Stress

"Quotidian"

From: A response to a new book about how stress and health conditions in a pregnant woman's life affect fetal development Stress is a fact of life indeed, but one can alter his lifestyle to be able to cope this. Having a positive disposition in life can also help minimize stress. In my situation right now where ricocheting emotions are present due to hormonal imbalance, I tend to worry too much. I panicked a lot of times, what if I can't make it? What if my baby looks like this or like that? Another stressful thing is when you open your mind widely and think about the baby's future and think of so many possibilities. I need to have my own house, my own car, sufficient savings for my baby's education. It's a big world out there. It is just way too stressful.  Stress is something one can't avoid yet can be managed. I should stop thinking too much, I should stop panicking and do something relaxing. Listening to Mozart has been a habit since unborn likes to listen to classical music. We both read the Holy Bible which made me a little contemplative. I also spent times outside the house for a fresh air, it is sometimes suffocating to just lie snugly on your bed and wait for your  instinctive unconsciousness. Now here's one thing I have learned while smashing on the keyboard while waiting for the rain to stop, "one step at a time." Smile Smile Smile. Life is a beauty. Being stressed out is ugly.
