These words have very different meanings to people.
1) What does stress mean to you?
2) What does relaxation mean to you?
1. Stress - another term of fear / afraid. 2. Relaxation - silence
to me, stress is feeling overwhelmed, in a certain level of panic, and constantly feeling like you should be doing something more productive or that you’re running out of time to get something done. you feel stiff and drained, both physically and mentally, and stress personally causes me to procrastinate what i’m stressing about as i don’t like to feel it. to me, relaxation is feeling at a certain state of calmness, and where you’re able to be in your own heard without worrying or having loud thoughts. it’s being able to accept and acknowledge things, and relaxation for me is something i don’t get much of but am definitely very appreciative and grateful for when i do! -S x
@imlistening01 when I listen to the inner critic, I am never doing enough and feeling bad about myself. When I can see I am doing the best I can my stress levels go down.
@soulsings stress is all the bad memories of my past coming together and painting a bad picture of my future and me feeling helpless.
Relaxation is a dreamless sleep. To be free of the thoughts is very relaxing.
stess to me today is when I forget that I am not the thoughts flying through the head.
Relaxation is when I remember life is a gift, even in the midst of all these troubles, it is
