I haven't been coping with stress well lately, but today I feel a lot better. When I'm over-whelmed, it's hard to focus and sometimes it's even hard to meditate. I find the best thing to do is just wait it out, making sure to get plenty of exercise and a good night's sleep. There must be a better way, though-- I feel like so many days that could have been productive and interesting are lost to my need to just deal with too much stress!
