What’s stressing you right now?

… um …

i don’t know.

hoping my daughter treats this semester more responsibly.

my son needing more activity than i have been able to provide for the last couple of months on account of this heel … that’s stressing me out. he’s an active little guy and he needs to do WAY more than i have been able to. his disruptive behaviours have been escalated because of it. but … my foot can take some weight these days and we have some regular respite so i am looking forward to positive changes in that area soon.

so … that’s it, i guess.

the state of the world, in general, at this time is also a source of stress for many. but not me at this time. i know … i should be freaking out. someone with anxiety like me, not freaking out when the world is a dumpster fire. but the thing is … i have faith in my heart, not fear. and i cannot stress about what is outside of my control. so while anxiety and panic has risen for the general population, i have fallen back on my therapy and have relied on all the tools that have been built into my toolbox for years. i have focused on what i can do, not only for my family but for my community … my physical community and my extended community. i have spent my time filling the community cupboard and making sure my neighbours have food in their bellies. i have been busy making home education resources available for people who find themselves homeschooling, not by choice but out of necessity. i have enjoyed taking time, when the weather is nice, to host performers of all kinds while venues have been closed. so … the current state of the world hasn’t been stressful for me.
