We all have days where one small, random, insignificant event in your day can expose your fragile ground and show you how stressed you really are and force you to come out of your denial. I'm admitting it right now: the college stress has hit me. Unfortunately this stress will always hit me this time of year. The pre-midterm stress.
I just hate it when one small part of your day sets you off into pathetic spontaneous tears. That small part of your day not only makes you look like a emotional, easily broken lunatic, but makes you realize what you haven't let go (or that your diet isn't as great as it should be or that you lack an effective destresser). Journaling seems to work for me, but as I'm writing this now, I feel even more stressed knowing I only have 2 pages of a 4 page essay.
To my few (but hopefully growing) fourteen followers, what do you do to destress?
What are your small snaps to your seemingly strong infrastructure?
Today, mine was a missed meeting. That missed meeting sparked my stress and frustration of my lack of artistic craft (in relation to my technical theatre class) the uncertainty surrounding certain projects in my technical theatre class, the emotional draining material I'm studying in my World theatre class (Middle Passage and slavery, trauma in theatre etc.) and a tennis tournament this weekend. Days like this I curse my extreme sensitivity. I hate how easily I break into tears and how easy it is for stress to plague me. Letting go is extremely difficult for me. I don't know why I love to tightly grasp over things. The questions I pose to myself can only be answered by me. Obviously, they won't be answered today (considering I'm on an emotional seasaw) but I'm working on it.
