It’s hard to believe it’s April already and it still doesn’t feel like Spring yet even though I do see more green and will probably have to start mowing next week. It’s raining out now so that always puts a damper on things, but it also helps all those beautiful flowers to grow. I need to get in the self-motivation mode and stop procrastinating because I have so much to do. It’s the weekend again and they are coming and going very quickly at least for me.
Everyone is feeling the stress with our economic downfall and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better any time soon. Everyone knows that stress can cause many health problems because your body causes chemical changes in your brain which can lead to lack of energy, depression, tension, anxiety, headaches, sleep problems, back and neck pains, weight loss or gain, and high blood pressure. We all know the healthy proper ways to take care of ourselves, but we don’t always do them.
We know that smoking, alcohol and drugs are not the way to deal with stress, but they are habits some of us adopt over the years to seemingly help us cope and we honestly know that they are making our health deteriorate which causes even more stress because many can’t even afford to see a doctor, of course if we used that money we spent on all those unhealthy habits we probably could. We know we should get plenty of rest, exercise, and eat well which includes a large amount of fruits and vegetables as well as proteins.
When we feel stressed it’s certainly hard to muster up motivation for ourselves or to help motivate anyone else we are just to tired to even bother. We may be so wrapped up in these stressful thoughts that we fail to even see what is happening to us. There are free clinics out there that offer help for those that can’t afford it and professional help really should be sought when you realize your having sleeping problems due to anxiety, extreme irritability, thoughts of suicide, loss of appetite and noticeable weight loss, and a feeling of isolation or a desire to be isolated from other people.
Okay I’m getting stressed so that’s enough about stress. Sometimes I really think I should change the name of this blog to Immature And Senile. At times I type things that seem to alienate people and cause them to respond negatively or not respond at all and just stop bothering to read because they judge me to be nuts. What motivates us to share personal thoughts with perfect strangers? Can you really express yourself on a blog and be totally honest or do you hold back so you don’t lose readers?
Would it bother me to have my family read my blog and know how I actually think and feel about things? My Mother if she were still alive would probably read it and it wouldn’t bother me, but none of the rest care one way or the other because they all struggle with their own lives and really don’t care, even Bill doesn’t read my blog unless I make him listen to some of my drivel and then he tells me exactly what I want to hear, he’s very diplomatic.
