How does one deal with the stress of success?

Peaches asked:

I have plans for my life, some of which i”m already doing. I work at my local community college tutoring students, I’m studying psychology and social work at SFSU, and I have an apartment. I want to be successful and be a CEO, create a great life, and give back to my community, and be an example for others.
Due to requirements of financial aid, certain programs that I’m in, and just plain old ambition, I am under lots of pressure. I will be the first person in my family to get beyond high school and get a bachelor’s degree. I want to be a success and not give up.
However, all the associated stress has taken a toll on my digestive system. It’s hard for me to work when I feel queasy. I don’t want to stop my climb to the top, but how does one make the body strong enough to deal with the work I must do to reach my goals? Eventually, I want to be a Ph.D, own my own home, and have financial freedom. But it’s hard to do when I feel sick. But I don’t plan to give up. How do I do it?

SayWhat? asked:

I get a ton of white card stock scraps from work that they are going to throw into the recycling bin. I like to use them in my scrapbooking, but I get tired of plain stark white. How can I age, or stress, this card stock to give it some character?

happysign asked:

I have been under loads of stress lately and I’m taking Errin (a progestoren only pill) and I wonder if my stress can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Can I get pregnant? Or is the stress harmless? Besides the obvious harmful things stress does to the body.

Thanks!

achristian520 asked:

I work for a software company and spend 8 to 10 hours a day behind a computer. Along with deadlines, meetings, and other factors, an average day can create stress. What can be done, either at the desk or in the chair, etc., to help reduce the stress?
