Never underestimate the power of taking even just one day for yourself when your stress gets too high. It is amazing what one day of you time can do for your mood. I had planned just such a day for myself today. I made it clear to everyone I was not going to be on line and for everyone to leave me alone. I was so stressed out last night if my brain had been a computer processer it would have burned out last night it was so overloaded. I had planned to just lay around sleep and watch tv today. YEA RIGHT. One of my associates called me just as I was about to dose off, and not wanting to be rude I took time from my day off to talk to him. I do not know what was more upsetting that he interrupted my down time or the fact he fell asleep on the phone mid way through the conversation. As far as I know he is still asleep as he did not seem to notice I hung up the phone yet. At least he did not call back to see why I hung up or to say sorry for falling asleep on me after he interrupted my day off.
There are times that we all need to get away from those things that stress us out even if they are our friends or family. There is nothing wrong with running away from it all for a little while, as long as you remember one thing you can not really run away from things that are stressing you out. Your best bet is to go clear your head then come back and deal with the things that caused the stress in the first place. The time away from the things that are overloading your mind helps you to see clearer. With a clear head you are more able to see ways to get rid of the stresses all together.
