My ability to deal with stress has reached new lows this semester. I have been having a real hard time staying sane. The physical incarnation of my stress is a hungry monster. It wants to eat up every aspect of my life and turn it into more stuff to stress about. For the past week, I’ve been trying to take back control. I cut out alcohol and caffeine. I decided to cut out bread because I find I make back food choices when bread is an option. I’m trying to eat better. I went to Rainbow market and made a huge batch of anti-stress tea by combining some herbs I know to relieve stress. I carry it around with me in my Nalgen bottle all day. It seems to be working, I have been so much more for the last week. But today I seem to be stressing over trying to stay unstressed! No good! I feel like my life is tugging me along, and I am helplessly scrambling, trying to keep my feet on the ground. I keep waiting for next week, next month, next year. I have to find a way to enjoy my life right now. I have to figure out how to have a busy school schedule but have it not effect me like this. I’ve got another year ahead, a very busy one. I hope I can keep it together.
