I’ve often noticed that when I am in an over-functioning mode, there is an interesting outcome as a result – I under-think. Under-thinking about life, our health, and self-care often leads to a state of BURNOUT, fatigue and exhaustion. Pretty typical in most lives these days right?
The reverse can also happen, which is under-functioning. When we are not functioning at the level we were meant to, we start to over-think. As you’ve probably heard, “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. We may start to allow vain imaginations to take over, become judgmental of everything in our lives, & negative thoughts run rampant. Fear often rears its ugly head – about ourselves and life’s challenges. Under-functioning then leads to over-thinking, which leads to PARALYSIS – we just don’t want to do anything!
Are you functioning at an optimal level? Did you have a moment in life when you were at your best physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually?
If you’re at that stage today, please call me to see if counselling would help bring balance back into your life. Call today at 604-889-3635.
