Stress – We have all felt the full weight of this word pressed upon us by countless sources, doctors, spouses, coworkers, life. What many of us feel in our bones but don’t acknowledge to ourselves is that we carry around the cumulative stress of our lives and it wears us down. The prior four months of my life have lead me to the my current state of being, depressed. Not clinically but more in the sense of metaphysical weight on my shoulders. My course of action to resolve this current state is to make changes. I’m changing where I work (building a home office) and how I work. I’m hiring a personal trainer and making an appointment to see a therapist. I’ve already had a physical and I spoken extensively about my change plan with my wife. Without her support, none of this change would have even a slight chance of success. It’s funny, just writing about all this change has helped to lighten the weight, even if just slightly.
