While Waiting for Normal Again

best to stop stressing out and relax because this too will pass

“In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Proverbs 3 verse 6

Hey, while the world is still tackling this pandemic and your favorite places are closed, or you can’t meet with family or friends, it is best to stop stressing out and relax, because this too will pass.

We all experience stress in life, because it is a normal part of life.  Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment. (Clevelandclinic.org) The body can react physically, mentally or emotionally.  Physically, the heart and blood pressure can increase, emotionally or mentally, anger or depression can set in.  Most reactions can leave a negative impact on the body which can be temporary or long term, leading a person to seek some kind of treatment, good or bad. 

This pandemic is taking a toll on some people. A year long stressor like this breaks down the mind and body, chipping away slowly, daily, moment by moment until there is nothing left that is familiar or even precious.

Every person deals with stress differently. Some people like to talk things out; there are counsellors or help lines to call and connect with a live voice, a person, a stranger who can listen.  Others like to exercise by going for a walk or a run or exercising indoors.  While some like to connect to others via computer, text or virtual meetings or just by calling someone to chat or others still like to playing games, reading a book, write a letter(snail mail) or sleeping, the list goes on. 

No matter the issue, the goal of this blog is to help you deal with stress positively, in a fun, simple and affordable way.
