How I Got Rid of Stress

I began with the first article  when I tried to explain how I went from the most programmed creature to a flake.

When I tried to display the insanity my life had begun when there were so many meetings after a full day of work that work was more a relaxation than the groups I had joined.

I had no life, I had meetings. I had meetings and functions, and speeches, and projects, and what was I accomplishing? Making enemies, getting insulted, being over worked?

Having people attack me for views I held, events I planned, outlines I had drafted.

The actual explosion was a kind of verbal ‘face slap’ which had me stepping so far back that I walked away.

It was not until that walking away that I realised how much time I spent doing free work for organisations.

It wasn’t that I simply went home after work instead of to a meeting, it was that the demands the organisations had put on me, from writing speeches to doing research, to making contacts, cut so much time from my work day that I got a four day work week. I spent this extra time sitting on the beach.

Instead of rushing into a supermarket and grabbing, I could leisurely wander about having conversations with people.

The second benefit of cutting out stress was untroubled sleep.

Just being able to sleep without a need to wake up at a particular time, with no burdens on my pillow was taking a super vitamin.

I had energy, good appetite, great outlook. I also obtained a new view of the world. Sort an everything is cool mentality.

I decided to NEVER load myself with obligations and responsibilities, but adopted ‘it’s not my problem’ mode.

I went from shouldering the burdens of the world to going ‘topless’. And it was easier than I imagined. How? I became a flake.

    • Life is strange. Some people are depressed because they are overloaded with work and get no free time. While there are many others who want to work but dont have any.
      At present I'm seriously thinking who is in a better place?
