Stress

Ever Since I can remember I have been a the type of person to stress. I stress about everything. Stress should be my middle name. I stress about things that will probably never happen. I stress about money... actually I think everything I stress about usually always comes down to money. STRESS! UGH! Just saying the word gives me stress. I stress about offending people, I stress about hurting someone's feelings, I stress about not measuring up, i stress about failing, I stress about succeeding.... I mean it... I really know how to stress.

Today has been one of those days.... I can't seem to get out of the funk! I have several things I do to help and many of them are successful but I'm curious. So let me ask.... What do YOU do to relieve stress? I'm willing to try anything!

Laur-we are so alike on this. Elder Holland always has some good things to say. His talks give me some relief.
Also-hot chocolate. Warms up the soul, and calms down the heart!

Oh Larayray! Stress sucks, I'm sorry. :(

Maybe just do what Maria would do - sing about your favorite things, then you won't feel so bad ;)

Or watch a chick flick (that always helps me escape my world).

Or make a list of things to do, so you can see what you have to do - then just take it one step at a time.

Or read your yearbook(s), where everyone has something lovely to say about you :)

Cook! You love to cook.

Take a bath. A BATH - not a shower. And just relax for however long - go to your happy place (Disneyland!).

Listen to Les Miserables, and pretend you're in the show.

Give me a call, and we'll chitty chat until you're laughing & feeling better!

I love you!! Hope the stress dies down and the FUN rises UP! You deserve it. :)

Seriously, reading this post reminds me so much of me! I stress about all of those things, too! It sounds cheesy, but the one thing that always works for me is serving other people. Whatever opportunity you can find, take it. Or make up your own opportunity. Because as I do, it helps give me perspective and magically shrinks my worries. That's what works for me, anyway. Now when I'm stressing on my blog, please remind me I need to be serving more! Because sometimes I forget!
