Dealing With Stress

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Adapting to change as I mention most weeks is about the fear of a 'What If' moment. As we know a WHAT IF is an ILLUSION, so what you are fearing is only an illusion. Most fear is about WHAT IF's. If we could only see how peculiar that fear actually is, we may have a route to overcome it. Another strong factor in amplifying fear is the tone in which we describe it. If you immediately respond to a situation and call it a problem, then sub-consciously you are dealing with a difficult situation. If you change that habit from calling something a problem to calling it a challenge, then life is sweeter as you can fire yourself up easier to deal with a challenge. Today's material is more of an excerpt from a book or a speech. The author is unknown, so it is difficult to attribute it to a particular occasion, but the words are strong enough to get the message across. END YOUR DIFFICULTIES Will today be a difficult day for you? That depends on whether or not you decide to make it one. Just about anything can be difficult when you make the active decision to consider it so. We often assume that things such as focused effort, discipline, commitment, and persistence are difficult, and as such are to be avoided if at all possible. Yet that is just an opinion. When you think about it, "difficult" and "easy" are very arbitrary terms. Thinking of something as difficult, just makes it that much more difficult. So what's the purpose of it? Imagine what would happen if instead of thinking, "This is hard work and I can just barely tolerate it, " you thought "This is necessary work and I'm thankful that I'm able to do it." Making judgments about whether something is difficult or easy doesn't contribute anything to the level of accomplishment. Stop categorizing tasks as difficult and you'll no longer have to do anything difficult. Just do what needs to be done and truly enjoy the fulfilling road to achievement.

I know most people are going to tell me that its common in teenagers but i am not quite sure. Im 17 and a junior in high school. I have nothing that is bothering me in school my grades are okay not the best but im not stressing because i will get there. Since January i have been able to sleep like a baby Before then i had been dealing with stress from a horrible break up (July) and i stayed up all hours of the night and just cry but as December rolled around i stared being able to sleep again and it hasn't been since here recently that i have been unable to sleep. i avoid soda at night i drink water or milk. I have tried the whole "oh just turn everything off and close your eyes it will work" i have also tried sleeping pills, NyQuil, and benidryl sometimes they would work and sometimes they make me feel worse. i just don't know what to do i have been told to go to the doctor but i just don't know. i would love to know if there are any home remedy's or anything to avoid the doctor but if i get enough reply's sayin i should i probably will im just tryin to see if i can get over this without have to take prescription medication. Please and thank y'all (:
