If there's one thing I've learned recently is that my family are stress heads.
Each and every one of them gets themselves worked up about stupid stuff and ends up ill.
They even stress about stuff that concerns me before it's even happened.
They throw bucket loads of 'advice' at me that I never asked for or wanted, and most of it is engineered to vent their stress levels on to someone else.
Now, maybe I'm lucky that I'm able to care less about things, but I actively avoid stress and am healthier because of it.
If I feel a bit of stress coming on, I do some physical exercise to burn off the adrenalin, then do something to change what made me stress a little.
My family think I'm horrible because I don't get involved with family stuff any more, and the truth is I could do without their negative and deconstructive behaviours.
So how do you avoid the 'stress heads' in your life?
