For the past week, nothing has seemed to work out for me the way I've expected. Between work, school, other commitments, and trying to get enough sleep, there's to be a never-ending ball of stress pinning me down. Everything has been adding up, so things that aren't typically stressful to me, suddenly are.

Now, I don't know a whole lot about astronomy but I've just been praying that something is in retrograde.

1. Get more sleep

When I'm the most stressed, it's usually because I didn't sleep well or sleep enough. After having a good night's rest, I feel much better and ready to tackle whatever problem I need to. It's important to get enough sleep in order for your body to recuperate

2. Work out

When I'm at my breaking point, I try to head to the gym. Even if I don't have a large amount of time, getting a quick workout or jog takes some stress off my shoulders.

3. Talk to someone

Talking to someone and working out the issue, or even if it's a five-minute vent session, can make you feel a lot better. You may solve the issue or have someone you can depend on to help you get to the solution. I'm always quick to call my boyfriend or big when I'm dealing with a stressful situation. It's nice having someone who can understand what you're going through or just be there to support you.

4. Take control

Change the things you can take control of and accept what you can't change. I try to not get overwhelmed by what I can't change. This is one of those things where you just have to suck it up and deal with it. It's not going to get done by sitting

and worrying over it.
