5 Things That Happen When You Stop Stressing So Much

It can be a difficult task to stay on track with things, especially when you have a crazy schedule. The pressure adds up, and the overwhelming stress might begin to feel constant.

 Eventually, all of those hectic days and hurried deadlines will get you to where you need to be. From what I've learned through my own experiences, here are five great things that happen when they start to pay off.

1.) You start to become more and more productive.
I have definitely had the tendency to procrastinate when it comes to important tasks and due dates for my responsibilities. Lately, I've (thankfully) been a lot better about staying on top of everything that I have to do, and it feels nice to be so productive without feeling like I'm procrastinating my life away. This is definitely one way to lessen stressful thinking.

2.) Stress doesn't last forever.
Even when it seems like it won't ever go away, the stress will end eventually. Once everything evens out and the mounds of work and deadlines decrease a bit, things start to get a bit better and you get used to the work. If you're in a position where you really don't think that you can handle everything, it might be time to let go of some commitments.

 3.) The path for your future becomes clearer.
Everything that you've been working so hard for will come together when it's meant to. If it doesn't seem like it they will right now, give it time. The future becomes a much brighter place when you achieve enough goals to shed some light on it.

4.) You start to feel a lot more comfortable with everything.
If you had asked me a few months ago how everything was going in life, I probably would have referred to the picture that I added as the image for this post. However, somewhere along the way, everything began to fall into place and became a lot easier.

5.) It pays off.
Getting everything on the same track and getting used to overcoming stressful situations can be a rocky road, but ultimately, it's rewarding. When all is said and done, you can look back and remember how hard you worked to get where you are.

5 Things You Should Stop Worrying About Right Now

Life gets hectic. There's no way around responsibilities, no matter what that word might mean to you. Meetings, classes, deadlines, relationships, obligations, events, work - everything adds up. It's difficult to keep from constantly thinking about such matters, but here's a list of just a few things that aren't worth worrying about. Life is too short to be concerned with little issues.

1.) How you look for the day.
The truth of the matter is that nobody actually cares what you look like or what you're wearing. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in and what you think looks good. Wear as little or as much makeup as your heart desires. Don't feel like doing your hair? Awesome. Feel like making it look extra special? Sounds wonderful. Try out new patterns and prints to spice things up.


2.) Comparing yourself to others.
Everyone is different, and that's a fact of life. No two people are the same, which means that not everyone is going to look the same or have the same skill sets as each other. Find your passion and hold onto it. Grow through it, and show the world what you have to offer.

3.) Petty arguments.
You're not always going to get along with everybody, especially if you're particularly close with them. Instead of letting such disagreements stress you out, keep in mind that things will more than likely be cleared up soon. Chances are, you'll look back on this and laugh.

4.) Making a mistake.
Sometimes, we screw up without even realizing it. Making mistakes is human nature, and they are there to help us learn from them. Don't be so hard on yourself, because there are always plenty of opportunities to try again.

5.) Over thinking.
I am perhaps the biggest culprit when it comes to over thinking about things. I think of situations in my head and play out every possible scenario that could come from it. I manage to think of every thing I might have done wrong to explain why I haven't gotten a call from someone yet, what the future holds, etc. Lately, I've been finding that this is one of the biggest wastes of time. Life is meant to enjoy the little moments, and not to dwell on the non-existent ones. One step at a time is all we can take.
