What is it in your life that indicates that you have had enough?
You know-
... like enough running around at a breakneck speed...enough spending money that you don't have...enough carting the kids to 101 activities...enough spending hours in the same 10 square feet in your kitchen...enough multi-tasking with a smile on...just enough.
I have two...my weight and my house. If everything has spun out of control then I don't take the time to run like I love to do and the house spirals out of control. I gotta say...my weight is up and my house is a disaster. But the good news is that I recognize these signs. So now I can focus on getting life back in line.
Things are actually starting to get better, but it is hard to tell from looking at my house. (Or my bum.) But it is. I have to pull everything out before purging the unnecessary and then reorganizing what's left. Are you following the metaphor here?
Most times our lives have to explode before we pay attention to the important things.
So figure out your barometer and nip what is truly bothering you in the bud. (When I was a kid, I thought the saying was 'nip it in the butt' very appropriate now.)
Bottom line...take care of yourselves. Even Mother Teresa took one day off a week. Every single week.

For me it's my neck/back... they always tell me when I'm overloaded. If I've "had enough" my back and neck hurt even when I try to rest and relax. I can't trick them into thinking I'm fine...My body just doesn't buy it.
