Stress Factor and Successful Educated Women
It is now becoming a regular occurrence to read articles and to hear from friends that relatively young women are heading homeward bound at the prime of their lives. Women have now taken on life challenges often times alone and the strain, stress and pressure is most likely having its toll on them. Perhaps, these women are suffering in silence. Not enough time is being spent relaxing and de-stressing from the rigors of life.
It was indeed shocking to learn that Lesley Barrow, daughter of former Barbados Prime Minister, Errol W. Barrow, is the latest victim - a progressive, young high achiever at the prime of her life. http://www.cbc.bb/index.pl/article?id=1947531 It's all too soon - we need to stop, walk the beaches, go for the early morning swims, smell the roses and take time out for ourselves.
I would like to encourage everyone on this blog to think about their lives. Make a list of what's really important. Separate the good from the bad. Set out boundaries and priorities. Barbados is a beautiful island with a lot to offer by way of finding things relaxing to pursue, the crystal clear seawater is breath-taking but far too few take the time out of their schedules to enjoy them.
I recently started reading and following a health and wellness blog that got me on track to healthy eating, daily exercises and lifestyle changes that are leading to a better quality of life for me. I would like to recommend it as there's something for everyone. Give it to a woman you love, a friend or even a foe but do share it.
Sincerest condolences to Lesley's brothers and the Barrow and O'Neal families and friends. Eternal Light grant unto her O Lord, let Thy perpetual Light shine upon her - May she rest in peace.
