A little Stress

There’s stress and then there’s stress and it’s not all bad. It’s fair to say everyone at some point has experienced stress from one degree or another. Running late getting the kids to school. Over spending on the credit card. Getting ready for an exam or not meeting your sales quota at work that’s what I’d consider normal stress. In small short lived amounts, it can be beneficial. It can help you focus, motivate you and push you to reach your goals.

A lot of Stress

But I guessing your reading this right now because like I was, you’re suffering with long term stress. You’re probably snappy, grumpy, unhappy and you feel like screaming. You walk around feeling like there’s a massive weight in your head. You can’t remember the last time you were able to relax, probably can’t remember the last time you laughed out loud. Every little thing you’re asked to do feels like it might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and that’s just the start of it. For me I suffered headaches, insomnia, wasn’t able to concentrate, was always anxious and was in a constant bad mood. I hated feeling that way and I hated the way I was treating my family even more. It was a vicious circle I felt like I wanted to run away from it all but I couldn’t give in. I had a wife and family that needed me. So i just kept on going hoping something would change.
