Stress Management

I'm irritated... Last night right after I finished writing I got an email from Jose (at almost midnight). I wish I hadn't read it. Just when I thought I'd gotten a handle on all the trainings, schedule changes, certifications, requirements, etc. needed for my position at the Haselwood YMCA, something changes! They add in new trainings spur of the moment and expect total compliance. I'm trying to roll with the punches, but it's getting overwhelming. I know that eventually all of this will pass. They're just trying to ensure that everyone is 100% prepared for opening day. Everyone will be watching us to see if we excel or fail and we all want to excel. I understand this, really. I just want this crazy time to pass. I'm ready to get to work and be amazing at what I do!

Stress management is something I need to work on. My day-to-day life doesn't have all that much stress in it (other than minor child-related issues), but every now and then I get hit by a stress grenade that totally throws me off for days (like all this Haselwood stuff). Exercise and meditation. I love them both, but sometimes it's not enough. Or I'm not meditating right (which is very possible). Food for though. It gives me something to think about.

I'll be fine. I realize that other people in the world have problems greater than mine. If my biggest problem is training for a new job when so many don't have a job and can't find one, then life couldn't possibly be that bad :) I think I'll go to the gym now...
