Don't Be Stressed Be Logical

With age comes stress. It's a thing that affects us all in some way or the other. No matter how chilled you are there will be something tiny that's scratching at the back door of your mind. 

When Twenty One Pilots dropped their single 'Stressed Out' it was real. Everything about the song is basically how I feel every day. Sometimes it would be so rad to go back to being a kid, riding around the neighbourhood ringing door bells or building tree houses. My neightbour and I built some sweet tree houses!  

Look, I'm quite the optimist as much as it annoys some people. But I truly believe that you can overcome stress with a few simple acts. 

First you need to stop everything. Stop thoughts stop actions, just stop everything around you for a second.
Secondly, take a step back as if you're in a cyberspace movie where you can view your surroundings from outside of you. Point out the stressed and list them.

Then pioritise. Something will always be more important so start with that.

At this point maybe turn on some music that will calm you a little and make you feel relaxed. Panic is not the ideal situation for stressful situations.

Take that list, and slowly find solutions. Be they big or small you'll know what's right. Think about the journey and the outcome and before you know it you'll realise that some every day stresses are simple problems you never really took the time to lay out. 

If you felt the realness of Twenty One Pilots please do download their latest album 'Blurryface' here. It's my top album of 2015, hands down. 

Life is life, we just have to live it. More often than not our stresses are things we can easily get rid of. We're just too busy to stop and think. So stop. And think.
