papayawhip is going to have a 3rd cookout tonight - 3 nights in a row... yay
So many worries. I am driven to the point of nausea every day. I just want things to settle down again.
How I did it: First, i took some time to re-assess myself, my life and my stressors. Decided on what to change and get rid of. Then, spent the whole month cleaning up...that covers all aspects: physical, mental, spiritual etc.
I did: went to the dentist, got a haircut, went to a spa, bought myself a gift (a new bag), de-cluttered my closet, cleaned up my room, organized my files, travelled out-of-town alone, ate something sweet and cold, set my priorities straight...
Lessons & tips: It's like giving yourself a breather from life. A lot of things can be suffocating esp routines and responsibilities. But allowing yourself to pause for a while and relax, will help your mind and body function at its optimum level.
Resources: spa, dental clinic, money, self, frappucino, pizza, church, Bible, journal...etc

With every passing day, it seems that I just get more and more stressed. It’s not just school, but home life as well. I just don’t know how to make it stop. I’m slowly going crazy!

im actually working on this…but i have a few more things to do before completing it. I’m just glad i already took the first step of de-stressing… went to a spa. it’s lovely and i think im halfway to completely feeling totally stress-free.

dunno what’s up with me, but im supposed to be in bed right now and be in the middle of a dream. but here i am, tired and wanting to sleep…but damn it! i just cant.
i’ll probably have my “ME” day tomorrow.. no 43T, no nothing. i’ll drive my way down town—to the spa, church, my favorite japanese restaurant. oh well.

i decided to not only de-stress, but also detox and just re-invent myself. yesterday, went to the dentist… guess the best way to start is with my teeth! smiles…. =)

2008 was extremely exhausting for me: mentally, physically, emotionally. my well-being isnt well at all… guess that leaves me with what? - “being!”. Yeah the word for it, coz im just here existing. Right now, i dont just feel tired and empty. i actually feel lost. my future seems really vague. oh…so here’s poor smalltown girl needing to get a life.
and i think there is no better time to do this but now. i finished my volunteer job this month, and its the start of the new year.. so i’ll do some self pampering, self focusing, self rejuvinating activities in the following days. the thought of it actually excites me… =)
i’m prioritizing this goal…badly need it done soon.
So there’s a hot tub in the apartment I’m renting. I go there to blow off steam, then I go for a swim.
I don’t know if it’s helping, but I feel better :)
I’ve finally chosen to do things for myself. Change things when I can and let things go if I can’t. I enjoy my job.. I’m not stressed out trying to figure out what people are thinking.. I’m okay with being alone and I cherish the moments with friends as I’ve gotten rid of relationships and friendships that were not helpful and actually a bit toxic. WOO

I have not been to the spa in a few month, but tomorrow is my My boyfriend and I’s 7 year anniversary. and we both have been working so hard lately. and I have been trying not to let my mother get under my skin and friendship issues cloud my mind… Its hard for me to not stress about anything and just say “lets go!” but thats what i need to learn to do more often when it comes to taking time out for myself. I have also been meditation a few times a week (still not as much as i should be) and getting back in to yoga so… i think Im doing alright.
