"Stop Working More Than 40 Hours a Week" and making staff do it! : Lessons from Sheryl ... - 0 views

  • Stop Working More Than 40 Hours a Week
    • Gary Patton
       
      Much research clearly seems to proves the advice in this article and Sheryl Sandberg's family-oriented practise is wise. I suggest you stop if you also are requiring your staff to do it too! As a "recovering Type 'A' workaholic", I speak from experience because I couldn't work, at all, for over 5 years after the dis-stress on my body, mind, emotions, will, and spirit caused a life-threatening event in my life in 1995. gfp (2012-05-03)

      My problem with Rhoberta's psychology when she points to "understanding" the roots of anger/rage as a route to healing is that it cannot produce freedom from your bondage. (I know this because I knew the emotional and spiritual roots of my rage for the full 25 years that I struggled with my it and that understanding didn't help me one bit. Only knowing "truth" can set you free. Understanding our past pain's roots doesn't produce truth or "freedom" from the pain. Only the truth that Jesus talks about at http://is.gd/NwDqOu can do that. gfp

  • We have to learn to manage incoming anger, too.
  • one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves
  • you may not have any boundaries
  • Anger is healthy. It is natural. It is a gift of perception, experience and biology

    Anger is one of the most powerful emotions and the most challenging one to manage for most people. Some of us can't "manage" it ...at all. At best, some of us can ONLY moderate our reaction to our amygdala's response to our perception of a violation of our so-called rights. That's why Essential #1 is so crucial. (I know because I fought a losing battle with anger/rage for over 25 years until recently when I re-discovered a truth that I had forgotten as a Jesus Follower. Yeh! We're NOT perfect ...just saved as someone said.)

  • Classical music, such as Haydn and Mozart, often improves concentration and memory when played in the background.
  • Jazz, blues, soul or calypso music can uplift and inspire us, releasing deep joy or even deep sadness, conveying wit and affirming our common humanity.
  • Religious and sacred music such as hymns and gospel moves us to feel grounded in the moment, and leads to deep peace and spiritual awareness. Sacred music often helps us to transcend pain.
