Physician heal thyself

We've all heard the phrase "physician heal thyself" and it is front and center in my life right now. A few days ago I started feeling out of sorts. Nothing major, but living in a bit of a mental twirl. Then, we found out about a great educational opportunity for our kids which, of course, requires some research and planning on our part. It also has to be done before Christmas. Then we had 2 deaths in our extended families. And in the midst of all of this my leg started hurting terribly, feeling like a pinched nerve. Aaaarrrgghhhh!

This morning, my friend and business partner called me. After asking how I was doing and what my plans were for attending the funeral, then listening to my babbling response, she starts out with the dreaded words, "I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it..." You know you won't like what's coming after an opening like that!

After she reminded me of all the things I help people do; make a decision, do what's best for you and your family rather than what other people expect, work from a place of what's right not out of a sense of guilt, ..... She encouraged me to do that for myself - immediately.

I got off the phone, talked to my daughter about our plans, himmed & hawed, and finally made a difficult decision. Amazingly I felt good. My whole body relaxed and the stress drained away. A little while later, miracle of miracles, I could walk all around the house, even do a little happy dance, on the same leg that wouldn't bear my weight when I woke up.

It's all fascinating and I share this story with you as a reminder that we all need a little help sometimes, and we all get off track. So cut yourself some slack, make the tough choices and get back on track. You'll feel world's better when you do.
