Sometimes life is just too overwhelming for me, and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes I am stressed and uptight because I feel bombarded with stuff. Sometimes I am not. I don't believe I am any different than anyone else. Don't we all have times like that? I think the difference is in how we handle it (or run from it).
I wish I were the type to workout like mad when I was overwhelmed, at least there would be some benefit.
Me? I usually shop, look for chocolate or lurk around the pantry (but there is never anything there). Pray yes, but it is not my first response in these moments unfortunately.
When you are feeling overwhelmed, what do you tend to do? I am curious to know!
-eat.
-starve yourself.
-bite nails.
-sleep (or stay in bed).
-go for the chocolate.
-drop to your knees and pray.
-run.
-workout like mad in the gym.
-shop.
-eat.
-eat.
-something different.

when i'm stressed i like to organize things around me, i hate a mess and clutter, if i clean up and straighten things out, i usually feel better. if i'm stressed out because of someone at home and that someone is at home with me, i usually go out shopping. i find i don't buy anything though, but i just get out.
I usually turn up the volume on my stereo and dance around my room....or I cry lol.
I pray, cry, walk & listen to soft music (usually worship or classical music). Sometimes I vent to a friend. -LB
Tough one - I can do all of the things on the list, sometimes at the same time. But honestly, I tend to snap and/or cry. Then eat. then pray....nice order eh?
