Seeking an honest answer What pressure and stress are you currently feeling?
Today I take advantage of this question from @galenkp to drain a little stress of these last months, I felt it could be a good way to channel what I am experiencing for some time and make a simple pause to answer such an important question.
The truth is that the most obvious or common answers jump out among those first answers such as: economy, country situation, concern for the children, work stress, family pressures, health, home situations or with material goods, among others, but in my case, these would only be justifications for the real cause that is more in the background.
A few months ago I had to go for a consultation with a neurologist, it turns out that I am getting some strong currents in my head that worried me because they were becoming more intense and followed, the internist and neurosurgeon insisted me that it was a nerve issue that had to do with my cervical condition, but I wanted to seek another opinion to make sure that with these currents my neurons were not burning!
Well, the neurologist examined me, saw my tests and came to the same conclusion as the internist and the neurosurgeon, however, he went a little further and told me: "I think you have anxiety or masked stress", which made me very impressed and almost laughed because in my mind I said "am I stressed? ... no way". He sent me some medication and after 3 months I went back to his consultant.
During that time I have been reflecting on the subject, in my case, I realize that being so used to being a multitasking girl, handling work under pressure and having certain life tools such as biodance, meditation, taichi among others, make me be in a state of apparent "calm", in which it seems that everything is under control, however, the body signals do not lie and definitely what happens in my spine and my brain are claiming me something.
So, to this question from @galenkp: What pressure and stress do you currently feel, I would say that my biggest pressure and stress is myself and my determination to try to be everywhere at once, I recognize that I am like the robot in the cartoon of the supersonics, and although this is not a novelty because I have always been like that, it is now that my body gives me signals in which clearly tells me "it doesn't have to be like that anymore".
I guess the difficult part of all this is to realize that there will be things that I will have to stop or put on pause, and many others in which I will have to look for ways in which I can rely on that great network of family and friends who are very attentive to give me a hand, and most importantly: TRUST, trust that life also supports me and not abrogate that role of wanting to support everyone's life, as it can definitely be a very heavy burden to carry, or at least quite stressful for me.
This has been my response to the approach of this one:
