Healthy Reflection.

Here's another instalment from one of my frequently visited websites SparkPeople.com

Are You Taking Life Too Seriously?

When was the last time your doctor told you to stay home and watch "Seinfeld"? Or suggested a night out at the circus? Or told you to play fetch with a dog? It probably hasn't happened, but the day may not be far off. Laughter and fun are great ways to break down the walls of stress, preventing both mental and physical damage. Play time loosens up joints constricted by tension and poor posture. It brightens your attitude and is a healthy outlet for the most troubled thoughts. Even during our time off, it seems like we still spend a lot of time working--as a handyman, chauffer, mechanic, negotiator, therapist, cook, activist, or whatever is called for. Next time you're starting to feel the strain, think about how long it's been since you just played for the fun of it. It might be longer than you think. Then go buy yourself a toy.

So, if they say we spend our off time being a therapist, activist and negotiator then I'm screwed because I do that at work too! :/ I just take things in stride. I sometimes think people *coughmysupervisorcough* resent me because I treat every "crisis" with smooth confidence and I rarely, if ever, crumble under pressure. I can't help it! That's how I roll. Because, as I always say, life is too short to take it so seriously and you can't live a good life unless you laugh...at almost everything!! To celebrate that philosophy I took today off! I am going to enjoy a "Mental Health Day". Carpe Diem!
