Rough Edges

"Some days everything is swell. Other days you just want to fall into the well." -Kazie

Today was one of those days for me where everything just seemed rough around the edges.

The festivities started with cuddling with my insomnia Wednesday night. An as an extra bonus, I had a early AM class to attend along with a lot of other tasks on my daily to do-list. One of those included an afternoon exam...could this get even better?

Oh but it can.

So I would say I finally dosed to sleep around 5 AM and got at least a solid 2-3 hours of sleep until my alarm went off. And by alarm I'm not referring to my digital clock. The alarm would be the roofers above my heads banging on the roof. I seriously felt as if a migraine was banging on top of my cranium. Quite terrible but I couldn't wander back to sleep with all that going on upstairs.

Other things such as school assignments, deadlines, and even one of my tires losing air piled on to my levels of irritation for the day. But during it all...I kept my cool around the edges.

Days like these happen to people. Not every day of our lives is gonna be peachy, a set of roses, or whatever day care fairy tale you want to come up with. It gets tough out here and it can get to you when things just aren't going your way. However, for my sanity's sake I kept my composure leveled because in the back of mind I thought that if I snapped, the day would increase in difficulty and make it 100 times worse.

So how did I keep a leveled head on the playing field? Deep breathing exercises.

Just took a few minutes out of the day and just took some deep breaths releasing the stress, anger, and everything negative out of me and focusing on the awesomeness that today has brought me in small containers.

I also took a trip to the gym to let out some "frustration". That also did the trick.

They're plenty of ways to settle your mind from reaching critical levels of stress and irritation. Just do your best to keep above a ground when the going gets tough.

Preparing for a better tomorrow...after all, it is Friday so why stress about that??

Ttyl.
