Pressure Will Cook A Hamhock!

LOL! That's a funny way to describe pressure! How much pressure are you allowing yourself to endure? Pressures are issues cause a tremendous amount of  stress. They include work, school, your mate, children, finances, etc. Are you stressing about things that you have no control over? You do have a choice you know. Stress causes high blood pressure, migraines, neck and back pain, ulcers, and weight gain. Try focusing on the the solution and not the problem. I believe in the power of the pen. Writing down a plan or course of action to take to solve your problems can really help to open your eyes. My biggest stresses right now are my finances. I have written down both long and short term goals and how I plan to achieve them.  I have a written budget and a plan to become debt free. It may not happen over night but I will get the victory. The budgeting part becomes an issue when I see a pair of pumps that I feel that I just have to have. Rather than blowing my budget by adding another pair of black Nine West or Guess pumps to my shoe collection, I don't go shopping at all unless I have saved up for the item. I don't charge anything. I am guilty though of kind of shopping online. I fill my cart with items and then just log off. Thank goodness for faux retail therapy! :)
