Today I was ready to rip out all of my hair and scream at the top of my lungs while throwing my body into a complete temper tantrum on the floor. Yes ma’am, you heard me right… I’m in my late twenties and I was about to throw down like a two year old little girl that was just told no by her daddy! My body was taken over by absolute frustration, my patience had worn thin, and my brain was on overload. I was in the middle of five tasks that needed to be completed in 30 minutes and I was being pulled in five different directions. I felt like I was about to burst. I didn’t know which task to focus on and was too busy trying to figure it out to notice that ten minutes had flown by. My sense of a “normal” reaction to stress was drifting further and further away from my scope of reality. I was so focused on how mad I was that I wasn’t able to finish everything I wanted too. I knew if I stayed later than normal I wouldn’t be able to calm down and my negative feelings would carry over into the night. This is a “trigger” for me, working too much when you’ve exhausted your “normal” state of mind. You’ve got to recognize when you’ve had too much stimulation and/or stress for the day. Listen to your body so you can take a step back and regroup. It’s ok to take care of yourself! – XOXO CrazyInHeels
