Stress
The month of April is Stress Awareness month. We should all be aware of our stress levels all the time, but sometimes it is extremely hard to keep it underwraps, especially when you have piles and piles of crap mounting and no idea how to handle it. Work, school, kids, relationship, home, life - all triggers in various ways. How do you handle your stress? How do you execute keeping yourself from a complete break down? Here are a few of the ways I handle stress and also de-stress so that I can keep going in as healthy a manner as I can.
- I take time alone with no one at all around where I do things I enjoy, such as watching a movie or TV show I love, scrapbooking, reading a good book, writing, slip my earbuds in and listen to music. Simple things - things that help me to just chill.
- Spend time with my kids. Sometimes just looking into their faces can remind you that life is much better than it feels at the moment.
- Going to a coffee shop and having a drink with a close friend that doesn’t demand you to be the only listener the whole time - that will allow you to vent when you need to.
- Call and talk to my grandma - she is so much fun to talk to and loves and supports me literally no matter what I say or do.
- Take a drive with a friend that makes me laugh or I go alone.
