Somewhere out there, there is
probably a band named Emergency Third Rail Power Trip. If there isn’t, there should be. (Why, yes, I do have a problem with
reading signs and giving them different interpretations than they were intended
to have…) Furthermore, we should
all also find our own emergency third rail power trips.
We all have emergencies. Some are real (sudden illness, natural
disaster) and some less so (A zit! Right there! On my face!), but all of them cause stress. The point of an emergency third rail
power trip is to remove the power supply from that stress so it fizzles and
dissolves instead of sending its little cortisol messengers out to encourage us
to flip out.
Let’s have a little disaster
preparedness seminar with ourselves and figure out what we can do to unplug the
stress. Maybe it is breathing
practice. Maybe it is hard cardio
work. Maybe it is hugs. Whatever it is, let’s figure it out before
the emergency comes so we can stop the madness. It will keep us healthier.
