I am not a very stressful person in my late twenties as I was in my early twenties. I went through a rough patch right after I graduated college where stress was an everyday thing. I would say it lasted close to two years where everything just seemed to go badly for me. I had lost my job, I started a new one only to agree with my manager a few months later that we weren't a good fit for each other, I had a tough time making money, I was just getting by paying rent and eating, I broke up with my girlfriend, and this list keeps going. One day I woke up and something else had just gone badly. I laughed it off and said to myself, "Ha, just another bad day". But I didn't let the bad situation control me. I began to say everyday, "Today is going to be a good day. If anything is negative I will look for the positive in the situation. What can I learn from this negative experience?" Everyday that's what I would say to myself. I also included that I will be happy no matter what. As each day passed, I stayed happy. Of course there was things that bothered me but I didn't take it so personally because I believe that it would all work out. It did in the past when everything seemed to go wrong so I believed it from then on. I realized that I couldn't control every thing in my life. Somethings had to happen and I had to let it and then I had to choose how to handle it as it was happening. Was I going to let it stress me out or will I let the situation be and find solutions to whatever the problem is at the moment? As I continued to feel this way I realized my life became a lot less stressful. I was a much happier person. When I do get backed into a corner I take deep breaths to calm down and gather myself. I breathe in deeply and exhale about ten times. I walked away from the situation and evaluate it. How can I make this work? How can I make this situation a more positive one? Stress is always going to be a part of life but I don't let it control me. I know that I can not avoid it but it is how I view the stress and my attitude towards it that will dictate the outcome of how I feel.
