I had to ask myself the question this week....was I going to go crazy!?
- Closed my house purchase...all the final paperwork flurry
- Bank lost $000,000's in a **NEW** Online banking feature (obviously with glitches!)
- Work had 2 more organization changes with 2 more planned - so waiting it out as best as I can - but seeing it cause more chaos with people
- Managing the multitudes of opinions and 'feedback' on projects I am on with upcoming deadlines - whose do I follow when they are all key people in different ways?
All this resulted in a much higher level of stress than usual.
Then I found this picture showing the body's reactions to stress - I think this just made me stress out more!?
And I spend a lot of time self-analyzing, trying to understand the pieces and decisions and actions that make all this up to understand
- what can I do differently to not get as stressed?
- what amount of this is me, and what is out of my control?
- do I create this stress? how and why?
- will I ever be able to be the person that is 'the calm in the storm'?
And of course, asking myself these questions encourages or promotes the stress!! A Catch-22 indeed!
