Are You Missing This Short Cut On How To Avoid Procrastination In Your Relationship?
by Empty Your Cup Relaxation Coach · Filed Under: Stress and your Relationship
You keep on putting things off, saying, “It’s going to be stressful. I don’t want to deal with it.”I teach relaxation in the hospital by their bedside. When I talk to them, they say, “Man, I never thought I would be in here. I never thought to slow down.”
The myth is if you keep on going, going, going all the time, you will avoid everything bad and you will get what you want. The myth is that’s not going to happen.
You could end up with a heart attack, stroke or all kinds of health issues because the body can only take so much.
As soon as the body has had enough and you feel tension, you start to see manifestations in the body.
Wayne: Is it hard for a lot of people to realize this until they’re actually lying in a hospital bed?
Cecil: Yes. I know this from my experience. I’m also a product of it because when I came to Canada, I got my degree from a university. I actually had forsaken everything my grandmother and the people in Barbados taught me for the almighty dollar.
Wayne: What was the difference between your teachings in Barbados and in Canada?
Cecil: Here in Canada, after I went to the university, I became consumed with the idea that you have to go after the almighty dollar. You have to make the big bucks. For me, it was work and money. Nothing else really mattered. That’s not what I was taught in Barbados.
Wayne: What were you taught there?
Cecil: I was taught that you need to live a balanced life. Money was not the be all and end all. Work was not the be all and end all. You need to have a balanced situation.
I went to two extremes. One was work and the other one was seeking the money. I did make the money. I got everything I wanted. Then I went bankrupt and I got divorced. That’s when I spun around and reverted to what my grandmother taught me.
I’m actually a product of the process. This is what I’ve experienced personally.
