Everyone has their own way of dealing with life when they get overwhelmed and stressed out. In my case, if I get to the point where I have too much stress to handle, I like to go spend a couple of days with my family. Now, I completely understand if you think that this is a strange solution to dealing with being stressed out. I have plenty of friends who say that anytime they are with their family, their stress level goes through the roof. Fortunately, my family is a pretty cool group of people, so they actually have the opposite effect on me. I think the reason my family helps to reduce my stress so much is because I know that they love me for who I actually am, so I can be completely comfortable being myself when I am around them.
About a month and a half ago, my stress level was getting pretty high, so I grabbed a cheap ticket to Pittsburgh and headed off for a few days of family fun. I honestly didn’t want to leave Pittsburgh at the end of my trip, but I did feel so much better when I got back to my day to day life.
