"36 Stress Reducers"
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up early so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No, to projects that won't fit into your time
schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough,
two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and
difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard
things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation
is a concern, find out what G~d would have you
to do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do
anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards
for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet,
an extra house key buried in the garden, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut.) This single piece of
advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough exercise.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help
improve your quality of life.
21. Write thoughts and inspirations down.
22. Everyday, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to G~d on the spot.
Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait
until its time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with G~dly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between
despair and hope is often a good "Thank you,
Lord!"
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (just realize that most
people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it
the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general
manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're
grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
** G~D HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND
FOR YOU**
Stress is the number one killer in the world today.
(Remember how you felt the last time you were
stressed?) Reducing stress in your life should
become a major priority. Your life depends on it.
