I’ve been on edge again as of late. At least I now can recognize pretty easily what has me in a tizzy:
- No schedule – I hosted friends for 3 days this weekend. No alone time + watching every word I say = stress.
- No cash buffer – This one is a stretch, because I have a lot of cash in my debt destruction fund. But my business checking is very low right now (lots of account receivables at the moment!). I know money is coming, it’s just not there yet. And I get stressed when I see only 1,XXX in my account.
- No exercise – I just took care of this. But I hadn’t worked out in 6 days. No good. If I worked out every day like I should, that would help a ton.
- Slow business month – Business is slow so far this month. That stresses me out, even though I know it’s because it’s December, and it’s just a slow month.
In other words, I have explanations for everything that is stressing me out. But I still can’t seem to get over it all.
I’m sure I’ll feel better tomorrow.

" I hosted friends for 3 days this weekend. No alone time + watching every word I say = stress." — well, you are doing something wrong…you are not being honest. Your trials should be liberating experiences, as long as you are facing the truth.
I have felt the same way lately…
Why do you have to watch what you say? If they are your friends, you should just be yourself.
Working out is an amazing way to get rid of stress. Have you thought of trying yoga?
I recently started (and felt a little stupid at first) but the benefits have been amazing!
It seems everyone is feeling the pitch lately, I do freelance IT work and I have seen a slow it down a bit
