Mining Jobs

It sounds to me like jobs might benefit from learning some new coping skills :) Coping skills are still a form of displacement, but a much healthier form. Bottling up emotions can be very stressful and can hurt the ones around jobs when jobs end up having to deal with those emotions later down the line. Rather than bottling up emotions, we need to deal with them as they come along. We all have families and friends, work, school, household chores, bills, and sometimes it seems so overwhelming. It often seems like we do not have enough time to sit down and relax; to handle these emotions in a healthy way. I make sure that every day I take some time to relax; some 'me' time in any way. I work full time at one job, part time at two other jobs, go to school, clean the house, and we just bought our first house. This can all be very stressful, leading to long days and short nights. But I always make sure that I do something during the day that makes me happy - a way to displace my stress and emotion. I do this by playing video games, watching television, cooking, making art, stretching, and talking with others. Just a little bit everyday goes a long way. It is hard getting into the habit at first, but jobs will find that this will help to keep jobs emotionally stable and also help to keep jobs from lashing out at others who do not deserve it.
