Stress & Chaos ~ Do We Secretly Like It?
Did you ever have one of ‘those’ days? Well I did yesterday. I was very full of myself and I’d had enough so I walked into my Broker’s office and asked if he had a couple of minutes for a a counseling session. He looked me dead in the eyes and said “You are your own worst enemy and I think you like the way things are right now.“ I’ve got to tell you. I was on the verge of livid! He took the time to listen to my thoughts and gave me a few more thoughtful & helpful observations and ended as he ALWAYS does by saying “Now Go Sell Something!“.
I left his office and was still pretty mad about him thinking I like the way things wind up when they’re stressful & chaotic and seemingly out of control. I could NOT, however, totally dismiss the statement as the situation has been the same for longer than I’ll admit here. So here’s what I learned:
- The situation will never improve with the same thinking that actually created it.
- Circumstances that are difficult are NEVER an excuse for lack of action.
- When the pain or consequence of the circumstance is bad enough, change WILL occur!
So the question for all of us who find ourselves in difficulty is “Do we secretly like where we’re at?”. If we truly don’t we’ll think and act accordingly.

Hurricane Irene ~ The Aftermath
WOW! What a week it’s been. First an earthquake and then Hurricane Irene. While the small town I live in was spared the brunt of her fury, I am sure that others who live more to the east in the metro-DC area were not as fortunate. As the clean-up begins in earnest, those affected by the storm should be cognizant of mold issues that may occur as a result of flooding from the storm. Here are some great tips from Fairfax County Emergency Information.
To protect against health risks associated with mold:
- Remove standing water from your home or office.
- Remove wet materials.
- If mold growth has already occurred, carefully remove or clean the moldy material.
- Consider using personal protective equipment when cleaning or removing mold including gloves, goggles and an N-95 particle respirator (found at most local hardware stores). Check with a health care provider before wearing a respirator. Do not use a respirator if you have heart disease or chronic lung disease such as asthma or emphysema.
- Individuals with known mold allergies or asthma should not clean or remove moldy materials.
- Be sure not to mix cleaners and disinfectants, as hazardous gases may produce hazardous chemical reactions. You should ALWAYS read and follow label instructions carefully. Don’t forget to open windows and doors to provide plenty of fresh air.
