@RumpleSteeleSkin
Thanks for the thoughtful post... {{{hugs}}}}
My response... probably not so thoughtful. Sorry.
Dealing with stress myself and too much of it is piling up. WIth family drama, work drama, health drama, and le drama importe (translation: someone coming with more drama for me to listen or more likely nod at and ignore) -- my drama has drama. So tired of the drama..... ::beats head on desk ::
So honestly, atvm, I have no idea how to go about dealing with it especially since it seems to multiply like rabbits everyday right now. No tips. No ideas. I'm not sure what to change other than cutting the family off again - and telling them tough noggies. Which means the guilting gets deployed, the harassment gets deployed, the manipulation gets deployed, the haranging gets deployed, and barrage of how selfish are you and variants fly.
Change the job .... yes, please.
Or falling off the face of the earth would work, I think.... darn gravity. :P
I wish dealing with worry and stress was as simple as doing laundry.
Reds in this piles.
Jeans in this piles.
Dark gentle wash this pile.
Light gentle wash this pile.
Towels this pile.
Everything that will have to wait to have more of that color in this pile.
Instead it's more like trying to separate out the threads of a tye-dye shirt into each color without have a tiny bit of any other color on it.

Hi Diplomatic great to see you here
oh wow hugz are awesomeIt is ok on whatever level you are thinking right now- no Judging honestI'm really sorry that you are dealing with a lot of stress-hugsHa yes I do really understand you on the drama. No no head banging peeez. hmmm- Im trying to respond to you without giving advice- O.O
I think the best thing I can share with you-is being mindful OF YOU! If that means letting go of ur family for a bit so boundaries are respected-so be it. If it means limiting time with them due to a lot of drama and stress so be it. It is you who looks after you
Mindfulness teaches this to us. To check in with ourselves daily. To show us ways on dealing with stress and what we have control over. Sometimes this is very hard lol.

@diplomaticconfucious
aaawww this is so so cute- thank you
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hi Rumple! How are you doing today? I hope you are having a wonderful day and week so far! 
How can we be more mindful of not letting the worry take over our day?
We can try to be more mindful of not letting worry take over our day by centering ourselves through meditation and awareness.
How can we know to handle what we have control over and let the other stuff just play out?
We can know to handle what we have control over and let the other stuff just play out by either saying aloud or writing down our worries and then letting them go from our mind, body, and day.
What are your worries? Set them free today?
I am worried about my prospective graduate school not receiving my official transcript still from one of my undergraduate schools. Also, I am quite anxious about the possibility of not getting accepted into my prospective graduate school. I set one of my worries free today by e-mailing a ton of questions to my admissions advisor.
@SaimaK
Saimaaaaaaa ello wonderful to see you todayAaahhh love it- being more aware of when we see we are worrying and stressing alot. We have that power to allow that to over take us or have some control in it with mindfulness. I like what you shared on what we have control over and what we don't. Validating it ourselves by saying it aloud or writing it really does make a good out let. I am not going to write ur worries here....but hugsThey are all valide as they are yours. I can share tho, yes we worry we are human. But learn to focus on what part you have control over and how it can be changed. All others we may get some help or we need to let them go. Proud of you Saima very much so
@RumpleSteeleSkin Wonderful to see you today as well, Rumple! Yes, mindfulness and validation help immensely with controlling and letting go of worries! And thank you so much, Rumple!!! It means a lot to hear this from you, and I appreciate it so much! You are so sweet! Thank you!
