Stress Management

What can stress do to you? A lot of things. It can ruin relationships. It can also ruin your furniture or your treasured items such as your wrist watch. Unchecked stress can also push a seemingly healthy young doctor to attempt suicide. In worst cases, stress which maybe caused by your own actions (such as telling lies, cover-ups, past misdeeds) can kill you instantly.

From my experience, badly managed stress can also make those around your ill, for example your aged parents or your children. And as we all know stress at work can make you behave badly towards your colleagues, which in turn will make them behave the same to you, thus straining you more. So it is contagious.

I've been asking to go to stress management course for the past three years. But somehow, the boss doesn't think I need it. Maybe I haven't been acting badly towards her, which is another tell-tale sign of stress. Well, yes, for the most part, I just ignored her existence. It's my way to reduce stress. Maybe I should start? But then bosses will always be bosses, it's the only way they know how to act. Terima mereka seadanya? NOT!

Find a good friend or anyone you feel is a good listener. Pour your heart out because I can guarantee you that you'll feel better. I did that just now, to someone I trust. I definitely feel lighter at heart.

Go seek counselling. Or pray because the power of prayers is enormous. That's her advice to me. Maybe you can use that too.
