Stress- Is it really worth it?

Sometimes I catch myself literally freaking out! Stressed to the max, and feeling completely out of my head. Then I say HELLO, EARTH TO EMILY! COME BACK TO REALITY! I would say that I stress way too much. An unhealthy amount actually. Especially when it comes to work. I work for a medical distribution company working directly with 8 hospitals that depend on me daily to get them the products they need to keep their doors open, and their patients alive.

Example, I would say my morning started off normal and then BAM. Hi stress! From about 8 am to 9:30 am my mind was going crazy with OMG what is going to happen ect. Can you guess what that stress was caused by? Do you really want to know? It's pretty embarrassing to say...but my account was out of washcloths and needed more STAT! Their is a huge shortage/increase in cost of cotton so textiles are hard to come by so finding a solution did take a bit. But really...did I need to freak out and get all worked up because one of my hospitals didn't have something as simple as washcloths? Of course we found a solution but I think it would have been a lot better if I would have just stopped to take a breath and then move forward.

Everyday is a new day for me to try and stress out a little bit less than the day before, let's call it a work in progress.

What do you do to relieve stress?
stress ball? One of these poor guys would not survive in my hand!

I usually try and listen to music and take my mind off of the current stressful situation. Here are few of the songs that put me in a better mood.

Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones


Here's to tomorrow, a less stressful tomorrow that is! :-)
