20 Stress Reducers

  1. Get enough sleep. If necessary, use an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.
  2. Don't rely on your memory. Write down when to do tasks at work and home that need to get done.
  3. Plan ahead. Don't leave things to the last minute. Keep a well-stocked "emergency shelf" of supplies at home and at work and don't let the gas tank get below ¼ full.
  4. Don't put up with things that are not working right. If something is a constant aggravation, deal with it!
  5. Go make friends with non-worriers.
  6. Take 30 minutes of brisk walking everyday.
  7. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying something that may make matters worse.
  8. Take the scissors to your credit cards.
  9. Think of your next embarrassing situation as an episode on "Funniest Home Videos".
  10. Everyday, make time for some solitude.
  11. Allow ample time between appointments so you don't have to rush, worry and apologize for being late.
  12. Talk it out. Discussing your problems with a trusted friend can help clear your mind of confusion.
  13. Instead of doing something tomorrow, do it today; instead of doing it today; do it now. Hard work is simply the accumulation of easy things you didn't do when you should have done them.
  14. Relax your standards. The world will not end if chores are not done this weekend.
  15. Add an ounce of love to everything you do.
  16. Say, No Thanks to extra projects you don't have time or energy for or ask for help.
  17. Donate extra stuff to charity.
  18. Do nothing, which, after being done, leads you to tell a lie.
  19. Carry a duplicate car key in your wallet.
  20. Be tender to the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant with the weak. In you life, you will be all of these.
