Default Stressed!!!

ok... in the next 3 days my future, career, possible amazing job offer, along with the conference championship match for a team that i coach is all happening in this time....

either A. I have an amazing career job with great pay in an awesome town and my team wins the conference or B. I dont get it and we lose which would be devastating..

how do you deal with stress?

I think of the person I am envious of, and wonder how they would deal with it

Also, find a comfort zone (FF) where you know all that matters is the surrounding area. Plus a prescription to Valium. I have buckets of stress.

I like deep breathing exercises. Hate to sound too new age about it, but it works for me.

I find some serene setting (even if it's a back parking lot to an office building), anywhere that is quiet, and I just breathe real deep in and out. And I dont think about anything but breathing deep.

Then I do what has to be done.

It works. At least for me.

Just remember that as exciting this moment may seem, it is just that. One moment in time. You will have many more moments throughout your lifetime, both good and bad. The key is to not let them change who you are.

That works when you're 18, a newlywed and a security guard for 6 dollars an hour.

I'm 33, not a security guard anymore, and make alot more than 6 dollars an hour.

Although, I am divorced. Maybe the Ficus Tree broke us up.

Congrats! Good to hear that you didn't crumple under the pressure.

Honestly nothing relaxes me more then just laying outside packing a lip. So stupid and yet so good.

Congrats homie
