Over the last few years, I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with stressful situations. Individually, I can deal with them but when it repeatedly occurs and over a long period of time it burns me out to the point where I’m no longer capable managing it. Just like an otherwise healthy person can eventually get diabetes with bad life choices, i do believe chronic stress can break a person’s stress response on a fundamental level
Anyway,
- Constant outside noises, which is why i got the fuck out of cities and live in a quiet suburb
- Family drama. They are well aware to no longer drag me into their immature, emotional bullshit and that they need to get a handle on their own preventable problems or I do give them the silent treatment. Just dont have the energy
- SOs who are simply too annoying and energy draining to deal with. In my mid 30s, I dumped a woman for shrewing out and wanting to do stuff all of the time and demanding my attention. No I’m not going to get up at 7 am on a Saturday just to go see some stupid shit they want to see. I’ve been working all week, tired, and want to sleep in. No I’m not dealing with too many unecessary, irrational emotional outbursts. Grow the fuck up
- Difficult people in general. If we don’t vibe or there’s not alignment or communication and style, I minimize my time with you. I will not do business with you unless you’re trustworthy and easy to work with
- Keep time and financial obligations to a minimum
- Zero tolerance for work bullshit. If management tries anything and annoys me instead of leaving me in peace to do my job, I always remind them I have options. If it gets too bad i just leave than deal with dumb entitled boomers. All i want is stability and autonomy and i can do the bulk of the work. Don’t fuck it up by uneccessarily interfering with your braindead ideas
- reduce time spent on social media and news. It’s designed to stress you out and the overflow of information is
Eat healthy and workout a few times per week
This was all born out of necessity otherwise I’d probably have an ulcer by now
