Stress

There are two things I find to be the worst things to deal with in everyday life. The first one is not being able to have a successful night's rest, and the rest is being stressed. You could even argue that they both go hand in hand with one another.

                                                                                                

This idea of "stress," is something that cannot be cured with medication. We want there to be a cure for it. We want an easy route- pop a pill in every morning, and we're set. Unfortunately, de-stressing requires mental work, and will power. That's why doctors don't prescribe people with 'stress,' because there is no pill that they can prescribe, and essentially make more money.

Personally, I've tried lots of things to help with stress. Reading, Writing, Blogging (?), Yoga. Nothing seemed to work. What I've realized does help is the idea of connecting your breathing, to your body and thoughts. When you take deep breaths, let yourself feel it go through your body, and let go of all thoughts. When you focus on your breathing, you should be taking your mind away from everything else.
Continue the exercise for as long as you need, or several times throughout the day.

Stress creates physical and mental illnesses. It's such a bigger problem, than we make it out to be.
Depression, Anxiety, Cancers are all created when you're body is stressed.

So today, try looking up at the sky. Realize there is more out there than the present. Focus on your breathing, body, and health.
