A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Prompt:
What drains your energy in your life? And in what ways can you stay grounded in stressful situations?

------

In my life, right now, things getting broken or not working properly drain my energy. I'm not a handyman, so it is quite disturbing to not know where the trouble is. I mean if it is a small appliance or something it is easily replaceable. When it has to do with the plumbing, AC or things like that, I'm at a loss. Then, of course, managing money is also on the table, which I have gotten quite good at, but it still is a source of stress.

Normally, I try to fix most anything if I can, or I try tp find someone to do it for me. If the culprit is not fixable, I try to steer my mind away from such situations.

I guess not taking care of one's physical and emotional needs may have an effect on the energy drain, mostly. I believe, I manage better in such areas than I do with plumbing. Then, with most folks overcommitting with activities or responsibilities can add to their energy-drain, same as unresolved issues and past hurts knocking on memory's door. Negative relationships and family issues can drain a person's energy, too.

Luckily, at the moment, my stress is only the result of the AC's thermostat, which I am sure, will be taken care of soon by the handyman who is going to arrive sometime during the week. I just hope the weather complies.
