Today has been one of those days, the type that just kicks you in the ass from the start and keeps going. You feel the stress all the way in your shoulders and your back. It comes from all angles, from work to home, even the commute is stressful. How do we deal with this type of stress? In the past I would have used all type of bad ideas to deal, lots and lots of alcohol, lots of taking it out on those close to me, even just shutting down and giving everyone the silent treatment, which in a lot of ways was even worse. Today I am working to do things differently, trying to keep in mind that I can only control what I control and realizing that most of life is not about what happens to you, but how you react to what happens to you. As I go on this blogging journey I am trying to be mindful of those around me and how I react to different situations.
A tough day
