Levenswet 7 (de sturingswet)
Het leven wordt bestuurd (gemanaged), niet genezen.
Jouw strategie:
Zorg dat u uw leven zelf
bestuurt, en dat u dat ook zo houdt. Het is een lange rit en elke dag zit u aan
het stuur.
(over uw verwachtingspatronen)
Eenvoudig: er is geen dag
zonder problemen of uitdagingen.
Als je deze levenswet
accepteert, bent je niet meer zo snel geneigd elk probleem als een crisis te
zien, of te concluderen dat jouw leven slecht is, of dat jij je leven slecht in de hand hebt.
Je hoeft die
beoordelingsfout niet meer te maken.
Niet zozeer de
omstandigheden, maar het doorkruisen van
je verwachtingspatroon brengt je van je stuk.
Als je nooit problemen verwacht (m.a.w. je laat je rijden en stuurt zelf niet), zul je er sterk emotioneel op reageren.
Wees niet naïef maar realistisch.
Je kunt het je niet veroorloven om de passagier te zijn in jouw leven. Je kunt daar niet zomaar zitten en zeggen 'Jezus, ik kan niet geloven dat dit me overkomt.'
Jij zit altijd aan het stuur, niet soms maar altijd.
Sommige mensen slapen achter het stuur,
maar deze wet vertelt je dat dit geen goed idee is.
maar deze wet vertelt je dat dit geen goed idee is.
Deze wet is een lastige, daarom laat ik het hier bij voor vandaag.

Sleepy in the States: One in 20 admit to falling asleep at the wheel
Americans are not getting enough sleep and the effects can be fatal, according to a survey.
Around one in 20 participants admitted they had dozed off while driving at least once in a month and more than a third said they had fallen asleep at least once in a day over that time period.
Drowsy driving has been responsible for an estimated 1,550 fatalities and 40,000 non-fatal injuries annually in the U.S.

Dangerous: This driver was captured on his own car 'drivecam' falling asleep at the wheel
The surveys conducted by the Behaviour Risk Factor Surveillance System asked 74,571 people in 12 states.
Participants aged between 25 and 34 were more likely to fall asleep at the wheel than those aged 65 and over.
Those who work shifts, particularly night shifts or extended shifts, were also at risk.

Accident: He drifted off for just a few seconds but the force of the car hitting the road barrier propelled him into the back seat
The results varied significantly between states. Those surveyed in Hawaii and Texas were more likely to fall asleep while driving than those in Illinois.
'I'm not sure that people understand the biology of all this,' Dr Allan Pack, director of the Center for Sleep at University of Pennsylvania, told ABC News.
'I think people believe that if they cut back on their sleep there is no real consequence. Everyone knows the dangers of alcohol, but I don't think people understand the dangers of drowsy driving.'
He also warned that the figurers for drowsy driving related crashes were most likely inaccurate.
'This is probably just the tip of the iceberg,' he said. 'It's probably not reported accurately because a number of states don't even having a "falling asleep while driving" tick in the box when reporting a car crash.'
Around 50million to 70million U.S. adults suffer chronic sleep disorders, according to the report.
Of the nearly 75,000 participants surveyed in 12 states from the first report, 35 per cent of them said they slept less than seven hours a day.
Nearly half reported they snored.
People who have less than seven hours sleep a night are more likely to have difficulty concentrating, remembering, working on hobbies and taking care of their finances, it noted.
The survey comes after it was revealed a shocking one in five drivers claim to surf the web while behind the wheel.
A survey of 912 drivers, conducted last November, found 19 per cent of those asked admitted using their mobile phones to access the internet while driving a car.
