Another series I particularly liked from 2010 was one I did on STRESS. I don’t remember feeling particularly stressed when I did it but I think my wife Linda was at the time. That is probably what inspired me.

Day #5 of ‘Stress Week’ at The Napkin Dad Daily and it’s a piece of cake!
Clinical studies have shown that 9 out of 10 people who start to eat dessert are less stressed than before they started eating. I don’t know where the clinic is that did that study, probably in the home town of Betty Crocker, but who cares. Eat dessert, live longer.
By the way, it wasn’t long ago that I used this quote on a napkin. I usually don’t do that, but I was out a coffee house being photographed for a magazine article. I knew they wanted to have pics of me drawing so I brought my markers and napkins, but forgot a quote book. So, I just started with a ‘stress’ quote off the top of my head. I liked the cake I drew so I thought I would just continue on with it and make it my day #5 napkin!

It’s stressful coming to the end of ‘Stress Week’ at The Napkin Dad Daily!
I remember arguing with my wife about something she was worried about, afraid might happen. I was trying to argue rationally, giving her all the reasons not to worry. She finally had to stop me and say, ‘MARTY, it’s not a rational FEAR, you can’t argue it away with rational arguments!’
So, if your fear, stress, worry, anger, etc. is irrational, you must be irrational in your response to it, right? Oh, heck if I know. But…
It’s only a spider.

The pressure is on during ‘stress week’ at The Napkin Dad Daily!
Stress is bad. Stress is pressure that has no outlet, no direction. But pressure can be a good thing. What’s good about pressure? Pressure creates motivation. Motivation creates action. Action creates growth and results. The key is to take action.

Don’t freak out, but it’s ‘stress week’ at The Napkin Dad Daily
‘What’s below’ means what is happening in your body and your mind that isn’t obvious. You feel stress the same way you can feel an ankle sprain. But there are also elements of stress you can’t feel. Your stressed body is weakened, easier to get sick. Your stressed mind is cognitively vulnerable and it is easy to lose track of what is important.
Really think through what is essential in the here and now. Let the rest go. You will either come back to it when it is a better time, or it will pass and prove to have not been that important in the first place.
