I haven't posted it in a while...a long while. Truth is, I am over whelmed with something that I can no longer avoid...change.
The past few weeks, I have really struggling and worrisome about what is to come. The whole whats next phenomena initially threw me for a loop, taking my health and sanity on a bit of a downward spiral. As you know, college students when they get stressed significantly over consume alcohol. This has never been a huge problem with me until... the stress of decision came about and for a couple weeks I partook in this typical college characteristic...and lemme tell you, I felt like CRAP.
Finally, Approximately 16 days I came to realize what I need to do...
I need a Bull Sh*t Detox (pardon moi francais)
Here's my remedy for this banishment of my craptastic ways
1. Absolutely no alcohol consumption (until graduation...because one must celebrate freedom!!)
2. Listen to my body... I have to admit I have not been too kind to my shoulder (aka Chuck Norris) the last month. I
3. Goodbye wonderful coffee and diet coke...while you keep me awake to study, you destroy my insides
4. No more cafeteria mystery dishes (All they do is peeve off my stomach, I'll going to stick to the salad bar)
5. Curry (aka comfort food!)
Curry in a Hurry
Ingredients:
Delicious array of vegetables
Garlic
Curry
Olive Oil
Almond Milk
Optional: Cashews, Raisins, Coconut Flakes
1. Steam the vegetables
2. Start cooking the garlic with the olive oil in a wok/frying pan
3. Toss in the vegetables
4. Sprinkle on the curry (according to your taste preference)
5. Splash a lil bit of Almond Milk
7. Add any other little fixings you can think of!
That's all I've got so far on my plans to revamp my attitude towards change. Basically if I had it my way, I'd play it like Peter Pan and seek out Never Never Land.
However, the only thing constant in life is change so may as well face it head on. Hello decisions, transitions and tough stuff, what's up? I'll be seeing you lots in the next little while.
Question: How do you deal with the stress of change?
I have just recently experienced a large change in my life and it has been terrifying!
ReplyDeleteIt does make me feel stronger to come out of my decision feeling like things will be okay some day down the line. For now I might feel alone and scared in this situation, but having hope in the future makes things easier.
Change scares the heck out me. But what I like to think of is that fear drives you to do something great when you least expect it. It might seem daunting and gigantic, but once you look fear in the face, its all uphill from there. Good luck!
