I recently read a friends blog in which she was talking about this artist that she liked, the name of the artist has eluded me, however her song keeps replaying over and over in my head. Not even the entire song, just the chorus. The song is called Keep Breathing. I guess in my life that is what I feel I can do, and do well, keep breathing.
Ever heard of the old saying, "there is always someone else who is worse off than you"? I agree, there is always someone else who has it worse than I do at this very moment in time. Someone has a life that no one would ever want to live, or is going through a situation that no one would ever want to go through. However, at times when you are dealing with things, it doesn't matter what anyone else is going through, you just need to keep breathing and worry about you and your life. So that is what I plan on doing, not worrying about everyone else and their worries, or the impending layoff, or the lack of money, or illnesses, or behaviours that need to be modified, or weight that needs to be lost. I am going to keep breathing!!!
Great Advice! I need to remember that!
ReplyDeleteYes, good advise!!! I feel pressures of getting everything done for the holidays, and I told my husband this Christmas is going to be stressfree! If I don't get the baking done, I'll go out and buy some. If I don't get my Christmas cards sent out ... life will go on. IT is important just to relax and keep breathing, as you said.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole.

ReplyDeleteAnd yes...I completely agree with you. Sometimes knowing other people's situations can't really help you with your day to day life. I think the best way to tackle it is like this:
Yard by yard, life is hard.
Inch by inch life's a cinch.
