B.L.A.S.T.

Bored
Lonely
Angry
Stressed
Tired

I heard today that these are the most common ailments that face my peers. I can certainly relate. I think to that so many of them are a choice though - which is not to discount the validity of people's feeling. I just mean...I've felt all of those things -who hasn't?- but when I make a conscious and concerted effort to change my perspective those things pass away...or at least get smaller and more manageable.

But sometimes life sucks and that's real.

But it's certainly not permanent. I really believe that all of our hardships are for our good if we let them strengthen us.

So let's see what we can do to help others feel less bored, lonely, angry, stressed, or tired - because we've all been there...and hopefully in the meantime we'll feel less of those things ourselves.
