Question

orrible, physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself “I know I have limits

and that I’ve

reached them, but I’m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get by

with it.” I ran

to doctors, trying to make myself feel better through pills, vitamins, natural stuff

and anything

I could get my hands on. Some of the doctors would tell me, “It’s just stress.”

That just

made me mad. I thought stress meant you don’t like what you do or can’t handle

life, and I

love what I do. But I kept pushing myself, traveling, doing speaking engagements

and so

on— simply exhausting myself.

Finally, I understood I was living an unsustainable life and needed to make some

changes in

my outlook and lifestyle.

You and I don’t have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each

of us needs

to be exactly the way we are, and we don’t have to apologize for it. We’re not all

alike and

we need to find a comfort zone in which we can enjoy our lives instead of making

ourselves

sick with an overload of stress and pressure.
