Don't let stress overwhelm you

[Soundchaser 0]

I could say I've had a quite stressful week with things such as starting an awfully busy university semester, catching my dad smoking when I always thought he quit, and some social life situations.

Now, I could say my stress dimmed a bit, but I am sneezing and could get a cold (I rarely get sick, it's usually because of stress) and I got 2 zits (one being a small cyst) in my lip just when I'm having a very promising date tomorrow.

Stress can be good for reacting in situations, but if you let it go too far, not only do you feel fatiged after the stressor goes away, but the contributions to your health, your mood, your skin, and your life can be quite major. I know it's common knowledge, but I just wanna remind you... "The Power of the Mind"

I haven't complained of a zit since 2005, but damn, 2 zits on the lips on a date could work against me in the possiblity of a goodbye kiss. Frickin' stress.
