When the stress hit's I think about the fact that soon I will be on my way home in my S2K or where I am going to drive this weekend and all is OK.
Last week I went to Angel Park Speedway to see my buddy run his vintage Sprint car. What a great ride out there for me. The next day I went to Chicago Motor Speedway and drove one of the Driving 101 Cart series cars, what a thrill. I had many people talk to me about my Formula Red even the pit mechanic. The buzz never stops.
So when I feel stress I think how lucky I am to be one of about 8,000 people in the USA to own one of these babies.

I don't get stressed. And I don't understand why others do as well......

Getting stressed doesn't change the outcome of what is going on, it just makes things crap until then.

Just sit back and let things wash over you, at the end of the day the same crap will happen in the end whether you were stressed or relaxed!

Well that's my way of dealing with things anyway....

Stress can be worrying about things you have no control over. Since you have no control over it, then there's nothing you can do about it. Just focus on the best way to handle the negative outcome, and accept the fact that you'll take a loss of sorts.

3 bleeding ulcers in my 28 years, I'm a little stressed. But your right it's all me, I don't talk about my problems, and I hold everything inside untill I explode once a month in a fit of fury. Then the cycle begins again.
The stupid thing is, I open up more to you guys in this forum, then to any of the girlfriends I've had in the past. Pretty pathetic eh?

Shit, Now I'm all stressed again.

sometimes when i am stressed, i just think that i can go to sleep not worrying the roof of my house would be blown away, not worrying waking up on the street, not worrying my next meal ....

and i am happy to know that i can get out of the bed by myself, i can talk, listen, hear, and look and coordinate my body to do the things i want to, like driving my s2000 and not wait for a bus under the sun, in the rain or snow ........

the only thing i am stressed is when can i learn how to sing beautifully ..... *sigh .... all the money i spent in karaoke aint helping ........

Life is like jumping out of an airplane with no parachute.

You can worry and scream and cry the whole way down.
Or
You can enjoy the view.


My suggestion: Enjoy the view... it keeps life simple.
