--- I learned that, or atleast concluded that I use work andstress as a means to fill in the empty space. That is to say that Irely on my stressors to cope with silence. Stressors in my lifeinclude work, side projects that I tend to pick up on a whim,maintaining relationships with those closest around me, andfinancial issues. While this may not be the best way to deal withthe stressors in my life, but I have a tendency to ignore theemotional burden that comes along with the stressor which is not tosay that I don't deal with the problem at hand, but rather I ignorethe emotional tension that comes along with the burden--essentiallymaking myself numb. While this isn't necessarily the healthiest wayto deal with stress, it allows me to deal with the physical problemat hand first before worry about the emotional side of the problem.This helps with prioritizing the problem, for example such asschool work without worrying about how to handle the emotionalburden such as \"will I graduate\"? While there certain is a mind,body and soul connection I also think that to a certain degreethere is a conflict of interest such as for example--if somethingmight be good for the development of the body it may notnecessarily be good for the soul or for the mind.
