stressed out!

Life has been hectic to say the least. Moving home, family outings, swamped at work, finals, trying to get loans, trying to find jobs in Austin. It seems to be an ongoing stress that never lets up. The second it feels that it is lifting off my shoulders it piles back on. I'm trying to not self medicate with wine or chocolate, but this is easier said then done as I do love me some wine and chocolate.


Needless to say I have to stop and make myself just breathe. I have to stop and remind myself to have faith, my future is not in my hands it's in God's hand. Again, this is way easier said then done. When finances, family, and friends, start weighing on my mind my head starts to spin and inevitably the headache is soon to follow.

Tonight, while stressing over work and school I took some time to sit and watch the new "How I Met Your Mother" episode. Simply a GREAT show!! But in it they were talking about sticking with what was comfortable and going back to past loves because the future is scary and the past is comforting and without surprise. There was a great quote Robin said to Ted's character and I wised I would've been blogging at that second and written it down, because it was soooo good. Something about we can't avoid the future because we're scared and in turn run to the past because it's safe and what we know. So thank you HIMYM for reminding me that yes the future is unsure, scary, and sometimes a complete leap of faith. But if you never take it you'll never know what you might have missed.

Needless to say after How I Met Your Mother, catch with the pup, and a few quick yoga sessions my stress is starting to melt. Don't get me wrong it's not dissolving into nothingness but it is starting to be bearable to shoulder again.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. --Proverbs 3: 5-6
