Mary’s Minute
“If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home
and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
~ Dale Carnegie
Taking time to just be and to even mediate is
important in order to be reflective. I
also think there is a great value in staying busy. Quiet times are great for reflection and also
sometimes we just need to rest. People
work really hard at their jobs – I understand that working with children is
physically and mentally exhausting.
Being tired and needing to rest is a natural by-product of the great
work you do.
I have found personally that sometimes the best
recipe for my malaise is to get busy. I
realize that we cannot simply “will” ourselves to feel better, but the right
kind of busy can be just what the doctor ordered when our sluggishness is
caused by lack of motivation. The key is
to get busy with a purpose. That kind of
busy, which might even be classified as good stress, can leave us with more
energy than sitting on our couch relaxing.
I think we need to remind ourselves that being
busy and work are not bad things. The
key is to find work that can spark passion.
It is not always easy to know what things will
excite us, so we need to stay open.
I want PC people to take care of themselves,
but I also want you to not afraid to be busy.
The happiest people I know are busy and passionate about what they
do. Being busy allows us to conquer our
fears!
Have a
great week!
Mary
