Are You Stressed Out?
Is your life hectic and chaotic?
Or, is it calm and peaceful?
Is there another adjective or adjectives you would use to describe your situation?
Are emotions under control, or would you say, “No, my emotions are out of control.”
Here is a quick exercise.
Add up all the things on your To Do List.
Then, add in deadlines.
Then, add in people with competing agendas.
Then, add in emergencies.
Then, add in last minute scheduling changes.
Do all the tasks in your life add up to make you feel overwhelmed?
If stress is getting out of control, take a moment and recall the lyrics of the first of Simon and Garfunkel’s song, The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy):
“Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy”
Take a few breaths. Slow down. Pace yourself. Be good to yourself. Ask for help.
