The new job I'm in is a high-stress environment, They set up for various events, so it includes a lot of moving different sets of huge and heavy props, tech, and random equipment around, setting it up in time for an event, then going back after and taking everything down, loading it back into the van, driving it back and uploading it again.

It's long hours and you pretty much stay until the job is done.. on top of that, there's a clear lack of communication and a high level of disorganization that adds to everybody's stress on a day to day basis.

I'm so grateful to have been there because it's given me a little financial boost that I needed, but I am on the case for something that doesn't put me in such stressful environments on the regular!

I recommend we all do the same because... stress is the biggest killer!

Stress Tests

Stress...
Stress is a test to see what you do
Do you let it continue,
So that pain will ensue?
Or do you keep it in tune?
Stress will kill you...
Slowly,
But Surely.
Why would we let ourselves stress out so much?
If the life that we’re living is causing such pain,
And all that you have to lose -
Outweighs
The things that you could gain.
It’s insane.
We’re playing with our lives,
As if they don’t even matter..
We strive to be slimmer,
Or we sit and get fatter.
We worry to death,
Over things that don’t matter
It’s all because of the stress we create.
The tense and dense and toxic environments,
In which we all co-exist,
And we each co-create.
Weavers,
Weaving,
Collaborating on fate.
So why stress???
If you’re not feeling it now,
then just turn around.
You can take another path,
Perhaps one yet to be found.
There’s plenty there to choose from -
Just have to look around.
A brand new direction -
Adventurer - Bound,
To find a new future...
Where you don’t feel stressed,
After so long,
Feel that weight off your chest…
Choose a new life
Where you feel
Blessed not Depressed.
