To overcome stress when you know it is self-inflicted is difficult, but not impossible. Maybe make a list of your favorite things.....foods, places, songs, etc. Write down as many as you can. Then when you are feeling stressed, get that list out an do one of those things. Listen to your favorite song.....and sing it loud, dance to it. Cook or go out and get your favorite food. Do something for YOU.....something you love and that pampering of yourself will make you feel good and happy. That will release some of that stress and it will give you a little break from mom. (My personal favorite is a manicure and pedicure)
Just an idea....
Take care of yourself!! Sisu |
