Stress

Woman,

We multi-task so much.  If you're like me, its God first, family, job, and what's left after that is the little old me.  I'm passionate about helping people, but it the process of trying to be Superwoman, I realize that I've got to take a break when its usually at my breaking point.  My hours can often consist of 6 am to 2 am the next day. As an Registered Nurse, I understanding that eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting sufficient sleep and rest is essential to keeping a healthy bod, but I have to preach this to myself.  I thank God that I have been graced to have a normal blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, and cholesterol level, but its more to life than normal values vital signs and lab values and I notice a degradation in my mental capacity.

I didn't realize how much I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle, so when I received an invite (melissawadeinthewaterproductions ) to attend a women's night out to a spa to help a friend (http://healingwaterslife.com), the pleasure was actually all mind.  It felt like it look years off of my life conversing with woman from all walks of life and all age, while being pampered with such excellence, not to mention it was a reasonable cost.  My body and mind felt rejuvenated and now I'm focused again.  

Stress can cause so many medical issues, and I'm learning to listen more closely to my body.  Going to the spa can get costly, but I'd rather spend it on 'me' time than on costly medication feeling ill.  Walking in the park listening to Christmas carols, a warm bath with candles and music, a foot rub from your Boo doesn't cost much except time, and that doesn't belong to us anyway.  

Please take some ME time, especially during this season. 

Grace and peace!
