Books that shaped me #2 Ordering Your Private World by Gordon MacDonald

Before the best selling The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Marc Cromer there was this book in the 1980s : Ordering Your Private World. It was so helpful in terms of leading from a place of rest, tending your inner garden, planning and budgeting time, looking ahead, dealing with hurry sickness, reading, time for family - mostly things we know but sometimes it helps when someone else tells us! The authors description of Life Change Units is still relevant today - death of a spouse is 100 units, loosing a job 47 units, gaining a new family member 39 and Christmas 12 units! All of these (and more) create stress and the accumilation of stress can have a detrimental affect upon health. And...saying no...can be very helpful...
