time for yourself and with friends and family . At times you may feel like your business is running your life .
The stress associated with constantly doing and giving is taking an incredible toll on our bodies , minds , relationships , and our bottom lines . There is a healthier , happier way to do life and I ’ d like to share some proven strategies and powerful practices to show you how .
COSTS OF “ DOING ” MORE THAN “ BEING ”
What happens when we spend the majority of our days doing more than being ?
We have difficulty focusing on our interactions with others as our mind is always racing and thinking about the next thing on our to do list ( affects our relationships at home and at work )
We don ’ t feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day
We sometimes have difficulty sleeping and awaken at night with thoughts of work on our minds
We have difficulty focusing , and may often feel there SO MUCH to do , and SO LITTLE time
Our bodies feel tense and are often in “ flight ”, “ fight ” or “ freeze ” modes . Increased levels of stress hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol over time can lead to weight gain , adrenal fatigue , “ burnout ”, cancer , anxiety attack and autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia .
... you no longer need to constantly work longer and harder to be successful at work and in life .
COSTS OF “ GIVING ” MORE THAN “ RECEIVING ”
What happens if we give more than receive over time ?
We experience low energy
We have less patience with , and tolerance of others
We become more reactive than responsive in our interactions ; for example , rather than being understanding , empathic and asking why someone is upset , we are insensitive and may react angrily
We may become resentful and in some cases feel like a victim ; e . g . “ I ’ m always helping Sue but she ’ s never there for me ”.
