Being in college has been quite the journey. It has taught me some things, but one thing it has taught me that it is okay to be stressed at times. But what I have learned that is not okay is taking your stress everywhere you go.

I understand getting stressed is normal. It is not a weird thing to have things that you are worried about, no matter what stage you are in. But taking that stress with you to work or to school is just going to make you more stressed. So it may be best to go out for a night and clear your mind of your stresses. Your stresses that are in your suit case (okay not a real suitcase but you get the point) the next day won't be as heavy as the were the previous day.

Most certainly, everyone has their own issues that go into their stress suitcases every day. Some issues can be in the suitcases for a short time and some for a very long time. It depends on the persons' issues. This is not to say that having issues or things in your suitcase is a bad thing. But how you handle what is in your suitcase can be a bad thing because you can't let your suitcase get too filled.

How to declutter your stress suitcase you may ask? Start by getting rid of the negative people that may be a part of your issues. Surround yourself with positive people that will help you become better as a person and that you can learn from. Try getting rid of those small things in your suitcase as well. You may think it won't matter if it gets removed but it really will help out in the long run.

I got this idea from someone I have been watching lately. If you want to learn more about how to handle your stress suitcase, check out Amy Young's video:
