Do you ever find yourself attempting too much at a time? Maybe you are like me and you are prone to doing this, especially when trying to stay busy and not think about other things, things that would cause your stress level to boil over. There are just times when we can't handle all that life is throwing our way. Lately I've been dealing with just that.
Between the precarious health of a few family members, the end of the semester, figuring out what to do with my cat while I travel this holiday season, dealing with some relationship issues, and well just day to day stress.
Last night I decided to relieve some of my stress by driving to BK and ordering some fries. So I get dressed (I was in pj's, threw on something a bit more appropriate-my jogging clothes!) and got in my car. It was a bit chilly, but actually not bad. Well, I pull up to the drive through to order and my window WON'T roll down! So something that I thought would help me deal with some stress actually added more! HUMBUG! In the grand scheme of things a window that won't roll down in Winter is not all bad, nor is it an immediate concern, but I'm mean, really, couldn't it have waited till after finals on Wednesday!?!
One of my favorite activities I do to de-stress is to bake or cook. I should know though that I can't bake when I'm super stressed because I'll get busy doing 1 (or usually 3) other things while the food is in the over. Today was no exception-today I was baking some shortbread and as it was in the over I came up here to study and check my e-mail, and the shortbread paid the price. I didn't hear the timer go off, and I well, forgot to take it out of the over! It is still edible, it isn't completely burnt, but it isn't my best effort! Oh well, if the shortbread is the only casualty of my overly stressed life than I guess I'm doing ok.
So what do you do to de-stress? What are the things that have been causing you the most stress lately? Either sound off here, or just think about it and give them over to God.
