Stress less

I drove through Louisville alone this past weekend! Driving still makes me a bit uptight, but the fact that I am doing it at least shows that I fight the anxiety I tend to start feeling. And truthfully once I get going I am comfortable with it and do like to drive.

As for my unrequited crush, I stopped looking through those rose colored glasses you tend to look through when you’re crushing on somebody and realized that the two of us are just to far out different anyway. I don’t stress about having the crush anymore because it’s becoming a little less a crush every day.

as for the little daily worries that didn’t make my list but are constantly nagging, they aren’t so bad that I break out into tears as much anymore. The stress and discomfort I’d felt here has seemed to be a lot less evident lately. I’m not sure what changed, or if anything changed at all. Perhaps both sides of the issues decided to stop putting me in the middle and I’ve become oblivious to the arguments? Or maybe some one noticed their attitude was truly affecting the people around them and is trying harder to lighten up? Or Maybe I’ve isolated myself from it all too well.

So I have no more school classes because i graduated… so life will already be a little less stressful. If I can focus all my time on work, I don’t think it could be too bad so I think I can come close to say that I have accomplished this

Upon returning to work…I need to delegate and not take on too much all at once because it will be overwhelming for me. Even though they had a replacement for me, but I know I have a lot of catching up to do. I’m already behind because I have a new start coming up in two weeks. I just need to remember one day at a time.

argg.

Have got this down to the least possible stress. Drop mum off at the entrance then quietly search for parking space without mum stressing me.There are still opportunities for her to have a pop at me but I just shut off and think of something else.My son is coming with us tonight so it’ll be best behaviour.

STRESS=EVIL

It caused me to gain 40 pounds, my face to be accompanied my horrible red spots and well alot of other unnecessary worries which add on top of it all. ENOUGH IS ENOUGHHHHHHHH.

Well this is a goal I’m having to work hard on.
I’m in a horrid situation at work and often feel close to tears there if even something small goes wrong. I’m also feeling like a target… I’m usually more than able to look after myself but due to a whole host of straw, my back is breaking.
I keep telling myself that change is coming and we get to review things in June. It just seems like a really long time coming.

I’m actively trying to mange the situation and have exercised twice this week, spoken to those I love about things and am trying to do things I enjoy to balance the stress,

It’s hard going though…

I’ve been told by a new friend, and a few new co-workers that I am very laid back. That I don’t let things bother me.I have noticed too that when other people at work are getting really annoyed or upset with something, I just tend to shrug what’s going on off. I don’t know if you can call this “stressing less” or if it’s just laziness.

I worry now that I’m getting lazy! I should add it to my list of stresses. As for that list, yes it’s true I could still go to college. i think the big stress there is the money issues. Everyone says just because you go to college doesn’t mean you’re going to get the job you studied for and you’re still going to have to pay back all those loans eventually. And I think I’m worried about not fitting in, or reliving the high school experience.

Meeting new people is always a big deal for me. I worry they’re going to think I’m weird, or I’m going to say something stupid, so I clam up, and then I feel like I’m so boring.

I have always had problems with stress, but now it is just so hard not too as my world seems to be falling down all around me.

I know that if I stress less, I would be more positive and possibly do better, do more etc. but it is just so difficult right now.

Maybe if I make it a goal, and track it every day that will help!

I was thinking maybe if I made a list of the things I think so much about and stress over I might be able to put them into perspective.

What others think of me
wanting my own place and feeling guilty about it
having a crush at work
not having gone to college
driving to new places, or in traffic
meeting new people (outside of work)
meeting dead lines in my writing courses
my obsessive thoughts about the past
