April is National Stress Awareness month, and boy do I need it! I will be tweeting daily relaxations tips and quotes, trying some relaxation methods, and learning about the link between anxiety disorders like mine (OCD) and stress.
But why do we need to be “aware” on stress anyway? Well, just take a second and think about everything that you’ve done in the last 24 hours, and everything that you need to do in the next 24. I’ll wait…

A bit more than you realized, huh? Feeling a bit stressed about it?
Stress can be caused by anything from daily life, mental issues, your environment, or life experiences. Well, I’m not going to tell you that you shouldn’t feel the pressure. Stress is a natural phenomenon. As a matter of fact, stress can actually be helpful–it’s like a trigger to let you know that something is wrong. Some people take it as motivation.
The problem isn’t the stress itself; the problem is acknowledging that you are stressed, why you are stressed, and how to handle it.
So this month make sure to take some time to figure out why you maybe feeling stressed out, and figure out a plan to deal with it.
