Finances On My Mind

Thu, Sep 18, 2008 11:09 AM

I have been trying to save my nickels and dimes thinking about buying a house, I am getting just a little bit concerned that maybe we are not ready yet. I guess between that and school and the kids, I am getting just a little over the top worrying. I have noticed that all the stress has me eating more than I should and sleeping more than I should, which would probably be fine if I hadn’t completely stopped exercising over the past week and that I can tell you is going to be the death of me. Stress is 10 times worse if you don’t exercise, so trust me I need to get back on track and honestly I need to get my stress level down, so I took a ride to the health food store and got some nutritional supplements and some natural health products, because I always feel better when I am taking good care of my body. It is so great when your body is functioning well, I just can’t tell you. Anyway, I came home from the health food store and took my supplements and got some exercise and did some meditation and told myself that I am going to stay calm and relaxed. It worked for a little while, but then I felt myself getting tense again, so I left my hubby with the kids and went out for a jog to try and release that tension, and it really did help. When I came home I got distracted with taking care of the kids and baths and bedtime. Then I had some work to do for school and so I did that. When all was said and done, I crashed about 10:30pm and slept straight through til morning. Keeping your body sound can really help keep your mind sound too. Hopefully I will feel better after we meet with the financial counselor next week and get some of these issues ironed out. They just keep nagging at me and the truth is that I just don’t have the time to be sitting around worrying; I have way too many things to do. So I will just have to keep stress proofing my body by eating right and exercising until things get a little more settled.
