Stress Reduction - Some Simple Secrets
I remember the sound of the alarm clock going off every morning when I was snuggled under the nice warm covers and believe me it took everything I had to get up and deal with my at home responsibilities before I could even get to my paying job. I new that when quitting time came at the end of the day that after the short ride home I would be getting stressed out and anxious, bordering on depression just thinking about all that I would be doing at home for the rest of my night. I felt like two people who wore so many hats with all I had to do each and everyday.
There never was enough time to get it all done and I felt overwhelmed at times. This certainly is not a new concept for people who work outside the home and have children, a husband, activities, commitments and perhaps even looking after ageing parents. Just reliving the memories of all of that makes me feel the beginnings of anxiety. Fortunately I can keep the stress from the job and time issues from taking over my life now that I took the suggestion of a trusted family member to stay home to do my work.
I wondered if people who stayed home to work really were having success and could the average, regular high school graduate have similar results. With some research and talking to my friends I discovered that there may be something I could do with my time.
Along with having my outside job, being a wife, mother, cook, nurse, chauffeur, cleaning service and outside activity coordinator I asked myself if I was really happy doing all of this each day.
The stress and anxiety would build into periods of depression and I knew I wanted to eliminate these issues. I had to ask myself what I was passionate about before I could make the transition from the traditional outside job to the new concept of working at home.
Working from home had definite advantages for me especially after I suffered a heart attack. That was certainly a motivating factor in my decision to change my life. I did my personal homework and found my number one passion.
I had the desire to help others recover from anxiety, panic, stress and depression. I felt I could identify with others who were suffering like I had been.
I have learned so many new skills and have found so much to be grateful and thankful for in the last eight months that I no longer think in the terms of a job but this is the calling I have had inside of me for years.
I get a feeling of importance that I am doing something so rewarding and worthwhile. I can reach so many people and bring my own information to them. I get to continue the helpfulness and caring that I used to give to my family when they were all at home. I still am involved in their lives but this is a way to use my abilities to reach out. I know I can make a difference by taking my desires and putting them into action.
I keep motivated because I am continuing to learn everyday and it is exciting and challenging.
