I didn't believe before that stress could either make us gain weight or lose weight excessively.
I use to be very heavy. I was in a lot of stress and I would eat a lot and crave a lot. I always put on an unhappy face and I wasn't able to recognize the toll that it was giving me.
Fortunately, I am feeling better now. My neighbor noticed that I lost a little weight as compared to my very overweight aura.
I thought, does stress really made me like that? I noticed as well that I have happier interaction with my children and that they do not cry anymore at night.
Just maybe, they see and feel the darkness that surrounded me.
But then, stress is inevitable and we have to do something so that we will not be overcome by it.
There are many times that when I was stressed, instead of doing something to lessen workloads that are giving me stress, I instead go and vent out to my friends, family or neighbors.
I realized that although emotional feeding is needed, it isn't healthy when it is the only thing that we do.
So now, instead of taking very long break here, I am now typing. One reason why I wasn't able to publish for the past few days is the malfunction of my device. But if there is a will, there is a way. I could have used other devices instead of waiting for my laptop to be fixed.
But then again, it is also okay not to blog for a few days. We also have to be not too hard on ourselves.
Here are some of the ways that we can do to manage this problem:
Take time to figure out where the stress is coming from.
Brainstorm within yourself what you can do to manage workloads.
Simulate in your brain if what you have brainstormed lessens your stress.
Pray and never forget that He is always up there. It may seem that it is not working but I do believe that it always counts to pray.
Stay positive! Don't let this get to you. Fight always.
Well, I know that the above are not new and that we could read it on any other blog but it does not hurt to be reminded.
By the way, I went to town yesterday in order to buy an accessory for my laptop. I first searched the Facebook marketplace so that I will be able to get the address of where I am going.
Since I am not the type to linger and go around town for something, I got the address of the shop then I went to town.
I wasn't able to read properly the directions of the one whom I was messaging.
Good thing that the landmark they chose to be near at is easy to locate. I went near it and then I saw the supposed address. I wondered why instead of laptop accessories, they were selling clothes.
I was thinking of buying already the item that I wanted but thought better to review the message of the shop.
Then it said that it was near the clothes shop. It's signage was different. I just asked the clothes shop where the right shop was located and they gave me the direction.
Whew! It's a good thing I didn't buy there. They might wonder if I have eyes that see and common sense that observe. I went a little up and saw that shop that I was looking for.
I was glad that the item was cheap and that it was very affordable. It was a mini something and that is just my type. I don't like big gadgets. I like the min accessories and I went home satisfied.
