How am I managing my stress? I'm not... Just kidding, I like to think I'm managing at least a little. I've been running some more which is helpful. I think. I'm not absolutely positive that the idea of cross country itself hasn't stressed me out more than I would be otherwise, but the actual running part is nice.
Honestly, some of my calmest moments are driving. It can be very stress-relieving for me to just listen to the radio and drive around, preferably with the windows down and the heat up. I'm not entirely sure why, but I just really enjoy it, and it helps my mental state. Not that I just drive around with no place to go, but I do relish in the time I spend going places. I know a lot of people just want to get there and would probably teleport if they had the option, but not so much me. I just really like driving.
Also just music alone is nice. In general, music tends to put me in a better mood. Though I usually prefer the variety of radio, I recently have gotten really into Hamilton. Either way I sing along to everything and it rarely fails to lift my spirits. It gets my mind off of things -- super duper helpful.
I try to not get to stressed out about things. I try to be level-headed and accepting of things I can't change. And though I think I do a decent job sometimes, I also know I cancer pretty worked up. So I sing and drive and hang out with my family, and all in all I've yet to have a complete psychotic breakdown.
