26 TIPS FOR MANAGING
STRESS
1. Always take time for yourself, at
least 30
minutes per day.
2. Be aware of your own stress meter:
Know when to step back and cool
down.
3. Concentrate on controlling your
own
situation, without controlling
everybody else.
4. Daily exercise will burn off the
stress
chemicals.
5. Eat lots of fresh fruit, veggies,
bread
and
water, give your body the best for it
to
perform at its best.
6. Forgive others, don't hold grudges
and be
tolerant -- not everyone is as capable
as
you.
7. Gain perspective on things, how
important is the issue?
8. Hugs, kisses and laughter: Have
fun and
don't be afraid to share your feelings
with
others.
9. Identify stressors and plan to deal
with
them better next time.
10. Judge your own performance
realistically; don't set goals out of
your own
reach.
11. Keep a positive attitude, your
outlook
will influence outcomes and the way
others
treat you.
12. Limit alcohol, drugs and other
stimulants,
they affect your perception and
behaviour.
13. Manage money well, seek advice
and
save at least 10 per cent of what you
earn.
14. No is a word you need to learn to
use
without feeling guilty.
15. Outdoor activities by yourself, or
with
friends and family, can be a great way
to
relax.
16. Play your favourite music rather
than
watching television.
17. Quit smoking: It is stressing your
body
daily, not to mention killing you too.
18. Relationships: Nurture and enjoy
them,
learn to listen more and talk less.
19. Sleep well, with a firm mattress
and a
supportive pillow; don't overheat
yourself
and allow plenty of ventilation.
20. Treat yourself once a week with a
massage, dinner out, the movies:
Moderation
is the key.
21. Understand things from the other
person's point of view.
22. Verify information from the source
before exploding.
23. Worry less, it really does not get
things
completed better or quicker.
24. Xpress: Make a regular retreat to
your
favourite space, make holidays part of
your
yearly plan and budget.
25. Yearly goal setting: Plan what you
want
to achieve based on your priorities in
your
career, relationships, etc.
26. Zest for life: Each day is a gift,
smile
and be thankful that you are a part of
the
bigger picture....
