My stress levels have been ok the last several days. It’s helping that I’ve been seeing some good things that have come out of bad situations, especially where I just let go and let things be. So having this proof helps me remind myself when I get stressed again feeling like I need to figure everything out.
Praying, reading my Bible…especially Psalms, hanging out at church every chance I get, getting coffee with friends, target shooting in the woods
@secondhandhippie I am glad you found a way to make you happy. Keep it up!😄
@amiablePeace77 I have been so, so stressed since becoming a uni student. Not for the "normal" reasons either. It's so hard to explain.
@Minismox I am sorry you feel that way. I hope everything goes back to know normal. Wish you the best! 💗
