I feel like I post about stress a lot, but sometimes I just need to vent and writing about it really helps me out. For being summer, I have been finding things super stressful. Work has been stressful, days have been stressful, people have been stressful; however, all the stress really isn't great for me and I didn't even notice how bad I was getting until Seth pointed it out yesterday, so I am going to try to fix the problem.
I think the best way to deal with the stress is to a) not give up on anything and b) take a step back from the situation. Instead of rushing things or getting all wrapped up in something I just need to take some time out of my day for me where I can calm down and relax. I am going to start of with giving myself 15 minutes away from the TV, computer, phone and just being. Hopefully that will help with the stress... I may even use the 15 minutes to meditate and clear my mind!
Do you have any stress tips?
I feel you. Obviously right now is super stressful for me and my husband too, with upcoming location changes and all! The things that help me are spending time with family, my pets, and reading! When I'm a basket case I can usually sort myself out with a few hours in one of my favorite books or graphic novels.

Stepping back is very important. I've found that also going back and reflecting on things can help ease stress. When you look back on something that made you stress weeks ago and say to yourself "I can't believe I ever worried about that", it puts things into perspective.
