Stress and Sensibility
I read on MSN.com a few years ago that the most recognized English word in Japan is stress. I am not turning Japanese but it is currently my most recognized emotion. I was born a worrywart and though I have improved a lot, I am still one.
Anyway, today I am stressed. And the funny thing is I absolutely have no reason to be! I have a nice job whose demands I can still meet. I have wonderful and supportive friends. I have a great family. I have enough money. I have a great life. :) So why am I stressed? Well, now that I am writing this entry, I realize it+s because my mind is hyperactive.
For the most part of my life, having an overactive mind usually means that my creative juices flowing and my philosophical thoughts are overflowing. Then again, this also also causes me unnnecessary stress.
Everything in life has a plus and minus. As I have always believed one´s biggest strength is also his/her biggest weakness. I mean, sure, I am deep, intelligent, mature, blah, blah. But I am also constantly stressed! Ho-hum! :)
Indeed, I should make an effort to make sure that I get the most out of stress and not the other way around. :)

Hey Erica, I know how you're feeling.. that was me about 3-4 years ago when I first became ICX director of my LC. Got so stressed my neck went bust and had to wear a brace for a week.
What did that teach me? Being stressed only makes you slow down ;) cos if you get sick, you can't work any more. So take it easy, do some yoga/meditation! You'll get better results in the end :D
