Stress! I have found that while I like to think stress doesn’t
really affect my life, I am so wrong. After working in the mental health
profession as a PSR(Psychosocial Rehabilitations) specialist I could recognize
the symptoms of stress. I do in everyone but myself.
I can say that my cup is full and I want to empty the cup
into a stream taking my stress far away. I am glad that this semester’s classes
are starting to slow down. I feel like I
am starting to catch up. My children are adults and I still worry about them. I
have no control over their lives yet I feel for them when they call just to know
that I am there to listen. Just
listening stresses me out. So I have to
decided to compile a list of things that stress me out that I have no control
over and then send it down it stream of stress relief.
- People who drive below the speed limit.
- I cannot run my children’s lives, even though I want to help. I will not stand in there way of success of failure.
- I will do my best and get the grade I earned
- I will not continue to obsess over things I cannot change
- I will look for the positive even when I feel negative
- I will let stress of other peoples, be just that other peoples.
- I will not stress of my daughters pregnancy even thought I love her, I will only think positive thoughts.
- I will love my husband because we are soul mates.
- I will enjoy reading again soon
- I will relax over the holidays and enjoy my family
- I will love my dog the way he loves me, unconditionally
- I will clean house because I like the way I feel when it is clean
Stress and anxiety lead to depression. I know the signs. It is my job to distress and enjoy life. Take care of myself and have fun. Life is
short and stress doesn't have to be everyday life. So, I will be posting my
blog and burning a copy so I can move forward and leave my stress behind. I stress over everything and I have since I was a little girl. My mother used to say that when I'm six fee under I will stress. She is gone to heaven and I am sure she is telling me to let my stress of. So, this is for you mom and me.
Ditto to the stress relief list, except for the daughter and dogs, as I have neither. I try not to stress about things especially the things that are out of my control, but I also try not to stress about the things that are within my control, such as laundry, dishes, clean house, etc. I try to delegate and pretend that I am happy with the results, until the day when I can be picky again. I try to turn a blind eye to my husbands and boys way of doing things and just be happy that we are all healthy, happy and surviving, even when I don't like how they went about their job. Stress who needs it? right?
