Summer in the city

Ever since I came back from Greece, I can't stop fantasizing about living by the seaside. It was never my thing before, 10 days by the sea in the summer were usually more than enough (even when I was a kid), but now it really started to grow on me. Being so casual about my clothes, and hair and (non-existing) makeup is just one of the things I brought back with me.

The first post from my vacation is here before your eyes. That moment when you strip down to a bikini for the first time in the summer always makes me a bit shy and anxious, so we're starting with clothes on, haha!

I don't think I have ever been this stressed out, ever in my life. I'm very busy at work, I have two exams this week, day after day, and then on the third day I'm off to have a vacation, that has become a source of stress as well because I have no idea when I'm going to have time to pack. Having so much to squeeze in so little time, my head is spinning, and I have a hard time silencing my thoughts. I try my best not to panic, but I get anxiety attacks from time to time. Yesterday evening I literally froze, I couldn't breathe and couldn't read a single word... so I watched two episodes of Devious Maids and felt just a little better afterwards.
I try to breathe deep, I meditate, listen to the music I love and envision my goals as vividly as possible, because I need motivation to keep going. But the truth is, I really need to dip my ass into salty sea water, until then - I'm just surviving.
Tell me, how do you cope with stress?
