Rocks, Pebbles, Sand & Beer

Are you focusing on the pebbles and sand in your life, or the big rocks?

Do you know the difference?

Life is full of big rocks...big events that must be done. The pebbles and sand represent all the little things that can be distractions or the things we need to do in order to complete a Big Rock.

I am reminded of an analogy given by a university professor. RocksPebbles and Sand

My question to you is, "Have you allowed all the pebbles and sand to keep you from your main "big rock", you? Are you allowing all the unimportant things in your life to get in the way of taking care of yourself?"

What is the main thing in your life that is the most important to you? Take that one thing and focus on it. When you focus on improving yourself ... not in a selfish way, but so you can be a better you and more able to help others, your life will be full of purpose and meaning.

Are you one of those people who is busy running around serving others, too busy to do anything for yourself? No time for exercise; no time for meditation; no time for just sitting and reading a good book? If this is you, how effective are you?

If this is you, I understand because I was there once.

So, what are you doing about your "rocks"?

Send me your questions and comments and I will answer them in my next blog.

What are the major tools you need for YOU?

What is one of your major tools you must have, to have a good day?

Mine is sleep.

I chose to stay out really late on Thursday night, even though I knew I had a very early busy day and night ahead of me.

Friday I felt huge anxiety and overwhelm!

See, I have prayer, meditation and my awesome Products to help me feel great. However when I don't get enough sleep or to much sleep, the black cloud seeps in. Yesterday was a very challenging day on me mentally. All day I had to remind myself that I don't have anxiety and depression anymore.

...That this was just an off day..That this day will pass.

Last night I had some good friends come over. The whole day I wanted to cancel so bad. See I have fear of being around people when I'm in this state. 

I pushed through the feeling and kept my commitment. 

It felt so good to wake up feeling proud I didn't let my gremlins win ( negative self talk )!

All day I said.." This will pass. I have felt like a million bucks for awhile now. This is just a moment because of lack of sleep". I said this all day long. It WAS a very long day!

I encourage you to look at your life. What tools in your tool kit make you feel great and what needs to stay out.

For me, lack of sleep needs to NOT happen in my life.

I know this and moving forward I need to be more aware of what I'm doing that can affect me later. 
Thanks for listening. ;-)

P.S: If you are prone to depression, studies have shown that less than 7 and more than 9 hours of sleep can lead people back to depression at a 46% rate. I proved this yesterday.

Make it a great Day!
