Stressed OUT!?!

Miss Scarlett · 06-17-2010, 04:53 AM

Started counseling last month at the suggestion of the MD who is guiding my weight loss.

Beginning to see how much stress/pressure I have been under for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time and dealing with it.

Turning off the radio and listening to some awesome music: classical, opera, meditation, etc. on my daily commute (1 hour each way) has really helped.

My counselor mentioned an exercise of 3 times a day stopping, asking self "How/what am I feeling?", and writing it down. I am too busy for that so I started doing something similar when I feel stressed or overwhelmed by something - I record the date, time, what I am feeling and anything I have to say about it. This has helped me get beyond what's going on and see the situation as it really is rather than from the skewed perspective of my stressed out self.

I've also got some crystals, incense and sage, etc. to help with the negative energies that love to hang onto me.
