Stressed out

How do you handle stress?  My doctor once told me that I didn’t handle stress well.  She’s right.  Most of the time when I have to much going on and to many demands on me, I want to just abandon everything.  I used to go to a private area and cry for about ten minutes, but I have stopped doing that.  It never worked anyway. 

So, what to do?  I usually just take a few breaths to try to calm myself down.  I tell myself to stop over-reacting and just take a minute to do something unrelated to the thing that is causing me stress.  Sometimes, I eat sweets (definitely not the best solution for me).

Anyway, it’s a work in process.  I’m still trying to figure out how to become that calm, cool, and collected person that I would like to be.  It’s right up there on my list to become extremely smart and successful. 

Talk to you all soon……..

Don’t sweat the small stuff

This week I have been thinking about this saying. I have just realized that there is also a book based on this saying/theory. I have been trying to practice doing this during the week. There seems as if there is so much going on that I am just trying to concentrate on one thing at a time and don’t let the little things overwhelm me. I’m sure there will be huge hiccups in life that I will have to concentrate on more!
