Bang head

(to my reader(s)) This blog entry is long over due....and a little personal.

For the past few weeks, it's been needless to say interesting.

Talk about the stress level on high alert. And because I am human, the way I deal with stress may not be the way you deal with it. Follow me.....

So here's what's going on

• Spiritual life.....In the valley pushing towards the mountain top



• Professional life.....I am in the middle of a huge transition. It's good for me and what I've been praying for. The kicker, I am currently where I am at for a little while longer.....



• Love life..... yeah I am eating chocolate! White, Dark, Milk, Caramel, Peanut Butter.....um, chocolate!



• Personal life.....should I even go there???

So as you can see these things have pushed my stress level to HIGH! And if you know me, you know I don't manage my stress well. See I am not stress eater, cleaner, runner, etc., etc...whatever else people do when they are stress out. Me, I get very introverted, impatient, and snappy. I don't care how you say it, how you did it, who you did it with or to, where, when, and why....bottom line is I tend to not care. I know #epicfail

I realized today, that no matter how stress out, we as humans get, we make it all about us! It's never about attacking the problem head on and finding a solution. We make it all about us and we get almost self-destructive. Just think about it..... We over eat, we exercise till it hurts, we clean the house to "perfection" then snap when someone doesn't use a coaster on the coffee table, we drink alcohol in excessive amounts, we bang our heads against something (kid you not--you've seen it or done it at least once), or we pick arguments just so we can be mad at some thing or someone.

I don't have tips on how to manage stress or how to overcome it. Just this, the next time stress gets you...be a part of the solution, don't continue to feed the problem. Find a way to channel that negative energy. (Yes, stress is negative energy) For me, it's writing....it's getting out my day through a text, email, blog, or journal. I told you this one was a little more personal than normal.
