After reading about what happened in our last discussion in class what would seem like the next best things that we could talk about? IF you thought it would be about dealing with stress, especially on the family level you would be right. One of the neat parts about this week was we talked about and really broke down what you might have thought and where those different thought came from. It’s important during times like this that we do take a minute to stop and recognize where the different thoughts came from. Doing this will allow us to asses where we really are at and what we might need to be doing! It’s interesting because during this conversation Bro. Williams taught us, and it makes perfect sense, that the brain is hard wired to protect life. What a beautiful thing to realize that it is our body’s conscious choice to stay alive and protect that. Likewise you have to realize how far a person must go in order to think about making a decision in the opposite. We continued to talk about the different ways to cope . . . and either we draw together or pull apart. Obviously from most successful to least was things draw together, or use alcohol and drugs. At least this is what we were able to discuss with or time in class. It really makes me stop and think about all the different things that I start to stress over and really it sounds crazy but it already has helped even with little things.
