Getting Rid of Stress

Stress is not good for me, or anyone for that matter, because it may be a huge factor in triggering a recurrence. So, I am reducing the stress factors in my life.

First, I got rid of the biggest stress of my life – my job at MPFC! Hooray! Good riddance. I also got rid of having to work with the most evil person I know in my life.

On the new job, the stress level is okay. Hell, compared to the previous job, this job is calming! People here have respect for and are decent to each other. No underhanded tactics just to get ahead or just to look good for the moment with the higher ups. Breathing is a lot easier and there’s no more elephant sitting on my chest when I wake up each morning.

I now work in Makati. I commute to and from work, a tricycle ride from home to the MRT station; then the MRT; and finally, another jeep ride to the office. To unwind, I would walk from the office to the MRT station on my way home (it’s too hot to walk from the station to the office in the morning), then, the MRT ride, and another tricycle ride (by this time, I am too tired to walk home from the MRT station – I have so many excuses, no?).

After dinner and washing up, I would relax, by listening to my neighbors sing – Haha! Kidding! I would either watch compiled TV series on DVD or bake (when there are orders), or both.

Weekends would be spent on cleaning house, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and an occasional meet up with friends. Quite domesticated, am I not?

Mental note to me: I should incorporate in watching movie – it’s been one of my tricks in de-stressing.
