My Stress Confessions

As 2009 concludes, and 2010 begins, many of us will reflect on what has passed, and make new resolutions.  Well, I have so much of stress confessions to make. But I said to myself that I am trying to have less stress in 2010.

Here’s some of my stress confessions and my new year’s resolution plans and will try to do my best to practice it in my daily routines. :D

My 1st Stress Confession:

I GET OVERWHELMED

I suffer from the “too much to do, too little time” syndrome. I’m a multitasked, even though I know that it just makes me more stressed.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

I’m going to try to pare down my list by saying no-a key stress reliever. I know sometimes it takes a crisis to spur these changes.

My 2nd Stress Confession:

I OBSESS ABOUT THE LITTLE STUFF

A lot of times before I fall asleep. I’ll think about what I haven’t gotten done and what I still have to do tomorrow. I obsess about  updating my blog (emails, communities, and affiliates) and the dirt in the corners or something that was said about me.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

I’m going to spend minutiae and pay more attention to connecting with the important things in life: family, faith, friends, fun, and health.  I feel stressed when I feel disconnected.

My 3rd Stress Confession:

I GET SO BUSY THAT I FORGET TO EAT

My daily household schedule is crazy plus I have my sidelines. Most of the time I attempt to do it all. Sometimes I’ll skip eating and get a headache. I’m hungry but I don’t have time to eat.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

Listen to - and take care of - my body. Stress affects our moods, but its real impact is on our bodies. "Research has shown that stress is linked to cardiovascular disease, so it’s a health issue, not just a quality-of-life issue." I need to recognize that by taking care of myself-taking time to eat, sleep and exercise-I’ll be better able to take care of every schedules that I have in the future. I think we’re told to be a superwoman and do it all. We can do a great job, but we should observe our own limits. I need to commit to putting my own needs into my schedule.

How about you? Do you have any stress confession to share? Feel free to share it  here. :) To all: I want to let you know again that I am always grateful for your support. You have been all very kind in continuing to visit my site.
