Stressed???


When life seems unfair and you struggle to make it day to day,
what do you do to get back in the groove?
Specifically, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best,
how well do you handle stress?
And WHO or WHAT stresses you out the most?

I would say i handle stress pretty well. For the most part i am easy going. so i'll go with SEVEN.

now as for what stresses me out the most, it's somewhat embarassing... an untidy room, or house drives me nuts!!!

for me, it just depends what the stress is. i dont do good with a untidy house. i like things to be clean and organized. i also would give myself a seven. money issues stresses me out the most.

life is often unfair, huh?
some struggles weigh on me more than others. scale of 1 to 10, i'd say about a 8.
my inability to follow thru on being on time stresses me the most.
i try and i try, but i just don't seem to keep enough margin .

frodo here,
stress is a weakness of mine during spring at my job. i would rate at that time a 5 too much to do not enough time. lot of things going on around me at one time is my other weakness. kids being awnry and wife tryiing to talk and phone ringing door knock you get the idea.

this week in particular, and some of last week , i began a new lifestyle approach--

i began to ask a simple question when faced with decision making, and when i wasn't sure how to apologize.

i said, "Jesus, whatdoyouthink?"

the result -- stress way down, i have a clearer dialogue with Jesus, and my apology went smooth.

I have a problem with stress, I take thing personally and let it effect me not only in mind but in body as well. I tend to get down on myself and then the devil implants that self doubt into me. To get back on track I listen to music, read the Bible, or listen to podcasts. I have also found a great group of friends that I can vent too to help relieve some stress. My bride gets most of it, but there are some things that she does not understand, and only another man can understand. I know that is not the MANLY WAY, but I have found out that without several battle buddies you are only hindering yourself and you do not help yourself.

so boromir, would you say your ability to handle stress is more than 5 or less than 5?
assuming 10 is best.
