Anxiety and Stress: It Takes The Cake

When the communication has broken down between you and your spouse or partner, or anyone, I advise you to bake a cake.

You can literally bake the physical cake or have a special peace offering that you know the other person likes and would recognize as an icebreaker to further conversation.

Anxiety and stress between people can make you forget what is important in that relationship and if you wait too long to find your way back to them it gets difficult to reach out and you feel like it may be too late to get the relationship repaired.

Repaired is a good word to describe what needs to be done because emotions and the actions resulting from these emotions can cause damage to all involved.

Taking that step to reach out regardless of who began the lack of communication or what the circumstances were can make you feel scared, panic stricken, anxious and vulnerable.

I baked a cake once and ended up throwing it at the wall because I was so frustrated. This happened over 20 years ago and I can still see that cake flying across the room. I see the humor in it now but at the time my emotions and not knowing how to handle them made for many stressful events in a relationship I had.

I did not feel that I was in control of myself and I felt a lack of control in the relationship so I figured out that throwing the cake was an action resulting from other unresolved issues and not just about what was happening in the moment.

When all this was taking place I had lost my job due to an injury, I was having parenting challenges, there were financial issues and I found out that I was feeling the affects of low self-esteem.

These situations were under the surface of my understanding and I was not able to see the deeper issues I was suffering from.

The desire to understand and the need to get the feeling of self-control back into my life, led me on the journey for knowledge.

After talking to psychologists, a good friend who is a nurse and making positive changes in my life such as going back to work at a different job, meeting new friends and getting help with child rearing by taking some classes, I started to see and feel the changes in my mind and body.

Taking care of yourself and getting what you need is important in building a strong core for your mind. Having the inner fuel or gasoline to keep moving forward meets the needs to be fed mentally and physically.

Recognizing that perhaps you need help from outside sources, taking the help you get and using it for your own mental health is a positive step in self-help.

Anxiety and stress ignored can snowball into other issues that feed off of the weakened state of your mind. There are many organizations, books, programs, doctors or friends that can help when you are ready to recognize and accept the resources available.

Self-awareness is so important when you are on the road to recovery. Listen to the inner voice inside yourself and if it says lets make peace, bake a cake. You will know that you are ready to make changes that will benefit you and those around you.

There are no cake recipes in the book mentioned in the link below,however there is something much better for you. There is a way that will help eliminate anxiety so that the suffering you are going through can finally be thrown away.

I am interested in hearing how well you are doing. Send your comments along for me to read. I am thankful and want you to succeed. Do this for yourself because I know you do so much for everyone else.
