For multiple reasons I am not as stressed out as I used to be. Of course there is the daily stress associated with work and my commute.

But the "big" stress doesn't happen unless I am mentally and physically drained. That's when even petty little childish things can morph into huge monsters. This happened to me just last week. Thanks to the strength, wisdom and words of encouragement from a very special friend my perspective was rebooted and I was able to shake it off.

Staying well rested is a struggle for me but I am trying. The doctor monitoring my weight loss constantly lectures me about getting enough sleep - as in 8 hours per night. That's something I manage only a couple of times a month, but at least I am getting more than 4 hours now.

Meditation helps a lot with the lesser stresses; it clears the cobwebs. Getting out of the office, even for only 5 - 10 minutes helps too.
