To Do List
Ask yourself, how many things can you possibly do at once and stay 1 sober 2, calm and 3, positive?
I can’t answer for anyone else but myself of course; however, the answer simply is, ‘tons’ with faith.
I can do it all if I have faith. Don’t swat me away yet, let me explain.
Picture this, arms loaded down with paperwork, all of which needs a swift comb through, phone conversation happening by way of technique of jutted chin and shoulder shrugged, big dog, small dog using my leg as a petting post. New house, new shop, lawyer, computer dude, friends, new man, kids, Facebook twitter, new friends old friends, family — LIFE AGH!
Shit gets real, real fast. SO WHY am I doing so much at once!
I love to do things, it’s a family trait, my sister’s worse. The truth is, if I didn’t have a million things to do I would find a million things to do. When you ask, “What are you doing Heather?” I’ll bore you, I love to verbally list all my crap I have loaded on myself.
1. Open new Salon in 3 months, Check
2. Deal with new Salon setbacks, Check
3. Deal with starting BookPressed. And…..hell.
It’s a lot. Life happens fast, the next week that was so far away, has become 3 weeks ago. I used to wonder why people asked me to do so much, can’t they see how busy I am? Then I realized – it’s because I say, yes!
I’m trying to live life to the fullest, cram all the experiences I can in. Is it so wrong to want to do so much?
Yes…IF it makes you moody and sick. And it was starting to with me.
Did you know stress causes cancer? All kinds of crap, hair loss, skin rashes, bad breath. I’m not positive on the breath thing I just know I don’t brush when I’m freaked out and busy- don’t judge- you probably don’t bathe Ew.
So, my new thoughts are these. If I say, ‘yes’ it’s because I’m okay with the stress.
I’m here to tell you, you are as young as you’ll ever be, right this second, make it count. Take on the world, have good stress. But, get rid of the crap, all of it. A job, a partner who isn’t. Make the right plans, the pull your hair out plans, the take a risk plan. And have the faith you can do it all.
Have Faith –
Take on the fun stress the, “I can do it” stress. Have a healthy realization that you can do Anything…you just can’t do Everything!
Do what you can while you can. Our backs are hurting, hands are getting swollen, eyes dimmer. You get it – But while YOU are doing these things, these busy oh my god why am I doing so many things. Realize, you are doing it because YOU wanted to do these things, you can say, ‘NO’ when you want. Don’t’ blame others for your, ‘YESES’.
So be happy with your stress, I can guarantee you’ll have thicker hair!
