Once agin I am flying by the seat of my pants and once again at trying to get my blogs in on time and once agin I missed the due date. My weeks are so busy, not to say that we all don't have busy weeks. There has been so much going in my life that I can't even find the time to relax and there doesn't even been time to even have the thought to relax.
My employer thought that it would be a nice thing for him to have a massage therapist come and give us all massages for 45 minutes and I was reluctant because I have never had one and I am not real fond of a stranger rubbing her hands on me, but it was kind of nice even though the whole time she is trying to massage my muscles she is telling me to relax..I said "RELAX" what is that? I don't know how to relax and I never have. I have such a hectic life and I always find that it is hard for me to do. I am a very tense uptight person and relax was never something that I have ever been able to do and I don't think that it is going to get any better in the new future. The holidays are coming up, finals are coming and new enrollment and then of course there is work and it busy because of the holidays and lots of animals to take care of and then there is the possiblitly that a kidney recipient may come up and I will have to go and donate my kidney to some needy person and then that has to be worked into a schedule, a phone call for that can come at any time and any day and tha really puts alot of stress on me because I have to line up so many things in order to go to St. Louis and even though I get to pick the date there is still recovery time and that has to be limited so that I can get back to work and school, so if you are like me, there is contant worry of getting things done and that leads me to the point that ..I need to relax.
If there is a solution to this I am open to suggestions, because just for one day, I would love to know what it feels like to just "relax" if even just for a few minutes. A time when there is absolutely nothing to do and for the most part, nothing to think about doing or having to do.
Anyway to all of you out there who would love to give me some ideas, I am all ears or eyes, since I will have to read about it,
I can definatly relate to you. I have been having very similar thoughts. Relaxation just isn't in the schedule and even if it was I couldn't do it because I would be worried about all the other things that need to be done. My suggestion is to schedule time to think about destressing. I just told my husband a few days ago that we need to sit down and come up with a plan to destress our house. I know it's easier said than done, but I think making time to think about it might be a step in the right direction. Good luck!
