Try these tips:
- Get up 15 minutes earlier every morning so you aren't in a rush and can relax before leaving the house. You can eat your breakfast at a leisurely pace.
- Exercise daily to unwind
- Eliminate the words "ought" and "should" from your vocabulary and make your goals things you really want to do
- Skip the daily news - it's full of negative events
- Drive slowly and enjoy listening to music while you drive
- Meditate or sit quietly for a few minutes every day
- Schedule plenty of time between appointments so you don't feel rushed
- Learn to say no or to delegate. Don't be a control freak - not only does this annoy those you're trying to control but it sets you up for big time stress!
Life is filled with changes and challenges, many of which you can't control. How you respond to these changes and challenges *is* in your control. Your attitude can determine a situation or you can allow the situation to control your attitude.
It is much better for your stress levels if you can learn to control your attitude so you and your emotions and stress levels are not at the mercy of every outside influence affecting you.
There are many self-help books, tapes and videos as well as live classes and programs to help stressed people deal with it and control it... if you are reading this and you are a stress-ball... you have no excuse! Go get help!
