Stressball, I
I am a ball of stress right now. My nannying job may be falling through (they’re getting flakier and flakier day after day), I don’t have another job lined up, my job is currently ending on Friday, I’m not feeling well physically, I’m nervous about school, then money issues come into play with all of this. Needless to say, life is a bit hectic and messy for me right now. I’m not happy with that, and so I’m looking at some real stress-relievers for myself and figured that I’d share them with my faithful readers! This will take a few posts and stretch out to a few days so bear with me and enjoy! : )
First of all, when I’m stressed, and no one is home (because being watched during this stresses me out!) I like to let my body stretch out and do some yoga. There is a yoga practitioner near you and you can get yourself into a class to check it out. If money is one of your stressors (hi, that would be me!), you can even find free online yoga postures and watch streaming videos of yoga postures. Even your dog can do yoga … or should I say dog-a?
Another stress reliever I’m just now getting into is something that makes me laugh a little still. Most of the time, when you think about meditation, do you think about little bald men sitting on the floor “om”-ing? Well, it can be a bit more complicated and cleansing than that. There are many “learning” meditation sites out there, but I’ve found a lot of knowledge from a few specific meditation blogs I’ve read. Meditation Air makes me laugh “well, I guess that life, thats Zen and I have to accept this…….agrrrrrrrrrrh…” and so that’s a good stress relief. The Meditation Journey is also another blog to check out if you’re looking to watch someone actual travel to become their most Zen being.

Funny, I’m just about finished reading a biography of Buddha. One of the keys to his enlightenment was yoga. Also, giving up family, all worldly possessions and concerns. Enlightenment is tough!

Dog yoga? But if you give up all your worldly possessions and concerns are you allowed to keep a dog LOL?

Good luck with the job hunting

Hiya, Thanks for liking my website! It was very surprising for me to see you quote me here…just found out through technorati. I am not only a Zen dummie you see..I am also a blog-community and internet dummie still. I cant figure out what this website is…a journal or a just different articles from different writers….?
Ah well, might see enlightment soon
Take Care, Francisca.
