RE: Sixty Day "Guilt Free Me Time" Challenge Day 1
Removing the stress and changing the behavior sounds like great advice! I don't know why we as a society hang on to stress like a life line when it's so draining emotionally and physically. When I was much younger, I used to live for drama. Even though I have removed so much drama from my life sometimes I find myself getting hung up on little things. Old habits die hard, I guess.
That book sounds fantastic! -Aimee
Isn't it crazy how people live on stress, almost like they feed on it? But you are right, sometimes I make mountains out of mole hills, and it doesn't make any sense!
People definitely feed off of stress. I think it makes some people feel important, like it's not all for nothing. Feeling like we are a small fish in a big sea is easy with the way the world has become and having a sense of purpose gives people drive. We just need a societal shift and I think a lot of that goes back to people putting their well being first and foremost. -Aimee
I have never thought about it that way before! I think you're right that it makes people feel like they're important. Whrn I was little, I would play "office" and pretty much I wpuld pretend to type, shuffle around stacks of paper and pretend I had people demanding things of me. I loved it because it made me feel essential.
Perhaps that's why certain people gravitate towards drama. It gives them a place inside of something that feels big.
