A sudden STOP!

Activity going at 100mph, the to do list, the action plan, full diary then suddenly, STOP!
Stop, really stop. Not for a rest, a weekend break, but STOP!
For the record, excruciating pain, unable to do anything.
Hold on, this is not in the plan. This is not how it’s supposed to play out.
Then comes the reminder that, guess what, you are not invincible. That’s a tough one to take. The daily vitamin, the five a day and the regular walks are not enough. Your health, the bigger picture, maybe God or the universe - they are driving this, not you.
STOP!
Business cancelled, training postponed, meetings and events parked. There is no choice. Makes you think, makes you grateful for clients who get it, friends who check in and people who care.
Once the pain is under control it’s time to call in the experts, to listen to them and take their advice. The lady who pops bones back into place, the man who puts needles in places that will ease the pain, and your Mum, who really does know best. The knowledge, wisdom and skills of the experts together with time will bring the healing.
Mind over matter might be a thing, challenges and goals a must. But time really is a great healer and this requires patience.
Lessons learned:
I’m not invincible - I need trusted people around me!
Trust the experts – they know best!
Build in time to look after me!
Analogy for business:
You’re not invincible - you need trusted people around you!
