Worry and Stress (The Story of Monday)
Pornstress Ashton Moore and her husband Jay.
I signed onto Myspace this morning and there was a bulletin posted from my friend, Jay, Ashton Moore's husband. Thanks, man! What a perfect way to begin the week! :-)

Monday....another start to another week. Will we remember this day tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Fuck do you remember what you did last Monday? Many of us stress and worry each morning about what we need to do. We may get it done, we may not, but was that stress that you put on yourself worth it. What we may worry about now may not even matter or even be relevant later on so what the fuck is the point. Life moves SO FAST - before you even realize it your another year older, in a different place, in a different relationship. Things you had are gone and things you never dreamed of are yours but for how long? What the fuck is the purpose of it all....Love, Money, Success, Fame, Glory, Happiness? Who do you know that is truly happy with no worries, no regrets, no ambition for anything more. They say the grass is alway greener on the other side, you know what they mean when they say that...you are never truly happy because once you get to that other side you now want something else or wish you had what you had before. But too late its gone you left it for greener pastures...............Take the time my friends to enjoy what you do have, what you have accomplished, who is with you in your life right now. Nobody or thing is perfect, fuck, the world is not perfect! BLAH! - Peace
Jay, while I do believe that everything we do IS relevant later in (everyone's) life, you hit the nail on the head when you said that the "worry" and "stress" of our actions will NOT be relevant. Worry and stress is just wasted energy. Whatever will be, will be so let go and let it be. Do the work that has to be done this week, get done what you can and must, but don't worry or stress. After all, we only have so much energy and if we really have that much we need to get done, why not spend that energy on actually accomplishing it instead of stressing on it? There is no accomplishment in stress or worry.
Your other points are all ones we've been discussing here lately, too. Nothing and no one is perfect; therefore, everything and every one is perfect. And we've been having problems being happy and grateful for what we have since back in the Garden of Eden, haven't we? Thanks for the reminder this week. We've all felt a little stressed today, I think. And when one person like you takes a moment to breathe, it becomes a little easier for the rest of us, since we're all really One. And when one person like you takes the moment to breathe and then takes another moment to share, worlds can change. Rock on! :-)
P.S.: Did you know it's the first day of Spring? It's a new beginning. Take this with you.

I've always thought that Ashton is one of the most beautiful women in porn, not to mention one of the classiest.
I'm a worry wart by nature but I have this motto that eases the strain of worrying: "The universe will take care of the details." I've told myself this so many times that the worry melts away and I know that whatever happens is going to happen for a reason.
Good one, Sammy! xox L, J.
Worrying and stressing is negative energy. Worrying and stressing accomplishes very little and only hastens the aging process. This negative stress is 'distress'. We tend to always relate stress with this negative stress. There is also neutral stress, or neustress, and positive stress, or eustress. Neutral stress is neither here nor there. Eustress is the stress that causes us to excel and make that deadline. Stress is perception! Percieve a task for what it is and make the most of it, but don't sit back and relax with everything and just 'chill'. The American ideal of just letting everything 'be cool' and 'go with the flow' really gets nothing accomplished. Sure, you can live a long, healthy and care-free life, but you'll be contributing nothing to society or yourself. Sometimes we worry or stress things because it's our bodies telling us that these things deserve extra attention. Stress management is fundamental for a progressive, productive, and healthy life!
Derrick, I think this all comes back to duality. The shades of gray. People can allow themselves to be completely overwhelmed and entirely too stressed in their lives. On the other hand, people can just let everything roll off of them with a very "come what may" attitude. But the challenge lies in living our lives somewhere between the two. The challenge (ie. the gift)is in planting one foot in each of those worlds. Pushing yourself to do more, achieve/share more... but at the same time recognizing that what fuels you to continue to do those things are your moments of rest or play. And also ultimately accepting that whenever a task doesn't get accomplished or you don't seem to succeed at something, it wasn't meant to be. And we'll believe it's not meant to be quite easily if we know we've given it our absolute all. But "giving it your all" depends greatly on the moments of not working as well, to refresh, replenish, recharge etc. I'm not sure any of what I said makes any sense. I just woke up. LOL xox L, J.
