Combating Stress

This week has been full of stress.  I had several after school meetings/events that took me into the late hours of the night, and on top of that I have been crammed with homework this week (including SAT studying...Yuck!).  Last night was finally the breaking point for me.  I literally stayed on the phone with Jason crying, simply because I have been so stressed out.

With that being said, I think I focus on the little things so much, that I let it bother and stress me out to the point of exhaustion; which, of course, isn't good for my health and well-being whatsoever.  It seems like it is those little things that just get to me, like my hair not looking just right or the rice I made being too mushy: both are silly issues I know, but they just stress me out more than any bigger issue would; however I want to start focusing on the positive aspects of my day instead of the negative in order to fight this stress. 

Someone commented on one of my posts recently, saying they always make a mental note of the things that they are thankful for.  I really want to start following this idea too, since it is such a positive way to influence my week and my day!

So, despite the stress, here is what I am thankful for this week!

1. My wonderful boyfriend, Jason.

2. The little wonders like stationary and tea. 

3. Instagram 

4. All of my blogger friends for being so supportive :) 

How do you battle stress? And what are you thankful for?
