How do you handle the daily stresses in your life? Are you a hide under the covers person, a problem-solver, or a face things head on warrior? Or maybe you’re a little of all three depending on the situation.
What surprises me is that no matter how healthy we’ve become through therapy or how advanced we are as a society, there is still a lot we can do to be and do better. There are, for example, still roadblocks ahead concerning mental health stigma. On top of that there’s the economy, natural disasters, and the oil spill, oh my! With the weight of the world on our shoulders adding significant baggage to our already piled up plate of worries, perhaps now more than ever, quoting the title of the 1965 Beatles song, “What the World Needs Now is Love.”
Yes we definitely need a break, don’t we? Hope you’ll indulge yourself a bit with a little reading. You can start with these top 5 best blogs of the week. As always, I hope they’ll bring you hope, inspiration and the courage to be strong when necessary, be open to support from others when you are unable to, and have the wisdom to know the difference. Cheers!

These blogs are very interesting. It is amazing to me how people especially woman deal with so much but yet on the outside they seem to have everything together. This can not be healthy! You would think that one day something is going to happen and they are going to just crack or breakdown. How do we handle everyday stresses of life and get relief from them so we don’t have to carry them everyday and allow them to grow? We need to learn how to let go of some of the small things. I remember reading a book called “Don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s all small stuff”.
Thanks for listening, and keep posting great blogs it helps to be able to vent!

Thanks Lady Tina Moore!
Very true. We women have a tremendous amount of responsibility on our plate. Men do too. I guess the only thing we can do is keep communicating our truth and find the support we need to get through it. Thanks for sharing and for your comment here! It’s great to know there’s people like you out there who are reading and getting so much from our blogs.
