Blog Stress
I just experienced a new type of stress, blog stress. The last 2 days I have been trying new hosting companies, changing domain name servers, waiting for them to propagate across the Internet, upgrading and falling back on WordPress levels, trying new themes… Way too many variables.
For 2 days this blog has been marginally available at best. I have been struggling with one of my hosting companies over response times… (their server hosts this blog). If you want gray hair, this is what you want to be doing. My adventures are not over yet, but at least the blog is online.
Well I guess I am using a very popular stressreducer here, venting. Prior to writing this and letting go of some stream, I found myself doing a lot of deep breathing (another stress reliever) and took a couple walks and had a couple of beers. It’s better than punching or tossing my computer (cheaper too).
This experience just reinforces my need to have stress management techniques for times like these. If you are a blogger or a webmaster, you know what I am talking about. So keep these stressreducer techniques in mind. They work!
Most people find that venting does not reduce their stress. But there is a stress reduction technique for everyone.
