It is interesting to be aware of my stress and how it ebbs and flows. With my parents gone and a couple of days to get back to normal --well, things are back to normal.
That's a great insight for stress management! Tuesday, I felt stressed about a significant change in my schedule. Instead of getting worked up, I took a 30-min nap, and felt better. Most stressors melt with rest, space, and time.
(An exception is when we procrastinate. That stress increases as deadlines approach!)
