Unlike most people, I love Mondays. Cuz it brings energy and new hopes. And I dislike Fridays. Although weekend is near, it is also the time when effects of stress peak. The journey home alone is the toughest. Things get better once I read home as I indulge in slacking and what not.
Like it or not we have to put up with stress. What is stress? I think it is something which your body experience when put thru' some kinda situations. It drains your body, makes your mind tired. Ironically, I think this weakness stems from strengths of humanity. Example, sense of responsibility, commitment, consideration for others, desire for perfection, to improve or achieve, etc. Unlike unhappiness, it isn't as simple as So-What, and let go. Cuz you may not be worrying or actively thinking of it, but it continues to take a toll on your body. Tho' I think to relieve oneself from stress also requires one to plunge into another realm. Be engrossed in other matters.
It is natural for one to wish to hang out with friends and loved ones when experiencing stress cuz our body associates those with feelings of overwhelming comfort, neutralizing the stress. However, like all things, body learns to adapt and cope with stress better the next time, ie. being comfortably numb.
I think the key is really to find some kind of fast relief each time before the effects set in. Of cuz smoking and drugs ain't good form of reliefs. They become addiction, rather than helping the body to adapt stress. Seems like my addiction is writing. But its harmless lah. =p
Anybody free to hang out this weekend? -grins-
