The Age of Overwhelm?

I have recently had some interesting conversations with 20 somethings who are STRESSED!  Stressed about relationships, about school, about work, about life.  They feel overwhelmed and anxious.

I have recently had some interesting conversations with 30 somethings who are STRESSED!  kids running around zapping their intimacy, chaos creating lack of connection, overworked, overwhelmed.

I have recently had some interesting conversations with 40 somethings who are STRESSED! Ok. You get the idea.

Stress is everpresent.  We hear that our 20’s are supposed to be carefree time to enjoy life.  We hear that our 30’s are time to settle down and make a family….etc.  But we let our 20’s pass by with busyness, stress, overwhelm, and our 30’s pass by with a marriage that dissolves from lack of intimacy, lack of connection…

What are we to do?

20’s: Develop the skills to recognize and manage stress

30’s: Create healthy patterns in our marriages–daily time outs with our spouse to check in and really connect/communicate, find scheduled times for intimacy, date each other, recognize the importance of Mom and Dad’s relationship coming ahead of the kids.
