Due to my misbegotten attempts at a normal sleeping schedule over the last few or so weeks I have become quite inconsistent in all kinds of areas of life. My journal-keeping habits have faltered a bit, which is kind of a "first" ever since I started keeping a journal in the first place. My eating habits are so lacking I am not sure they could even be called habits at all. I have been severely slacking on my homework, too, which in itself is not unusual... it is the homework that I enjoy doing that I am still slacking on, which is unusual. I will firmly point to the source of all of these issues at hand as the recent, and highly unexpected, loss of my job. Not to make an excuse but to make a point. I am terrible at dealing with dramatic, disappointing change in life.
I figured out, sometime within the last decade or so, that I have very poor skills at coping with stress in life. Growing up I pretty much did not have ANY stress of any significance pretty much ever so I never developed any normal or effective methods to coping with stress. All this means to mean now is that I need to pay better attention to the times in my life when stress can be considered an issue and I need to react better in the future. Preparation for such an occurrence is definitely a better way to go about things.
This all means that I need to start practicing real forms of useful stress relief. I am not actually sure what ways to go about this kind of thing so I guess I will simply have to start digging around in life with this idea in mind. At least a slightly elevated focus on purpose might help.
