Things you can do when stressed

Its another day. Like routine, I battle in the Colosseum in my chariot on the road to work, furiously trying to save as many seconds as I can, like I've have dropped my marbles in primary school and every kid is trying to steal one of my speckled eggs or tombowlers. As soon as I step through the sliding doors that greet me, I can feel the burden of the day begin to intensify.

Had the important steering committee meeting today. Big bosses sticking their chests out, all in the one room, and then me, the junior minnow, trapped in the burning spotlight. My 2 expresso shots and a smart energy drink helped me to drop into the pleasant daydreaming refuge on only a handful of occasions, but really it was the desperate need to use the bathroom that kept me going. The hardest thing in that meeting wasn't trading verbal punches or going against the grain, it was by far the effort required to be upstanding at the close of the meeting with a rapidly maturing 9 month old water foetus.

Some people find strength in role models, others find it in failure or experiences. Today I got mine out of circumstance. Understand that I have not put in a solid workout at the gym since the end of last year. Run out of time to explain - so will let the picture paint the words. Over and out
