Random Thoughts: Stress?

I think that everyone deals with stress differently. Some people like to address the problems that are stressing them out head on and others prefer to just take their mind off things and hope that the stress fizzles out. I’m definitely in the second category; I’m more of a stress-avoider. When I’m really stressed out I like to just escape it by doing enjoyable activities like reading a book or watching a movie. Just anything that will help me take my mind off of whatever’s making me stressed. If it’s something I’m really dreading and getting nervous about, I find it’s easier sometimes to just go to bed early and sleep it off. A lot of people like to confront whatever’s stressing them out head on and just get over it, but I deal with things better if I just take a deep breath and decide to take my mind off of things. A stress escape artist, if you will.
