Gas & Saws

Hi, this is Brian with another mini chapter from a Philosopher's notes. This one's called Gas and are you too busy to take care of yourself? If you said yes or even had to think about it for a bit, um, well, that's kind of like saying you're too busy driving to stop for gas. Makes no sense. And whether you want to stop for gas or not, drive long enough and you'll need to. Same thing with life. If we ignore our emotional or physical fuel gauge it. Just keep driving and driving and driving. Sooner or later we're going to run out of gas. And rather than the annoying and embarrassing call for help and or walk to the gas station, we find ourselves laid out in bed and. Or in the hospital or worse. If you think you're too busy to take care of yourself, you really need to take care of yourself. Whether that's developing a regular meditation practice, going to the gym five times a week, getting. Getting a massage once a week, or reading in the bath more often. We all need to fill up. So quit being a martyr. Say no to some of the stuff that just isn't really that important and take care of yourself. And one more thing. Have you ever heard of the story about the guy who runs into another guy who's sawing down a tree? He's watching the guy work and work and work, and he's like, hey dude, you might want to sharpen that saw. I think it'll make everything a lot easier. The other guy says, no way, man. I'm way too busy to slow down long enough to sharpen this thing. Don't be that silly sawing guy. Pretty please, gas and saws. We've got to take care of ourselves. Hope you enjoyed this one. Look forward to sharing more with you soon. Have an awesome day. See you.
