COPING WITH STRESS - Sarah Ban Breathnach
Is there a person alive who doesn't suffer from stress? If there is, seek them out, and ask them to share their wisdom. When you find them, I'd be willing to bet they'll offer the following suggestions:
Cultivate gratitude, Carve out an hour a day for solitude, begin and end the day with prayer, meditation, reflection, Keep it simple, Keep your house picked up, Don't overschedule, Strive for realistic deadlines, Never make a promise you can't keep, Allow an extra 1/2 hour for everything you do, create quiet surroundings at home and at work, Strive for at least 8 hours sleep per night, Always carry something interesting to read, Breathe - deeply often, Move~Walk, dance, run, Find a sport you enjoy, Drink water, lots of it, Eat only when hungry, If it's not delicious or healthy, don't eat it, Be instead of do, Set aside one day a week for rest and renewal, Laugh more often, Luxuriate in your senses, Always opt for comfort, If you don't love it, live without it, Let Mother Nature nurture, Dont answer the telephone during dinner or designated times you choose, Stop trying to please everyone, Start pleasing yourself, Stay away from negative people, Dont squander precious resources; time, creative energy, emotion. Nurture friendships, Help but not enable, Dont be afraid of passion, Approach problems as challenges, Honor your aspirations, Set achievable goals, Surrender expectations, Savor beauty, Create boundaries, For every "yes" let there be a no, Dont worry;be happy, Remember, happiness is a living emotion, Exchange security for serenity, Care for your soul, Cherish your dreams, Express love every day, Search for your authentic self until you realize the true you. (just typing out this list has made me feel lighter already, Don't worry, be happy:) With Love, TOWANDA!!!!
