You are right, we need to find the balance between the spiritual and the physical life. I do find that my spiritual growth does help me in life dealings with other people and also with myself. As an example, I find that just being outside and basking in the sun or hangin out with my tree helps me relax so I don't feel like I'm gonna explode from my stress levels. While I know everyone deals with stress, my family and I are all dealing with an unprecedented (for us) awful situation that is making us all so weary. I am glad that I have learned to deal with it with nature and the spiritual side of my existence. It gives such respite. Unfortunately, my family are practically killing themselves with stress... chest pains, migraines, anxiety, despair, nausea, etc. It breaks my heart. I try to help comfort them, and I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't take care of myself. Anyway, to some it looks like I don't care, when really I am just learning to cope better than they are I guess. I wish I could help them.edit on 21-11-2010 by Ellie Sagan because: clarification

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your studies and getting into a university. As you get older you may understand your parents stress better. Not that it's just, but you may have a understanding.
