Stress Dissipates with Action
I can feel stress naturally dissipate as I get work done. As I accomplish tasks that I know need to be completed, I feel a sense of peace. Not total peace, but a feeling of assurance that I'm headed in the right direction.
Stress seems to accumulate when things are left undone. The simple act of completing something, anything, can tamper our uneasiness. This may be well known, but sometimes we must learn it for ourselves.
The key is to take action, do something, complete a small, menial task. We will feel lighter and more prepared to tackle the next thing.
