Recognize a Pleasant stress

Ellen says: Right now , off the top of your head, would you rather spend today dashing around town to six different places or having the entire day to yourself to rest or read or do something peaceful? Almost everyone would choose the day of rest, because we know that running around town will be tiring and possibly aggravating.

But running around town to things for or with your family, is also an expression of your love and devotion to them. And while you will eventually need some time to yourself, you should recognize and value the tasks that are central to your family, and see them as more than the burdens and stresses of everyday life.

Stress is bad when its overwhelm you, or when it comes from activities you do not value. A little stress from your efforts dedicated to your family, however, can be a good thing.
