Stress, sucks. I know you all know that...and are totally agreeing with me. No matter what I have tried it just comes heaping back on to me.
We have been having "Homework" for work lately. Boss Lady is trying to call it *training* but to me it is homework. We have had to read several books, nothing I would ever choose to read myself, which makes it harder to get through. Well...
The latest book is How to Win Friends and Influence people, and I have barely made it through the 1st 2 chapters, and it is already making me feel like crap. Yes, crap. It is bring out some stark realizations that I don't want to deal with, but have to. So my homework is actually doing something, which is STRESSING ME OUT EVEN MORE than just reading the damn book should.
Look, there are things that I just need to deal with. When I have tried to deal with them before they came back and bit me in the ass. But I am getting to old to be dealing with this kind of shit anymore. So, its time to Man the Fuck Up (as I so often tell others to do) and take care of business. I have to stop this stress before it kills me, I am already watching myself turn into a bitter, mean person. I don't recognize myself anymore. I don't want that. I know I can't remove all stress from my life (I have kids - there is no way in HELL that could ever happen)
Maybe this purge I am planning will help in my *make-over* who knows? I just know that I am a shell of a person, and I don't want to live this way anymore...

Managing stress is always tricky. You're right about it's affects on you and your life. However, don't make this make over so radical that it's counter productive. If you make big changes it automatically follows that you will have the stress of changes. Good luck on your quest to reduce stress. -

Yea, right now I am doing a tight rope walk of balancing stress with change. Some big changes are coming (and needed) but I know once they do come around, I will be in stress overload.
I am thinking of maybe trying to find a way to deal with the existing stress better (I have been trying to get up and do Yoga in the mornings...) before the BIG stuff gets here. Problem is waiting/planning the BIG stuff, is just adding to the load.
I really need to do some serious soul searching (I seem to be doing that a lot lately) Hopefully it all works out for the best!
