Stressed?
I'm one of life's naturally stressed people. Always worrying whether or not I'm going to meet a deadline, struggling to deal with people at work, etc etc.
Well, i may have found one solution. I've stopped wearing a watch. Now, in addition to the above, I'm also one of life's watch-wearers. To leave the house without it on Wednesday was a real struggle. I felt uncomfortable all the way to work, and tried to check my watch about every 5 minutes. This made me realise I am always looking at my watch. So, i tried again on Thursday and again today. I feel wonderful. I still feel a little weird without it on my wrist, but I also feel like a weight has literally been lifted from my shoulders. I no longer care if I'm 5 minutes late for something. I have a clock on my PC and on the wall at work so i can still tell the time but the release is wonderful.
Lets see if I can do without it tomorrow, which is incidentally the day of my brother's wedding, a stressful occasion if ever there was one.
So, if you feel stressed at work constantly, go ahead, try it.
Due the the wedding, practically zero blogage Sat or Sun. Have a great weekend.
Formal identification of the body tomorrow. Alistair Campbell is flying back the UK instead of going to Japan with Tone.
(hmm, thinking about upgrading the blog so i can include piccies, we'll see)
