Stress is very real. I have had my share of stress, for some reason my past stress caused a lot of unnecessary worry. I finally realized I didn’t need to stress out about every situation.
Today I don’t make time for stress; I put it aside and take care of important matters at hand. I have found through my years, it is worse for me to dwell on a stressful situation.
Do not take me wrong now, I do not forget about a stressful situation. I just put it on the back burner for a little while.
Every stress related situation has a way of working out, but I have to work on the situation not stress out to the max about it.
I will call or talk to someone for advice, someone I trust, I think of what is best for my family. Am I making right decisions? Today I am good about making decisions; most of my decisions turned out good some did not in my past. Some people cannot make decisions for fear of failure, but I had to start somewhere and you have to start somewhere too.
I found my biggest problem was not speaking up and then later saying, ’well why in the hell didn’t I say anything?’ I know now it was for fear of the outcome.
I have had my own business for 16 years now, and there could be a lot of stress for me if I dwell on everything that is negative. I am happy to say my business does very well, I work hard keeping my customers happy.
Sure I have a little stress sometime, but I am not going to jump off a bridge tomorrow over it.
Stress is just a part of life, we handle it, or we do not. There was a time I could not handle stress, but that has all changed now.
When I get up every morning I am thankful I have another day to live, work, and enjoy my family. I look at everything in a positive way.
Any one of you can stop letting stress run your life, I did, and I know you can too.
