Let’s Talk About Stress, Baby

Stress. It’s a little tiny word that causes some big huge problems. Chest pains, sweating, illness, sleepless nights, anxiety. Sound familiar? Of course it sounds familiar, because at some stage in your life, you have experienced extreme stress. And you’re not alone.

A recent survey found that 77 percent of adults admit to experiencing physical effects of stress regularly. 73 percent of adults say they often struggle with the psychological effects of stress. 48 percent of adults say they are more stressed than they were five years ago.

I stood at my seventh floor viewpoint, my hands pressed softly against the glass of the hotel room window, my eyes wide and taking in everything in front of me. Below on the street men wearing white robes drove past in glimmering cars worth more than my family home. In the distance beautiful women in flowing black robes sashayed past gracefully, Gucci pumps glistening in the morning light and Louis Vuitton bags slung neatly over robed shoulders.

The Heartbreak Hotel: Dumped, But Never Defeated

It came like an earthquake. Nothing for a very long time. Stillness and calm. Chirping birds and mellow crickets. Warm breezes and soft waves. Glowing sunsets and warm hugs. And then all at once, a sudden jolt, violent and unexpected. Entirely undetectable and overwhelmingly unsettling.

Well, that feeling, the ‘noise’ coming from somewhere (with no logical ‘quick-fix’ way to turn it off*) and the frenzied panic of trying to stop it… that my friend is what anxiety feels like to some of us.

We want to be someone, do something and see everywhere – we want to live our best lives; a life worth talking about.
