Unlike most people, I mostly fail to acknowledge that I'm stressed out. I guess that's how it's always been since I was a kid. But as I grew older, I started to watch the patterns to figure out when I'm stressed. Let me share the signs:
- The first thing that helped me identify that i'm stressed was obviously when someone pointed it out. Say my mum , sis or bro tell me 'not to take my stress out on them'. To which I usually deny I'm stressed in the first place.
-The second thing was when I started to notice that i get worked out on a completely different subject. So instead of worrying about an exam or a deadline, I would obsess about how I must trim my hair or need to loose weight. The subject of my obsession would immediately disappear as soon as I got the stress element out of the way.
- a third way which is more severe is physical realization. I would still deny that I'm stressed by my migraines would give me away. In these cases, we just pray to God to release the stress, cause the migraine doesn't just disappear when the problem is over.
- the most advanced technique is what I do nowadays. I'd know that a particular issue would cause most people to stress out while my own reaction would be total nonchalance. Meaning, that when I have an important demo tomorrow for example, I'd be totally relaxed, running errands, and sitting here in a queue at the bank blogging. I call it 'The Complete Denial Strategy' and so far, it's been working really well for me! I highly recommend it!
