Stress Sucks

The last few weeks I have allowed stress to take over my body and I am about sick of it!  I have tried exercising, drinking (in moderation of course), and even not think about it, but it continues to take over.  Aaahhhh  I am going to a yoga retreat on Friday and hope that it helps with my stress because I am having a hard time staying awake during the day due to my lack of sleep at night.  It's gotten so bad that my back has a ton of tight knots that make my back hurt so bad that I can hardly move....I need this stress to be gone!
