I'm convinced that stress is what will ultimately take me down. I've survived tumors, and cancer, and broken bones....but the stress is what really causes pain. And I'm all too familiar with staying tense. Half the time my muscles feel like rocks. If I get a massage, I hurt for weeks and weeks. And that makes us so much more prone to hurting ourselves. And that's why I drink wine....to relax a little. 😜

I wish I had good advice for you, but I haven't figured out a good way to manage my stress. I feel better if I work out, mainly lifting weights or hitting a heavy bag...but when the stress gets the better of me, I just shut down and can't do anything.

I'm sending hugs and relaxation to you!!! 😘🍷🤗
