I’ve learnt a new word
See if you can guess what it means
— Panacea —
^^^ Great word that
Funny how I can get into my fifth decade on this earth
and still not have heard of this word
Especially when it perfectly sums up what I talk about
a lot
Now before I tell you what it means (you’ve already
googled it haven’t you) 😉
I just want you to think about this for a moment
Have you ever done one of the following to solve a
problem:
– Moved city
– Changed jobs
– Joined a gym
– Moved House
– Bought a new car
– Bought some new clothes
– Drank beer
– Ate a pizza and a tub of ice cream
– Ended a relationship
We’ve all done something along these lines to deal with
our problems
And we sometimes think that no-one else will understand
Cos we are the only ones that have these problems
(which is obviously untrue but difficult to see at the
time)
And guess what
This ISN’T a new thing
It has NOTHING to do with this being the 21st Century
These sorts of problems have been around FOREVER
Yet we still think we can solve them by changing ONE
thing
An all encompassing solution that will make EVERYTHING
better
Which is summed up in this word
Panacea
This is a word derived from Greek routes via latin
So it’s been around for a LONG time
Just like all of these problems that we think only
happen to us
When the solution is staring us right in the face
Cos moving house, changing job, buying something to
make us feel better
This solves nothing unless we get happy with who we are
Ever heard the expression
‘Wherever you go, there you are’
If you get pissed off with your colleagues at work and
then take it out on your family at home
Changing jobs isn’t gonna solve anything is it
Cos there will be annoying colleagues in ANY job
Moving house isn’t gonna solve the problem and will
probably just add to the stress
And you’re certainly not gonna ditch your family to
save them from your tantrums (and then blame it on your
colleagues)
See the problem isn’t everyone else
It’s us
And the sooner we realise that the sooner we can sort
ourselves out
Which will solve everything else
^^^ A true panacea
Now we know that when you’re out of shape this
exacerbates problems
Because you feel tired and stressed out all the time
You lack energy
And when your energy is low you make poor decisions
Now I’m not saying getting in shape will solve
everything for you
But it will certainly help you feel better about
yourself
And therefore make you more confident and less reactive
Which is why I’m opening up the live BKS sessions again
