Stress is something everyone tries to avoid. Some are better than others. Some just go insane. If stress is something that I mastered, then who knows where I'd be today. I remember the days when I get really really stressed, I'd freeze up and just lay in bed letting time pass by thinking about all my insecurities and all the things I won't be able to get done. I would almost think my life was coming to an end and that all the things I worked for would never pay off. My heart would beat fast, my breathing would be a bit more shallow and Id breathe faster. My head would feel like it's ready to explode and when times are at its worst, then I'd feel like the world is going to end. I used to handle stress so poorly that I just had to give up on everything.
As a newly 27 year old, stress has become a part of my life. The difference now is how I choose to cope and handle it. I used to worry so much about what I will lose and not get, that, I forget about what I have at this moment. I'm trying my best just to stay in the present. Take a moment to just close my eyes, take a deep breathe, and tell myself (as cheesy as it may sound to you all), "take your time Justin. you can do it, just breathe.." Once I tell myself that, everything starts to slow down. Now I don't do it all the time. I do it probably 20% of a possible 100, but it's one of the things I am definitely working on.
Wherever and whatever life throws at us, I've learned to just be like water. Bruce Lee explains it best.
