Handling Stress


How do I handle stress? I clean, clean and clean. I love cleaning. In fact, my most favorite home cleaning tool is the vacuum cleaner. Oh, I love my vacuum cleaner. It sucks away all the dirt on the floor, on the table, on Khadijah (sometimes) and well, on almost anything.

I get a weird sense of happiness when I can vacuum and polish. Its almost like I am vacuuming and polishing my stress away. That is until, the dusts settles in again, and/or hubby dearest decides to put a cold glass on the dining table without a coaster. Water markkkk!!!!! errgghhhh! Stressed again! Lovingly (with evil eyes on hubby) wipes the watermark away, and place coaster under the glass.

Anyway, life would be a bore without stress. I am glad for the stress I get. Well, okay, not really. But it does help me grow and try to be a less stressed out person. Some other ways I destress includes, cooking, reading, sleeping and hugging Khadijah.

The best way is of course to take the wuduk and recite the Quran. If all fails, He knows how to calm us down.
