The Stress is Driving Me Mad

I'm quickly getting very stressed out from school. 
I've never really been good with stress, it just makes me want to sleep all the time, and my workouts have been suffering because of it. I've really been trying to control my eating, so I haven't really gained any weight, but I've only been to the gym twice during the last 2 weeks, and that's only because I work out with my trainer every Wednesday. Every night I go to bed thinking "I am going to get up by 6:30, go work out, and then it will be done and I can move on with my day." But when 6:30 comes and the alarm clock is going off... I just can't seem to pull myself out of bed. By the time I'm done hitting the snooze and get out of bed, it's 7:30 or 8, and I don't have time to get to the gym before my class starts. I feel like I'm full of nothing but excuses the last few weeks, and I just can't seem to find a way to stop making the excuses and just do something. I always find a reason not to, and most of the reasons aren't very good.

I'm sure most of you out there have dealt with the same problem... I know I'm not the only one. I just wish this was all easier. I wish I had a better way to deal with stress... maybe I should start meditating or something. Has anyone out there ever meditated before? I'm not really sure how to go about doing it, so if anyone has any advise, on meditation or anything else that would help out with stress, please help me out!

I hope all of you are doing well, and dealing with your stress a little better then I am!

♥ Lots of LOVE ♥

  1. If you have any access to a yoga class, I highly recommend it for dealing with stress. I've tried meditation but I get a lot more out of yoga since it's really a combination of meditation and exercise if you have the right teacher. Keep calm and carry on as they say!!

  2. I will have to see what my gym offers, I guess I've never really thought about doing yoga, but it might just be what I need. Thanks for the tip Tina! :)
