Feeling overwhelmed?
Stressed, anxious, worried, tense, overwhelmed, working harder than ever – sound familiar?
One of my favourite stories is told by Stephen Covey in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. It’s based on a story by Arthur Gordon entitled “The Turn of the Tide”.
Arthur recalls a time when he was experiencing deep frustration at work and many challenges in life.
Finally, he went to see a Doctor who told him to spend the following day in the place where he’d been happiest as a child. Then, he gave Arthur four prescriptions in sealed envelopes, to be opened at 9, 12, 3 and 6 o’clock the next day.
As day dawned, off he went to his favourite beach.
At 9 – “๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ” – he heard the birds and sound of the sea.
By 12 – “๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ค” – happy memories came flooding back.
Then at 3 – “๐๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ” – he discovers he was focused too much on himself.
Finally at 6 – “๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐” – he did, knowing that the waves would soon wash them away.
This prescription works for everyone..
Make those internal adjustments now.
Why not apply this remedy for yourself today?
