De- Stress

I find these minor things I have listed below, we can all do; sinners and saints alike, to DE-stress. Whether it be for the coming holidays or as needed. Feel free to copy and paste them to your foreheads as you will need to look back on them with some frequency:

1. Pray. (You don't have to pray to God, Jehovah, Allah, Satan, just to the higher representation of yourself) I heard a story once about all Men being created in Gods image.... etc lol

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day UN-rushed.

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 UN-clutter 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 by thinking it through what can be done 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, extra stamps, 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/Torah/Koran/Satan Handbook with you to read while waiting in line.

17. Get enough rest.

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 down thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day, find time to be alone.

23. Having problems? Talk to God/Devil/Jove on High/ even the dog on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends with Godly/Saintly/Devilish people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures/peaceful words on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus/Lord/Jove."

27. Laugh.

28. Laugh some more!

29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.

30. Develop a forgiving attitude (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.
