I am usually very healthy – rarley do I get sick. I attribute that to alot of hand washing…probably something bordering OCD….and healthy living. This year I added Santoro and Sons to my existing workload, which meant a start up company with all that extra work, worry and stress. I developed some stomach issues and got the absolutely worst cold I have had in many years. Then I get a regular mammogram and they find something unusual – a lymph node that has increased in size. The Dr., asked me what had changed in my life – I said, ‘nothing, I am busy, it is exciting, I have little down time’ and as I was telling her all about it, I realized that maybe what my body was telling me is that it needs a day off every week.
So I have made this committment to myself – Every Thursday morning is my time – and I am going to take one day off per week. PERIOD – I want to achieve many, many things in life so I need my strength, energy and health to be able to carry out my goals. I also will be getting 8 hours of sleep per night – regardless of our schedule.
Having a moment like this puts the most important aspects of life in perspective. My goal is to keep this perspective so that I can build my companies and keep my health strong!
