Stress is a funny thing. I find a little stress is a good thing. It keeps me doing stuff, taking action and that keeps me moving forward.
In the past I’ve had quite the issue with stress as well. When things get overwhelming I tend to … well I eat. And I stress. And I wallow in how awful my life has become, woe is me! It’s quite the little melodrama.
I had an experience last year of really loosing my focus, getting sucked into the vortex of fear and disappointment. Things got really bad, really quickly and much of it was because I was fearful to begin with. My fear attracted stressful experiences, which intensified the fear and attracted more and more stress and experiences and so on and so on.
To change that I had to take some serious steps. Scary steps. But the thing is I felt so much better as soon as I did.
What really changed though was my focus.
I was stuck in fear, depression and frustration.
I changed my focus back to what it is that I want and almost immediately things began to lighten. I took the big scary steps and they lightened even more until I really began to feel happy again.
Things are drifting back to the scary place now. But this time I refuse to get caught in them. This time I am going to focus on what it is that I want. Thinking things like how wonderful it will be to work for myself. To know that I control my income. I can do what I want, how and when I want to. Its an amazing feeling.
