stress

Workplace stress is real, and very high in Texas

38 mugshots of individuals arrested and booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center during the week of October 23 - October 29, 2023.

The holidays can make you happy...or drive you to your depths. Help yourself enjoy them!

If you, or someone you know, is feeling overwhelmed, there's help available.

My daughter went to Las Vegas a couple weeks ago and I was checking out some of the stuff she was doing on her Snapchat stories. I was having fun living through all the fun she was having.

Nothing is worse than waking up on the wrong side of the bed. That just starts your day off in the worst way possible. Those are the mornings that drivers on I40 seem to cut you off. You can't handle it. You just want to get to your job Downtown as soon and as with as little drama as possible.

Do you miss those days of being a child and having a stress free life? I mean the biggest concerns we had was getting our homework done or trying to avoid a nap!

If 2020 showed us anything it is how stressed we are these days. We need to learn to control that but it can be hard. We are missing out on sleep. We are missing out on a lot of good for us things. We don't get out as much with our family and friends because of stress.

Do you find your mornings really stressful? I mean I can only imagine between worrying about what your day has in store for you. You have to also add in the stress of having the kiddos and hoping they are ready.

Of course we are coming off of what has to be the most stressful year ever. Even if you managed to make it through with your job we all still had things that stressed us out. We worried about us or a family member getting sick.

Not even seven days in, and I'm already exhausted thanks to the barrage of bad news.

The fact that 2020 has been such a challenging year is nothing new. As we are getting closer to wrap it up we still have to remember we have things to be thankful for as well. Even though we have had a lot of ups and downs this year. We have had loved ones die, we have had people get sick, we have had major milestones canceled. We have all had stuff change for us.
