Stress

I stress about every single detail in life. I'm not even kidding.... There are 2 types of stress. There is eustress and distress. Eustress is the kind of stress that motivates you to get something done. Distress is the kind that weighs on you and causes all sorts of problems.

Every single assignment I have, I turn into a stressful situation. As well as stressing myself with other peoples problems. I have a very caring personality, I worry about others. But the one thing that I need to realize is that I can't help other people until I take care of myself.

When you are on an airplane, the flight attendants give directions on what to do if there is a problem. If you loose air pressure and can't breathe, air bag things drop from the ceiling  What do they tell you to do? "Adults, put your mask on then help your children." Why do they say this? It's the same principle, You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of yourself.

Don't cause yourself stress. Eliminate things you don't need to worry about and try to relax. In health today he had us turn off our phones and put on this relaxation CD. I legit fell asleep, I bet I like slept talked or something. I noticed that that was the best power nap I had ever had. You need to learn how to relax and get away from all your media for just a couple hours. It's hard, but worth it. Just turn your phone off for an hour or so and relax completely.

Make to do lists and cross them off when you finish something. It feels so good! I am a visual learner so i have to see everything in order for my brain to process it.

Listen to calming music. Close your eyes or read or scriptures or write in your journal. It's so worth it!

I am a total hypocrite and I stress so bad. I honestly shouldn't be giving you this advice because I can't even handle my own stress. But, learn from my mistakes and PLEASE positively deal with your stress.

Read a book
take a power nap
talk about it

Tell yourself "I can, I will."
Listen to inspiring music
DON'T PROCRASTINATE
