to plenty of yours because we are a generation of nutters…….super busy, super stressed, trying to do everything, be everything but just ending up being really frazzled. How did it happen anyway? Who's idea was it to over achieve and become a mouse on a wheel. Who exactly are we all trying to please? My mind is too full to even begin to think too deeply on this one, but I am sure of something, it needs to change. Not just for me either, but for you and you and yip, you over there too. I have your back, do you have mine?.
Ok so, all together we are going to start right here, we are all (let's call ourselves the Had it up to here Nation) going to say "No". Now this might be hard at first because our mouths aren't used to uttering such a decisive word but it will get easier the more you do it. Now, all together…."NO!!" Add swear words, lot's of swear words, whatever works for you ("NO you mother f#*#*er" works for me). Ok great, so next time someone says "Would you mind……" just say no (without the exclamation mark and add ons) a simple no, with a smile, yes. An explanation. No.
Now go forward in your forthrightness; delegate, cancel, decline and have a cup of tea for goodness sake before you do yourself an injury. Change #5….The Had it up to here Nation.
