What's Happening???

Have you ever been in this situation?

Vision darkened. It's a blackout.

Can't even move a finger.

I can feel the water running down my throat, making it's path towards my belly...

I was playing ball with my barkada in an open court near our university. After 2 or 3 sets, I suddenly found myself fighting for my consciousness. Can't really figure out what was happening to me at that time.

Good thing, one of my friends assisted me to the bench. The one of them bought me ice tubig (cold water in a plastic) and gave me a drink. As I sip, it's like tracing my entire digestive system, as water makes its way towards my inner being.


Now, let's try to make things simple...

I realized afterwards that I was in a "Hello dehydration" moment, first time in my life. At that time, I didn't had enough fluids and rest during the game. I was enjoying so much, I didn't care for replenishments. Truly, it's a wrong move.

One of the book summaries I have read and listened to is "How To Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. One of the big ideas there is "Rest BEFORE you get tired". I should have read it before my dehydration experience.

Taking breaks or pauses in our busy day-to-day activities can definitely reduce our fatigue, worries and even increase our productivity whether in work or in social life. We should never wait for exhaustion to take place, as it might be our last breath to take. 

Rest as often as you can. Even machines need it. Just don't abuse, okay? ^_^
