Negative and Positive Stress
Has anyone heard of it? I came up with it the other day, not sure if it really exists.
I was in the situation that I had a lot of stress at work, a lot to do in a short amount of time, overtime was in order. Not a problem, I felt stressed but also enjoyed it.
Now the situation has changed. I have a new boss, very high expectations that are not communicated. Negative stress - no fun in doing the work, just pressure.
Friday really topped it. As a result I went out and bought two!!! slices of pizza and two!!! donuts. I can't say it made me feel better but it was like venting.
With this stress level I am having a hard time to get going. For months now I want to go swimming, even considered yoga (for mind AND body) and I know it helps but when I am done with my job I am soooo done for the day. So, the Y is still waiting for me (and I am paying for nothing).
Yesterday I went shopping. I did not need much but should have bought some greens. I eat veggies every day, usually avocado, peppers and tomato. So some salad greens would not have been bad. But lately they just sit in my fridge and go bad. No energy to wash some and take it along. And it would be such a good filler!
Oh well, I just needed to vent, maybe it helps to go forward again, tracking food, preparing .... and feeling better.
