Here’s What I Learned from Decompressing My Body From Stress
“It’s not how long you live, but how you live that’s important.”
The past few months were rough on me. I was working on a project that consumed my time. I hardly slept. Some days, I didn’t even shower.
I gave myself three months to complete the project so I could get back to my regular life. Unfortunately, the stress was too much for my body and I fell sick.
I only wrote three articles last month and barely read other people’s stories. My stats tanked drastically and so did my earnings.
However, I was more concerned about the mental damage the stress was doing to my body.
I would get edgy at any slightest mistake and yell at people at every provocation. It was as if I was losing the emotional discipline in dealing with conflicts.
So, I took the whole of June to decompress.
My body had been showing signs of stress for a while, but I ignored it. It wasn’t until I broke down and was forced to be on bed rest by my doctor that I knew how badly I was working myself.
Stress is such a bitch. And with the modern-day hustle wired environment, we can’t escape being stressed once in a while.
