I stood on a SNAKE - and the STRESS snuck in!

So I'm sure if you've been watching along at home on my insta stories, you've probably noticed that on the weekend I went away for a quiet writing weekend, and whilst I was staring at the sunrise, I stood on a SEA SNAKE.

Even now, as I write about it, I can feel the squishiness under my foot.

At the time I was a bit shocked, but I didn't think much of it.

Interestingly, I noticed that as my day progressed I started feeling

• distracted
• overtired
• on edge
• cranky
• sore muscles (like I'd run 5km +)

And I realised, that whilst I hadn't felt stressed in the event, it had obviously stressed me out internally.

And it's this kinda thing (well, hopefully not standing on a snake), that can really get our stress quotient up.

Have any of you felt these things creep into your day?
