I heard a great thing off one of our members this morning. She heard a doctor say that many people feel “safe” in their houses because they felt they could escape life’s pressures and not have anything demanded off them, so it was an “EASY LIFE”.
The doctor continued, saying that staying in your house all the time only ADDS to pressure in your life. You never go out so you don’t see anyone, we ALL need human connection, human touch, human interaction, it’s what we are put on this earth for and we feel enriched for those interactions.
We need people to make us laugh, occasionally make us cry and we definitely need people to encourage us, support us and understand our problems.
If we don’t do much, then we never build any self-confidence, any self-esteem or ultimately any self-worth. We haven’t got any sense of purpose anymore and although life is somehow “easier”, it can easily become more depressing, less meaningful and every day “becomes the same exactly like the last one”.
Our health suffers because we don’t seem to do much anymore, our mental health declines rapidly and the more we decline invitations to go out, the more people stop asking us to do things.
Before we know it, taking advice off people who “thought they knew best” isn’t so smart after all the doctor continued.
Be careful who you take advice off, those who tell you to stay in all the time, don’t do so much, advise you to never take a chance or take an opportunity, are the REALLY acting in your own best interests?!!!
We all have a fork in he road at times, to follow those who have a go in life or follow those who retreat in life and in many ways give up on themselves with all of the negative implications.
