Stress! I Have To Beat It

So, just a few days ago I was walking down the street with my family. My husband said something that  pissed me off. Bang! Just like that my heart started fluttering. It wasn't even something that I would have noticed, but because of my bodies reaction I got even more angry. I had to slowly walk and consciously try to bring down the stress level. By the time we got to METRO I thought I was going to drop dead. And maybe I was, but somehow, I was at the store I saw a juicer. I didn't really plan on buying one right there, but maybe it was meant to be. My mom says there are angels watching over me.

This is what I know. At 37 ( almost 38), I'm not done impacting this world or my children. I'm not going to go without a fight. So I'm done with Starbucks, I'm juicing everyday, and I need to get off my but and exercise. I will do some yoga before I go to bed. So my stress levels are high, its due to work, kids, diet, and my relationship with my husband. My goal is to reduce all unnecessary stress in my life and then clearly reevaluate what I value and what is important to me. Work was great today. It's finals week, and I had no final exam, so I got some necessary planning done.

If I can change my diet, my exercise habits I should be fine. But otherwise I'm on track for high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks. I can see now how over the years these problems can sneak up on you. And I'm hear to talk about it. I wonder how many people feel like me and just keep pushing forward.

If you have ever felt like me with that fluttering in your chest, let me know. I'll tell you how much the juicing is impacting how I feel.
