Stress.
That's one word that can do a lot of damage.
It shuts down your immune system and messes with your hormone levels. Its a tricky word.
I didn't think my stresses in life were bad. I thought that it was normal to feel that life could be completely out of my control. That wasn't the right idea. Life is how you make it.
I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror again today. The bags under my eyes were worse than I thought. The color in my face had faded. My hair even seemed frizzy with the lack of hydration my body was receiving.
Ive been stressed to the point where passing out in the bathroom was my only option. It was the scariest thing I've experienced. I laugh about it now with other people, but in all honesty, I was scared.
It has got me to the point of I needing a vacation or my health could completely suffer.
Why is stress this important?
I'm not stopping to look at and smell the roses. I'm just working life in big lumps in my hands trying to keep a hold of grains of sand. Its impossible. When you are defeated and you keep letting all the stresses rest on your shoulders, you know where that gets you? Some really sore shoulders.
I have some good friends who keep telling me to keep my chin up and that's what I'm going to do. I won't let the stresses of my life control it. I'm going to control my life.
I got this.
