A little stress never hurt anyone……

As far as my post for the day I think I’ll discuss stress. My brother today mentioned that he needed to get out of retail because it is causing him too much stress. I was in his same position a few years ago. I was working retail and was under a lot of stress, and I needed a change, or so I thought. I went back to school, and while at school started my current job. I eventually left the retail world behind, but oddly I found I had more stress in my new job. It was just different, not caused by the same issues but it was still there. I learn after nearly having a breakdown that it was a change of job that would cure my stress, it was a change in me. I’m not saying that I never have stress, I still do. I just changed the way I view it and deal with it. Stress is just like any other thing, it can be handled, just like a situation that pops up on you that you weren’t prepared for. I just view any stress as another problem to be solved. There are things in life that are far more important, at least to me, than any stress I may encounter. Little things like family and friends. It is far better to worry about them then to worry about some stress that is caused by your work or job. You need to evaluate what is important to you, and once you achieve that then you can put stress in it’s place. It isn’t something to worry about, and lose sleep over. It is a problem, whatever is causing the stress. You have to attack it like any other problem to achieve an answer.
