Life isn't an Emergency

In Carlson's book (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and It's all small stuff), he advices his readers to repeat to themselves that life isn't an emergency! Sometimes as human beings we create our own emergencies. We add pressure and deadlines to our lives that are extremely unnecessary. It's advised that we learn to cut ourselves some slack. I know that I need to start doing this because when I don't I tend to become tired and frustrated all the time. Carlson reminds his readers to be able to admit that not everything is an emergency.

I've noticed that when I get too caught up in my work and worries I forget to make time for my friends and the people who are important to me. I ignore the way I am feeling and lose sleep over my "emergencies". I think it's time to prioritize and figure out what's really important and meaningful to me.
