Stress Management Tip No. 4 - THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN......
Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying "Thank you."
Some people are working backstage, some are playing in the orchestra,
some are on-stage singing, some are in the audience as critics and some
are there to applaud. Know who and where you are.
Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.
Never continue dating anyone who is rude to the waiter.
Never refuse a breath mint when offered.
You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it
should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
If you tell a lie, don't believe it deceives only the other person.
The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I
apologize" and "You are right".
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself, Will this matter one year
from now? How about one month? One week? One day?
Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
Living as well as you can really is the best revenge. Being miserable
because of a bad or former relationship just proves that the other
person was right about you.
Work is good but it's not that important.
Never underestimate the kindness of your fellow man.
And finally... Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect, it just
means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
Stress Management Tip No. 5 - Be True
If you really want to eradicate stress from your life then you need to be true to yourself and true to your family. Being true to yourself means doing a job that you enjoy, can handle within your capacity and one that satisfies your body, mind, heart and soul.
Try this little test: Mark on the line with a 'X' where you think your current job is in terms of your own personal motivation and satisfaction.
BODY MIND HEART SOUL
It also means exercising and playing regularly, eating properly and not drinking (at all if you can). Smoking is a waste of time, as is gambling. Being true to your family is fairly simple - it is about keeping promises and making time.
