I drove home today, on the verge of tears. I honestly don't know how much of this is stress and how much of this is hormonal... (Yay, PMS!) I spend most of the day either frantically working through a massive to-do list, or too paralyzed with the enormity of it all. Thankfully, this week has been a bit better since I planned out the big tasks. But there were still tears on the way home. I'm living in this Möbius strip of stress at times. Working away helps keep me from freaking out, but the sheer amount of work causes the freak outs...What am I doing to help myself?
- The one thing I AM doing is leaving at 5 every day and trying not to answer work emails at home. Keep work at work and home at home.
- I'm making a small pile of tasks that I can't get to. I know there is someone else that will help, but I HATE fostering tasks onto someone else. But then again, I don't have to be Super Woman...
- I've also stepped up the running. I don't know why running works so well, but it does.
What I need is a week at Disney World... and a lot sooner than we're actually going.
How do you handle stress?
