12 ways to know you’re doing ok
- You breathe deeply when you realise you are so tense you forgot to breathe.
- You get so frustrated that you laugh.
- You get the urge to move when you are stressed. Walking, running, even punching (a punching bag or pillow) are good ways to move you from a stressful state to a better one.
- You want to walk away when you feel like you are going in circles.
- You have shown super-human patience at least once in your life.
- When you’re seething you know just who to call to calm you down. And you have them on speed dial.
- You find time to help a mate out, even when you’re so busy you forget to go to the bathroom.
- You have the self control to be pleasant to the checkout-chick even when you are having the worst day ever.
- You immediately apologise when you snap at friends and colleagues because you are stressed.
- You can keep your cool long enough not to call your boss/parents/friend an asshole to their face.
- You have the presence of mind not to shop, get married or make any big decisions when you’re angry or frustrated.
- When you are in your darkest moment… you walk on because you recognise that it will pass.
