Relaxing Monday

Today’s rating is Positive.

I had a good day of working out at the gym and enjoying sushi with a friend. I was also able to schedule a little weekend trip to Oklahoma City for a job interview.

I was able to reduce stress today by going to the gym and also accomplishing several tasks. These are strategies I use daily to ensure that I stay in good health.

I have been through some depressing times and its not because my family history has mental health issues. Its no secret that we live stressful lives and if we don’t stay on top of the stress it can easily take over. I hope that as you read my blog, you will find it helpful in dealing with the stress that’s in your life.

Cheers to good health!

Super Sunday

Today’s rating is Positive.

I have had to deal with a lot of stress in the past two years. There have been strategies that have helped me. Other strategies were not helpful. Keeping forward thinking and focused has been difficult. I find that when I dwell on the past, I can get more upset. If I can think about the future especially fun things in the future, then I can avoid a lot of pain. If you are dealing with a lot of stress, find things to be excited about that are in the future.

I was excited about today because I got together with the Pedals and Pints and enjoyed a bike ride with a few pints in-between the rides. I am looking forward to a special dinner on Wednesday at Rock Bottom. These are things that can help me stay positive, excited, and happy; even in the midst of stress. What could you be excited about? It might help you move past some stress too.
