Stress Less – There are bigger things ahead

When I was not yet working, the word stress is not familiar to me. But when I started working, suddenly I feel easily agitated, tired, sluggish and irritable. That’s when I’ve realized, that I’m under stress. The changes that I was undergoing were all part of the stress that I’m feeling. In fact I am not stressing less but in fact I was under a lot of stress. This brings me only a single step away from a complete melt down. I have to come up of a solution that will help me manage my stress level or better yet completely get rid of it.

Most people that I’ve asked about on how to reduce stress level always give me the same answer, which is: “That’s simple; you can reduce your stress by taking a break, go on a vacation.” So, I’ve pondered on that thought. Going on a vacation some place can be expensive. I have to think of another way to reduce my stress. That’s when this thought came into my mind. I can take a break from work for days, and just stay at home. At least I can be sure that my room is a stress-free environment. I can do the normal things that I’ve used to do, before I had a job. But when I started working most of the time I’m out of energy and with that I am not able to do the activities that I love, the activities that I’ve used to do.

But then again, I’ve realized what if I don’t have any leave credits left from work. How can I manage to stress less? That’s when I’ve finally told myself, that I have to take control of my life. I have to learn to put myself first before my work. That I have to balance my life, work and personal time for myself. The changes that I was undergoing were a part of the stress that I was feeling.

Now that I’m able to manage my stress level, I have this motivation that I am able to take control of my life, and the obstacles that life may give me in the future. I don’t have to worry about the stress, because I’m confident that I’ll be able to surpass and manage it. I stress less, because I know there are bigger things ahead of me.
