Peer Pressure

 

Peer Pressure

 

There have been so many times in my life, that

As a mature older woman ,I have experienced this kind of

pressure.

Or, really maybe more like an outside influence.

Sometimes it may be people, other times it

can just be all the appointments on your schedule.

 

You know those seasons in your life where there are

so many changes going on, you sometimes can

be pressed into doing things that are putting

a greater discomfort on your well being.

 

For me it is usually keeping me up past my bedtime!

Really...

This girl needs her sleep!!

 

Sometimes just having to miss a meal, while

out shopping, and your routine is now hijacked

can allow your world to spin out of control;

Just because you missed a meal?

Or only 1/2 the amount of sleep needed?

 

It's all little dramatic, well it's my blog!

 

When we first start to feel this pull,

we rationalize and say,

Oh, have fun it's only this or this or this!

 

The truth is THIS;

When I get really out of sync,

My body suffers!

 

My Hubby gets less of me because I am feeling tired.

If I am gone all the time, my home looks a wee bit neglected.

 

I  must learn to navigate and to hear what

my body is saying!

 

Really the strain of doing and going on "sure will power",

can and will wear a girl out!

 

Now, don't get me wrong here;

We all need to push and persevere!

We have our homes to manage!

But at what cost to our health?

 

This girl loves here sweet sleep!

And

I function better on a full tummy!

 

What are some of the things that come at you that

might feel like peer pressure to YOU?

 

P.S.

You should never put your tongue on a metal pole

in WINTER!

No matter the peer pressure you may be feeling!

 

Or, you may have to call the Fire Department!
