Or, it can be much more insidious - like a slow leak from an air mattress. Soon that soft landing is no more. You plunk down and you hit hard.<br /><br />In case people are wondering, here is a list of some of the physical symptoms of stress - http://auntiestress.com/2013/04/05/physical-cliff/. Then there's the emotional, mental and spiritual effects, which I've also written about on my blog.<br /><br />The "auntie-dote" includes all your a-ha's, which will help your heart rate variability (HRV) - the way in which the heart sends signals to the brain. Those signals then triger the flight/fight response or balance and perform.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Marianna<br />P.S. I was thrilled to see your signing off for the weekend tweet.

That's what stress does and sometimes you just have to take a step back and realize it. Be good to yourself. We'll all be here ready to read the book whenever it's ready for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-55504038043837299452013-05-14T13:15:01.007-04:002013-05-14T13:15:01.007-04:00You get to stand tall with the first one done and ...You get to stand tall with the first one done and in your hands, accomplished.

T...Ah, I see why you made the comment that you did.<br />The four burners idea makes perfect sense but it's a hard choice. If you work you can't turn that one off, and you can't really stop taking care of your health, so family and friends suffer. And all of your burners can't be on 'high' either. <br />RAGuy is right. You worked so hard to write the book you deserve to bask for a while and appreciate your accomplishment - in fact all of your accomplishments. You're a dynamo.Annettehttp://yourgoldwatch.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12707009.post-86393860546803070912013-05-13T12:21:52.854-04:002013-05-13T12:21:52.854-04:00I bought book one the day it came out, and still h...I bought book one the day it came out, and still have not even come close to being even halfway through...I've been too busy (not good for my disease state either!). My point is, please remember that those of us on the receiving end of your wonderful book have not had time to digest all the information, and there is NO RUSH to get another out. The first is so chock full of information. Too much too soon and our heads might explode! :)<br />So take it easy and take your time.
