Opinion

Has your closest friend or partner ever exhibited aggressive or unpleasant behavior? When you first met him, he was so tender; she was so kind. Now, after a time, you feel neglected or unappreciated.

Do you seem to be having the same scuffle and skirmish day in, day out? He feels controlled when you are simply trying to help or have your needs met. She ends up feeling rejected and abandoned.

You courageously try to get your point or views across to him, and he responds with mounting irritation. She answers you politely at first, but you feel entirely misunderstood. Why is communication so darn hard, you ask yourself?

Do you know what you think about really important matters? Did you choose the right career path? How did your childhood affect you? Are the answers possibly locked inside of you? You may feel as though you need to know everything immediately and never take the time to truly contemplate.

Okay, admit it. You have literally been scrolling on your phone for hours on end. You’re binge-watching shows yet again. Do you feel drained, overwhelmed by work, life, or your relationships?

Do you find yourself getting upset, disturbed, or distressed over the smallest things? Perhaps you know someone else who does. During times of stress, many of us have trouble restraining our emotions. The best way to reduce stress is to stop stressing about stress.
