#BEDN: Stress Awareness Day

Everyone deals with stress. Some of us are better at dealing with stress than others. I wish I was better at it, but I'm working on it. I'm the kind of person who holds everything in until I completely breakdown. It's so unhealthy. I'm the kind of person who doesn't cry much when I'm upset, I mostly cry when I'm overwhelmed or mad. There are a few things I do when I'm feeling stressed.

Listen to music. I drive between 140-180 miles a week just for school. No matter what obnoxious traffic jam I hit or whatever horrible mood I'm in, as soon as I turn on my Spotify I'm calm while I'm being a professional car singer.

Writing. I used to write a lot. I have so many journals filled with things that are sometimes hard to look back home. However, just writing in general calms me down. Which is why sometimes I don't even know why I bring my laptop to class, because I write everything. Sometimes I'll blog while I'm stressed or upset and it really does help. It might not help me keep readers, but it is what it is.

Netflix. I watch the stupidest movies when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes they're dark movies that kind of weird me out, sometimes they're stupid chick flicks that just make me laugh or sometimes they're sad movies and I can just cry it out. Somehow they all do the same thing, make me feel better.

Have a beer. I know that you shouldn't drink to get rid of a bad mood. That's never my intentions. Sometimes I'll finish off my day, come home, grab a beer and just relax.

Open up to someone. I have the hardest time talking to people about anything going on in my life. But sometimes when I feel like I can't hold it in, I'll open up to one of the few people I know that will sit there and listen to me.

Look at quotes. I have part of my biggest motivating quote tattooed on me. The full quote is, "Pain breeds strength, trust your struggle." It's such a great reminder. However, somedays I just need a little more and I'll search Pinterest for some quotes that remind me everything is going to be okay.









How do you handle stress?

  1. I like this post. Unfortunately, I don't handle stress well at all. I just hold it in until I have anxiety so bad I can't see straight and then I cry.

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
