my attempt at dealing with stress

This last little bit of life has been crazy for me.

I'm sure most of is are experiencing stress for one reason or another, but I suppose the best way to deal with it is to remember that all of it will eventually disappear.

For me, school is a big part of the whole stress shenanigans. I know it can be very overwhelming and the amount of work is so ridiculous, but we all just have to remember that in the end we will get it all done and everything is going to be just fine. I think sometimes we forget this, and that's what drives us crazy. I know that it gets me down a heck of a lot.

Today, I handed in my 3rd essay that was due in the past time after Reading Week, and I now have one more to go. I also wrote a test that I thought I was totally unprepared for. Nothing felt better than handing in the essay and finishing that test and knowing, "I'm done. It's gone."

Having that thought should bring some comfort. Even if before/during the time you are focused on a specific issue, just remember that after you do it, it's complete and gone. As hard as it is, try not to let what you are working on or thinking about control you. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, and that whatever you are stressing over will eventually be completed or go away. Even though sometimes we have trouble believing this (me especially), life will move on.

Hopefully this helped to give people inspirational ideas on how to better control stress. I'm no expert, that's for sure (in fact, I am a regular and intense victim of stress) but these thoughts seem to help.

Try them, They just might work for you too :)
