This quote just made me chuckle. You guys don’t know this about me…but Fab and my mom will tell you, I am one of those people that completely stresses out about every. little. thing. Literally, I am always stressed…I’m kind of a control freak…ya know, I don’t like feeling out of control of any aspect of my life, and when I feel like I’m not in control, the anxiety sets in and I start stressin…
I’m also a workaholic, which inevitably leads to stress. I have this irrational fear of being broke. My family didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up…we weren’t poor, but there wasn’t a lot of disposable income. So, I started working when I was in 16, and never looked back. I’m addicted to the sense of control and independence that comes with working. I don’t think I’ve been without a job for more than a week in 16 years. In the back of my mind, I guess I just feel like if I just keep on working as hard as I possibly can, I’ll always be okay. On the one hand, I have incredible work ethic…and that’s a good thing…but the downside is I just don’t know how to turn it off. There is always a looming fear that if I take a break, something will fall through…and I’ll be broke. Lol! See, I told you…it’s kind of irrational.
This quote was a humorous reminder that half the things I’m always stressin’ about are totally made up in my head. So ladies, today’s bit of wisdom is plain and simple…don’t stress…
