RE: Steemians' Stress Survival Guide
Hi! @insight-out
The posts that you created about how to deal with stress are interesting, I will take the time to read them.
In the situation in which we Venezuelans live on a daily basis, we must learn to deal with stress or else we will end up crazy. In fact, a psychiatrist's nurse once told me that the number of patients with mental problems and nervous breakdown had increased.
Above all now, when the electricity goes out all the time added to that the heat, the lack of water, imagine!
Many of us also take refuge in religions.
I found myself dealing with stress through reading, literally speaking. I started reading a book.
An interesting story about a cave clan. I made reading more enjoyable by integrating my whole family, reading aloud, each one of us.
The story is very entertaining.
Although it's a fictional story, I can't help but think that similar clans could have existed. Those people lived off what they harvested and hunted. A hard life, but it was their life, simple and humble.
They thought less than we think, maybe it's the problem, too many thoughts in our head. The level of information we face every day grows. And they saturate our minds.
Maybe the experience we live here will lead us to a better evolution. Well, as we say here, what doesn't kill us will strengthen us.
Thanks for sharing your analysis
Hello, @jadams2k18! Thanks for stopping by! I also enjoy watching movies and documentaries about people from the past and their way of life. It gives me insights about the important things that I should value more in life. However, watching a movie is definitely not that powerful experience as reading a book out loud to your family. You have found a fantastic way to bond and be together in the difficult times that your country and nation are facing! Don't give up on that!
I hope everything comes back to its place soon. Although things will never be the same in your country, new opportunities will come and new horizons will open sooner or later!
Thanks for your kind words
