You can do it. Sometimes it takes a while to let go of old feelings and emotions that we tend to bottle up inside of us. It dosen't always happen overnight. I don't feel as tense and uptight as I use to when I kept a lot of anger and resentment inside. Accepting my situation the way it was instead of setting unrealistic goals took off a lot of stress.
Goals can be great.
Sometimes stress can be directed into a positive thing, like writing a book or journal, or even taking on a small project. For me, it was writing local area hospitals and asking them to accommodate the Chemically Sensitive. 7 have created some form of policy locally. This Fall will mark the two years that this goal has been underway. Decisions often seemed to hang by a string.
