Homeopathy For Women Today

Hello everyone

In my last post, we saw how women build up high levels of stress in the quest for “superwoman”-dom.  Today’s post, although not directly related to health, shows how we can manage stress by taking small steps.  I hope this will inspire you to apply this idea to your life.

To your best health!

Set Realistic Goals

by Mac Anderson

For all of us there are times when we’re overwhelmed. There is too much to do, and too little time to do it! This, of course, causes stress; and we all know…stress is not good!  When I was a freshman in college I learned an unforgettable lesson.

I was having a rough week when there was a lot to do and very little time to do it. I was overwhelmed. I panicked. That night a friend stopped by my dorm room. When I told him my problem, he said, “Mac, I’ll share something with you that my grandmother told me a few years ago. She said to always remember: ‘Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.’” 

I said, “Bob, here I am drowning in work and your lifeline is a quote from your grandmother. Come on!” After he left, however, those twelve little words kept dancing in my head.

I took out a piece of notebook paper and listed all the things I had to do in the next three days. That night I began knocking them off one by one. Three days later I took out that paper and marked through the last thing on the list. It felt great! And then I took out another piece of paper and wrote down the words: “Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.” I then folded the paper and put it in my wallet. As many of you know, I’ve been collecting quotes ever since.
