Dealing with stress

Ross you are priceless, I nearly wet myself laughing at the thought of you doing turkey calls in a Wal-Mart!

I used to think "why can't I be more like this person or that person" because they seemed to have it together, until you start to get older and suddenly you find out everyone has "stuff" then you don't feel so "out there".

Since you people promised not to judge, I will tell you a little secret and it's totally true, in August I had a really hard time with something and so to help me stay out of the grey clouds that were coming.... I listened to my parents ABBA collection going to and from work, hours and hours of happy sappy songs that made me sing along and laugh to, especially when some rapper dude pulled up at a red light, he got the"Super Trooper" treatment. There... laugh with me or at me what ever helps you.

I knew I'd matured when I realized that not everything that happens needs a reaction . Yu just gotta leave folks to do the same lame

they always do .
Read this somewhere . Luck

Yep and learning and realizing that you dont have to be perfect all the time, and that you have no obligation to go saving people (grown adult people) that do stupid things and demand your help all the time....

Besides 'issues', I'd wager we all have our guilty pleasures in music taste. I could listen to Wilf Carter yodel "I Miss my Swiss" or Bobby Vinton singing "Una Paloma Blanca" all day long.

Here's an off the wall solution that actually works for stress. Back when I worked for Culligan -spit- I had a friend who realized that I was actually suffering from depression due to working conditions. His solution, Yeah try this it makes things better...

Find a quiet place.
Give yourself a big hug.
and loudly go "WHEEEEEEEEEE"

Brings a smile to my face every time, and I feel stress just slide off like a slight chill.

Over the years, I've had recurring bouts of depression, and stress is only minutes away in my current dissolving marriage. BUT, I go to the garage do this, take a deep breath, and then I can continue with my day...

Hope this helps. It has been a blessing for me...
