Stresses of Everyday Life
It seems that there is always something that’s going on in regular, ordinary life that stresses me out. It’s really quite inexplicable. I can’t understand it. There’s just always something that affects me and gets me worried for seemingly no reason. I constantly worry when I have nothing to worry about. And that makes me stressed. And the more stressed I get the more I worry and the less I concentrate and am able to get things done.
My life right now has no big concerns at all. I don’t have a job but I really don’t need one. I’m okay with money. I just want to pay off my student loan; which is almost done. Then after that I’m going to move to Massachusetts and basically start over, because I don’t like it here and I want to return to my native land. Sounds corny but it’s want I want and how I feel. And I know it’s the right decision for me at this point in my life.
I don’t have any health concerns. My family has a collective good health. At least what I know about. I don’t have anyone else in my life that I really care about.
My sports teams are doing fantastic. The Red Sox are world champions (second time in three years). A great many people have lived their whole lives without seeing the Sox win it all in there entire lives since 1918. I should be truly grateful to have seen it twice in my short life so far. The BC Eagles football team finished one of their best seasons; in which they were at one time ranked number two in the country. And the Eagles basketball team is doing fairly well. I expect them to go deep into the NCAA tournament. The Celtics are having one of their bests seasons ever with the new “Big 3” of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. They are, in most eyes, the favorite to win the NBA finals. The Bruins are probably doing the poorest of the bunch; but even so they aren’t doing that bad at all. They’ll make the playoffs. I’m sure. And last of all, the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS are the best NFL team ever…yes EVER! They went 16-0 in the regular season (1st team to go undefeated since the 16-game schedule). And in this era (of free agency and other factors) that’s unheard of. And now we’re just two weeks away from playing the wildcard NY Giants in the Super Bowl. They are highly favored and I know they’ll win. So absolutely nothing to worry about there. Not that I’d let that stuff really stress me out. But it’s just to show that it’s another thing that I shouldn’t be stressed about.
It’s just these little annoying events and incidences in my life that have me absolutely perplexed as to why I should be so stress. And it also got me to thinking why in general are we as a society so stress. I believe things would be so much easier if we all found things in our lives that could help us calm down and relax. There’s just too much out there working against us. But I for one am going to try, and I mean really really try to relax and calm down. I’m going to make sure that trivial things don’t effect me at all. As for bigger concerns, I will only allot a relatively small amount of concern and thought to penetrate my seemingly fragile world.
I don’t need any major stresses. I can honestly feel the change in my body and mind when I am stressed. And I can honestly say that it doesn’t feel good. So I’m going to make a change; a positive change in my life that in which I can grow from and hopefully and eventually completely eliminate all stress in my life so I can live a healthier more productive life.
