I’m your heart and I want you to think about me as your teammate during life. I only ask that you do your part so that I can work more efficiently for you!
I love you and…
I commit to pump for you every day… all day… year after year without taking a vacation – from your first-beat in the womb to your final-beat at the end of your life.
I will do my best to pump for you although…
- you load me down with extra pounds – sometimes it feels like I’m pulling a truck up a hill.
- you have caused me to be weak because you never take me out for a walk.
- you think that your highly stressful emotions don’t “really” affect me – but they do.
Do you know that when you are anxious, worried, scared, angry or hostile, my beats get faster and irregular? I
beat in overdrive to prepare you for what you think you’re upset about.
So if you…
- see every little problem as a big problem
- let every little annoying thing upset you
- then I never get to rest
- if I never rest, then I can’t repair – and neither can you!
You’re a human and I want you to feel your life. And…I also want you to remember that YOU GET TO CHOOSE HOW YOU REACT to the situations in your life.
Here’s a Coping Strategy For You: ask yourself, “is this just an annoyance that will pass or do I need to commit some emotion to feeling it or figuring it out?”
