Monday Mental Health Check In Feeling Relaxed

I can watch the news again and not have my blood pressure go through the roof.

There is not the scandal of the day.

The government is working again kinda sorta. Yes, there are still obstructionists and whiners not making this easy but there is a feeling of hope.

And that takes my stress level way down.

We had some other stressors add last week that are gone now.

My body appreciates it a lot.

I miss kickboxing. I loved the activity and punching the heck out of the bag.

I know part of the reason I have made it to this point without having a total collapse is the walks that Caroline and I have taken and the exercise we have gotten.

I think having a job helps my mental health because it gives me other things to think about.

I am better than last week and I hope to feel even better next week.

I am grateful that I can watch the news again.
