sharpen the saw “This log must be hard wood. I’ve been sawing it for hours.o:p> I’m getting very tired and feeling dizzy”. “Your sawing would be faster if your saw was not so blunt”. “I’ll sharpen it when done and not so busy”. “My car is going slowly. It fumes and shakes and jolts. The engine oil is low and full of grime”. “Your car would be faster if you stopped and serviced it”. “Oh yes I’ll do that when I have the time”. “I’m always out at meetings or travelling far for sales. My children think I live right out of town”. “Your family would be happier if you spent more time at home”. “I’ll stay home when the selling pressure’s down”. “I’m dashing through my life climbing the ladder of success. I start at dawn and finish when I drop”. “You would be much more fitter with daily exercise”. “I’ll take time off when I make it to the top”. So when your saw is log-jammed and your car is broken down, You are divorced and had two heart attacks, You may then get the message that self service is the go For death is nature’s way to get you back. |

the doctor's thoughts ......... Rest and renewal are vital for feeling good. I see many patients who wouldn’t dream of running their car for a year without putting it in for a service, yet they will drive their bodies and minds relentlessly for years on end without time out to recharge the batteries. Is it little wonder they eventually break down and stop functioning efficiently, sometimes even shortening their lives. One wonderful way to stay feeling good is to embrace the habit of taking time for rest and renewal. Don't accumulate holidays from year to year but put them into your dairy well in advance and spend time and effort to plan something special for you and your partner and family. Make time to go away for weekends, away from work, away from the always-waiting domestic chores and duties. Make time for the occasional evening when you are not entertaining or visiting, evenings just for you. Consider these outings your body's servicing times. Just as your car will run more efficiently and economically with regular servicing, so will you.
