Why Write About Stress?

In today's society people are so busy with their jobs, children, finances, ect.... that stress is a fact of everyday  life. I lived in Columbus my whole life, until I got married in 04 and moved to the city of Honaker in 07 to take over the family homestead. My stress level in the city was overwhelming, I couldn't eat or eat right, couldn't sleep, my weight and health were getting out of control, and my temper was making life hard for my loved ones. So when I moved to the country I needed to do things differently so that my life would have a positive effect on my health. I started reading about stress, exercise, and diet. If I had to keep up the way I was living in the city I would have nearly killed myself slowly with heart problems, eating disorders, high blood pressure, constant fatigue, and a lot of muscle aches. Even though since we have been here things are not going the way we planed, for example we can't find jobs where we live, our car is 25 years old and proving it, the land is so overgrown that every time we cut it back it seems to grow back at a alarming rate, outside structures need to be torn down, paint is needed every where, restorations need to be done and trying to get my candle business off the ground, it is really hard not to get stressed, but I just keep reminding myself what's more important, and that would be my health and my family's health not things that I will get done eventually. So anytime I feel any stress, I will sit in my room with music for the mind, body, spirit and just relax and meditate, clearing my mind so the I can think more clearly and positive or I will do aroma therapy bath with the same kind of music. I also will take a long walk at the beginning of every day so that my day will start on a positive note, then come in the house for a high protein meal, do my work for the day, and after all that sit down with my husband and son so we can watch movies or play games. Learning to control my life and health has made me happier than I have ever been, so if I can write something that can help others it makes me even happier, and thats why I write about stress. Now everyday is a stress-free day for me and my family.
