Stress is a Mess

Stress. Without it, we wouldn't have anything to teach us to manage our time, money, resources, etc. I'm not very old and haven't been through a whole lot. However, I've been through enough to teach me that stress is a real thing. It is not a pigment of my imagination. It is not what mommies and daddies whine about for no reason. It honestly and actually exists.
There are many types of stressors. Children are an example. I don't have any of my own but I have a big family with a lot of children in it. I work at a daycare and I'm with kids constantly. I  treat them like I would my own. They teach me things everyday just like I teach them. They are constantly needing things and wanting more, more, more. It's important to continually give them everlasting affection and unconditional love even though it may not be the most convenient thing for any of us in any given circumstance.
Money is another popular factor in stress. Daddies especially are affected by this kind of stress due to their being the head of household and keeping everything together and everyone, including mommy's shopping habits, happy. Being a college student, I find it necessary for me to work part-time. But, with age comes responsibilities. Yes, the old cliche is true. I have gas, phone, gym payment, and anything extra to pay for. School should be my number one priority but I have found that keeping up with my job and finances has unintentionally taken spot number one.
In conclusion, I strive to deal with my stresses in a positive way by means of praying and taking appropriate time for myself to clear my head and keep my thoughts in order. But first, I must complete the tasks that need to be completed before worrying about anything extra I might want to do. Procrastinating is a tool that tightens the screw of Stress.
