Posts Tagged ‘overeating’

Well, it really is getting to the crazy-stress end of the year now, uni-wise that is.  I have to keep reminding myself of why I am doing my masters(!)  It’s a tad depressing, or I am depressing?!  ;)

I seem to have a never-ending list of things to do, and only two months from tomorrow to get everything done.  I am trying to stay positive, but my stress often seems outta control.

Mr. J tries to be understanding, but there is no denying that it is having a major impact on our relationship.

I’m trying hard not to be crazy, but what am I doing just doesn’t seem to be working, or isn’t enough.

> I exercise 5 times a week minimum
> I go to bed early
> I plan, I prioritise, I am organised
> I take time out

But I also avoid, procrastinate and overeat.

 

I need to make a real effort to focus for my last couple of months at uni (EVER!).  So less procrastination, and more doing.  Less perfectionism and more items crossed off the list.

Doing more work, means a more sedentary lifestyle.  But it’s really important that I don’t lose focus of my health goals.  I need to make time for exercise, I need to put in the effort to prepare healthy food, I need to get enough sleep.  Otherwise, I will stress and worry over that as well.

So it is about balance.  Hopefully I can find that balance sooner rather than later ;)

I just can’t seem to help myself.  I am a major stresshead.  Major!  This week I had an excuse – a job interview, and excessive amounts of work.  But, still, I perhaps may have had an inappropriate level of stress in response to said stressors this week ;)

I am definitely feeling better/de-stressed now that the interview is over.  As soon as I walked out of the interview I felt better.  I know it was my first ‘real’ job interview, so it is reasonable that I was nervous.  But not so reasonable that I maintained such a high level of stress for almost four consecutive days.

Which left me on edge, and Mr. J walking on eggshells.

I know that exercise helps, but sometimes it is hard to look through the stress-haze and do what I should!  I also need to watch the bad habit of over-eating to cope with stress.  Time for a brisk walk in the cold this afternoon, some good TV watching and a healthy dinner, and a long hot bath tonight.

How do you deal with stress?   Help a girl out ;)
