Stress

When stress levels skyrocket...

• You consciously tell yourself everything is going to be okay. 
• You start thinking about the steps to take care of the source(s) of the stress. 
• You try to relax and think happy, zen-like thoughts. 
• Maybe you do something to distract yourself for a while so you don't worry as much.

And then your body says:

"Yeah um... screw YOU buddy, you can't fool me! I know what's going on, and I'm gonna let you know I'm not happy about it."

Ohh well. Some things you just can't control-- no matter how many books you've read, or downward dogs you've performed. Sometimes all we can do is take a deep breath, and try again tomorrow!

Life is lived one day at a time and to be honest,
I have grown to be really glad it's that way.
