Stress?

Finals week is just lovely isn't it? It seems as though finals bring out everything else that seems to be going wrong in my life, but bad days do that too don't they?

 Lets take today for an example. I woke up and had it in my head that I was going to school to take one final, would go to lunch, home and then just relax, while getting done what I needed to. Once I got to school things quickly started t become annoying. People not being prepared, running late, and unorganized. It seems as though once I become annoyed enough every single little thing that goes wrong becomes a even bigger annoyance. Anyone agree?

So how does one go about attempting to put a halt on the bad day? Here's what I did... Came home and had a pretty decent work out. I really have extra energy when I am annoyed or upset, and If i sit on that energy it builds up and I do not seem to get anything done. By working out I am able to use my energy and put it into something healthy. I feel s much better after doing 30 minutes of walking/jogging and then the weight machines. Then I took some time to relax and watch The Ellen Show.

In stead of letting the day get the best of me I took control and attempted to make it better. Are there still things on my mind that are bothering me? Of course, but that is true even on a excellent day.

Taking control of my own emotions is something I've just recently stated doing. Ive been famous for sulking and laying in bed because of a bad day, but once you take control you'd be amazed at how easy it is to make yourself feel even just a little bit better.

Be kind to yourself and try to make your day a little bit better.
