Stress is killing me! Stress is the silent killer in our generation. If comes from work, from relationships, from church, and mostly from people, many of whom who claim to care for you and have your best interests at heart. The sad thing is that they are usually blind to the fact that they could possibly be more a part of the problem than the solution. The question I love is when you share with someone close to you that you are stressed out, and they reply...What could you possibly be stressed about? or the better one...just get over it! They never think what it is like to walk in your shoes. Stress tends to elevate the BP (mine is currently 149), increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, not to mention a few other unsavory medical issues. My doctor told me recently that I need to simplify my life. I laughed. Another nonsensical idea spoken by someone used to saying platitudes instead of thinking through the issues. To simplify my life would mean to pack up and run away from everything and everyone I know......while I cannot even escape from Facebook....do you see the impossibility? But I have began praying that God will resolve some of these triggers for stress. Sadly, few even know they are a trigger! Oh and I am still contemplating the big escape....one day!
