STRESS IS A KILLER

Many people are under a great deal of stress. Even for myself this whole month has been a zoo. I feel pulled in a million different directions. I've had minimal time for myself or any of the people I love the most. I've been racing everywhere trying to keep up with my demanding schedule and I feel the burden of my Do To List physically running me down. How long will it last. For many people it's years and years! Not good. It is extemely unhealthy for the body to undergo constant strain. It will eventually lead to burn out, relationship problems or other serious health issues. We don't want that.

Here's what happens when you're under stress.

Signs of Stress
Inability to concentrate
Hard to listen to someone
Mind is racing
Thoughts are scattered
Breathing is quick and Shallow
neck is tight
Body aches
Posture is weak
Feel Anxious
Exhausted and sleepy

Reasons for Burn Out
When you are engaged in activities that aren't in line with those you find fulfilling and meaningful. The work drains your energy.
Allowing others expectations to determine how you spend your time.
Overlooking the importance of rest, restore, relax, and rejuvenate
Feeling overwhelmed and weighed down with burdens.
Failing to take care of yourself.
Adding more responsibility to your plate without elminating something.
Forgetting about your gratitude list.
Overlooking the importance of humour.
Getting stuck in a rut.
Forgetting about your passions.

Ways to Avoid Stress and Burn Out
List your Top 5 Values(What's most important to you about life) Make all your decisions align with that list.
Live your own life- Set boundaries-recognize the expectations of others. Decide for yourself what you'd like to do. It would be nice if everyone approved of everything you did but it's certainly not a requirement.
Slow down-Arrange things so you can have a reasonable amount of quiet everyday.
Find your hobbies and your passions and engage in them on regular basis.

The greater the demands on us the more we need to sustain our inner cool and calm. Find that quiet space today. Be completely honest with yourself about what is going on.You owe it to yourself and the people who love you.

If life has hijacked you it's time to pull in the reigns and get back on track, Today.The future is promised to no one.

love and blessings,
Carrie

Trans Activism

-
What walks like a teen fad and talks like a teen fad...is probably a teen fad. Celebrating trans is a growing trend and something I’m not okay with. But then again, I’m not a doctor set out to make millions off confused teenagers and desperate parents. I’m not big pharma that stands to make billions off these kids and the services including endocrinologists, sexual health physicians, speech pathologists, nurses, social workers, child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychologists. I feel sorry for the parents that must navigate this with their teenagers. As if raising kids isn’t hard enough. Am I the only one?  In Abigail Shrier’s book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our daughters she alerts us to the newest trend in internet support groups that indoctrinate young girls into believing gender identity as the root of all their problems.  If Shrier is right, a great many people have been complicit in practices that are proving very harmful to adolescent girls.

Exploring Climate Change

-
Climate policies must benefit people as well as the environment. Fixating on scary stories about climate change leads us to make poor decisions. One CTV news reporter posted an article recently titled, “Here’s what the era of global boiling means for Canada.” The media outlets have become activists, reinforcing the extreme language against the backdrop of these wildfires. Imposing higher taxes to alter weather patterns is not resonating positively with the public, causing it to become a point of contention. Can we at least admit that it is as much a political issue as it is an environmental one?   Differing perspectives on its causes and consequences spark heated debates worldwide. Right now, there is nothing even close to a consensus on the scope of the problem or the best way to solve it.  Am I the only One?   Greta Thunberg is the poster child for this movement, but I’d like a more credible spokesperson than this.  She is very likely to live a longer, more prosperous life than her

Unveiling the Dark Side of the World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a conference held every year in Davos, Switzerland where leaders around the world meet to address global challenges, share ideas, and promote cooperation on issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and technological advancements. Whether the WEF is seen as good or bad depends on individual perspectives.Opinions may differ based on political ideologies, personal beliefs, and experiences.  Supporters of the WEF argue that it plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue between various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, civil society, and academia. On the other hand, the WEF’s platform has faced criticism and argue that it primarily serves the interest of the wealthy elites and multinational corporations. The annual Davos gathering is predominantly attended by wealthy business leaders, politicians, and influential individuals, creating an exclusive environment that shuts out diverse voices and perspectives. Detractors argue
