What’s The Obstacle In Your Path?
 

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many of us never understand: Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

How To Worry Less
 

If you're one of those people who worries a lot about work and has high anxiety about displeasing people in charge of you, then you might want to put all that negative thinking to good use. What is the worst thing that could happen if you displeased your boss? Could it really be all that bad?

For instance, if your boss yelled at you at work in front of all your peers, would it annihilate you? It might humiliate you, but remember, you're in charge of how you feel and though your initial reaction would probably veer toward shame and embarrassment, you'd probably get through the experience unscathed.

But what if you get fired, your mind might be saying. Well, first ask yourself how likely it is that this would happen. It's probably pretty unlikely that you would get fired for inadvertently displeasing your boss. But if you did, you could possibly find another job you liked better.

Trying to imagine the worst-case scenario should help you get in tune with whether you are slipping into irrational thinking. Discovering that you are thinking irrationally is the first step in stopping something that robs you of the focus and energy you need to work in top form.

If Dogs Were Our Teachers…
 

If dogs were our teachers we might learn…

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride – allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it's in your best interest, practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory. Take naps, and stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm; stop when you have had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
 
Are You Taking Time For Yourself?
 

Finding time for yourself is vital. It's uplifting. It helps you emotionally. Studies have shown that spending too much time with others and not enough time alone can actually make you depressed and irritable. When you get swept up in the momentum of the daily grind, stand back, pull out a journal and write about the things that matter to you. Try listing your favorite seven places and then figuring out why they're your favorites.

It's not wrong to be social, but it's not bad to enjoy your own solitude from time to time. Researchers at the University of Florida at Gainesville discovered that people who take solo vacations feel a greater deal of freedom. And though 77% of women in a poll said they never dine out alone, there were a few who noted its advantages. Said one lone diner: “Now I find it relaxing. I don't have to make conversation. It's like a mini-vacation where I can just think about me.”
