I've been told to consciously lay my tongue at the base of my mouth whenever I'm aware of clenching my jaw or grinding my teeth. It works. So does a massage or mani/pedi but for some idiotic reason health insurance doesn't cover either. <abbr><em>emma jamess last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PleasureNotes/~3/UoVB8EQ-t-g/" rel="nofollow">Pleasure Bouquets: Modest Desire</a></abbr></em> I do the same thing, constantly.

When I speak I get a little more snappish. I have to think to remind myself "I'm stressing out but it's no reason to be rude to other people, this is just making it all worse." If I just focus on not snapping at people and just getting through what I need to get through, it tends to take my mind off of whatever it is I'm stressing over...this is especially how I handle it at work. I don't stress too much at home, but when life in general sucks I know I handle it in unhealthy ways; I like my comfort foods. When I get overwhelmed, I tend to park my butt somewhere and inwardly panic and just not do a bloomin' thing even though I should be up doing something. Not the best ways to handle it, but I'm trying to work on it. <abbr><em>Michelles last blog post..<a href="http://themetamorph.com/?p=979" rel="nofollow">I feel like I should make up for this recent discovery by eating a second chocolate bar</a></abbr></em> When I’m stressing out my patience level diminishes greatly.
