Stress is off the table. Or is it?

You guys know that the migraines have been kicking me to the curb lately. My doctor just flat out told me that, should I continue to stress out the way that I do, I will continue to have these and that I essentially have to change who I am for a little bit so my body can heal for a while.

Change who I am? Not get stuff done early? Procrastinate ON PURPOSE? I’m writing this blog over the weekend. I don’t procrastinate. That’s not what I do.

Be a little reckless. Do things I don’t normally do. Release the tension.

I have no idea how to not be high-strung, but I’m up for opinions.

Let’s also factor in the idea that mid-terms is in a couple of weeks and my diligence is of utmost importance during this time of year. However, I was reminded by her that if I have the kind of migraines I get, I can’t study, let alone drive to go to school, work, or practicum.

You get where I’m going.

I need to destress.

And I need to do it now.

And I need to do it quickly.

Because I must get back to my old self as quickly as possible.

I may have missed the point.

Sunday How-to: Never be bored at work

Some people, like my husband, like to fidget. If you get him a paperclip he can hold in his hand, he will drive you crazy with it by manipulating it for hours while you attempt to talk to him or get his attention. It’s how he rolls.

It’s also how some of you roll and a reason why Mondays are so hard for some of you. Mondays require attention on a day you’d rather have second Sunday. So, I found this amazing little how-to that you can put together on first-Sunday to make second Sunday a little brighter. Let me know how it goes.
