the mess of stress

Can you believe January 2012 is pretty much over? 
I'm looking forward to a new month because January ended up being...not my favorite.  
I feel like I was stressed out every single day and turned into a worry wort. Bad things kept happening. And the weird thing was when I recognized bad things happening I would focus on that and the little things started to affect me too. Does that ever happen to you?  Simple little things wouldn't go right and I would freak out. 
 Luckily husband is amazing at dealing with helping me whenever I get in these moods where I imagine the universe hates me. He'll say something funny or make me brownies or do a silly dance to make me laugh and snap me out of it. 
That's the bummer with the New Year for me; you're pumped about new beginnings and have high expectations for an awesome year and then the first month is kinda sucky. I'm constantly reminding myself that one month does not equal the whole year. 
And thankfully, things are starting to look up and work itself out. These past couple of days have been really good.
Some helpful things I learned this month:
*Complaining does nothing. It only brought negative energy and left me in a terrible mood. 
*When you're in a bad mood: take a deep breath, think about all the good things in your life, and breath out. 
*I believe the energy you give is the energy you receive. 
*Hugs work wonders. So does coffee. And wine. 
*Stop worrying. Just enjoy your life and live. 


How do you deal with stress?
