How to cope with stress.

I really wish I had the answer to this.  Lately I have been battling my brain.  When I get stressed, I turn to food, or alcohol.  Like it is a needed item.  I struggle with my brain all the time.  If I go out and get a big bowl of Sweet Frog, will that really make me feel better?  Will all of my problems poof, and disappear?  No.  So drinking a whole bottle of wine, will only make me hungover and feel like shit the next morning.

Life is hard.  I have 3 active boys under the age of 5 and its not easy.  I have issues with yelling at them, and my anxiety shoots through the roof when things don't happen when I want them to happen.  I really am trying to slow down and enjoy these times - but in the heat of the moment, its hard.  I have recently switched my job schedule to part-time so I can spend more time with them, instead of daycare raising my kids.  I need to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at time.  So what if we will be late to football practice.  I need to slow down, and enjoy these little moments.
