Handling stress
Posted by Becky on 21st Jan in General.
Work this week has been stressful with deadlines approaching and I have yet another business trip next week to Boston (yes, I know, no giveaway today either but I realized I can do the giveaway while I’m in Boston! win for everyone!). In the meantime, I’ve been trying to keep my mind off stressful things by doing cozy things like snuggling with cats, crocheting, shopping (NO I DO NOT NEED TO BE SHOPPING AT ALL EVER but it is an addiction UGH), playing Pokemon Diamond, and just trying to keep my mind off the stress.
It’s funny. Sometimes it’s better to talk with someone when you’re stressed, but right now I really just want to not think about it. Because there is no good solution to work travel and the particular work stresses I’m experiencing aside from relaxing lots at home.
I also bought a betta fish for the office named Edgar. He’s awesome, and it feels good to be caring for something at the office as well as at home. And it’s great to just take my mind away from everything and focus on watching Edgar swim around or caring for him.
And of course doing things I love to do and taking care of myself lots.
What do you do when you encounter a problem you can’t solve? Do you prefer to talk or to not think about it?

I’d like to talk or blog about what bothers me. That helps me and it’s therapeutic. It’s better to do that for me, otherwise I’ll drive myself crazy. It’s better to release that anger out instead of trying to ignore it.
Buuuuut, that’s just me.
Sorry to hear you’re having such stress at work. That’s never fun. ~_~;
