Favorite: Stress is a Mess

For this week, the Stress is a Mess post is my favorite. First of all, stress is something we all face. That sounds incredibly cliche, but it is true. We all have different types of stress. For me, I have financial, educational, and personal stress. I am not afraid to delve into my stresses because I hope I can be a shining light to someone looking for their way into the clearing. This post was my favorite because I feel that I touched on the major effects of stress, which is what a lot of people can empathize. Stress can make us blind that what is important in real life in front of us. It takes away our reason for thinking positively. As humans, we think of the next negative occurrence or event. I would like to change this. At least I would like to change this in myself. Like I stated earlier, I am not afraid to speak of the things I have gone or am going through. When my boss at work confronts me on how I am treating the children, I am honestly dumbfounded. I don't deny my actions or start blabbing about how I have been a perfect "teacher," because I know I haven't. That is one thing that severely stresses me out: my job being on the line. The job instability leads to another stress known as financial stress. My solution to her approach? I look her dead in the eye and tell her that I will work on how I say things to the children. After all, the point of being scolded is the learn from the mistakes, right? I definitely did learn. I did my best to avoid a stress and avoid making a new one. Back on track, I feel this post calls attention to something most people try to avoid instead of heal. Remember, you can't fully fix something if you keep running away from it! :)
