Take one thing at a time. Pick one urgent task and work on it. When that's done, move on to the next.Be realistic. lf you're overwhelmed at home or at work, learn to say, "No!" 2. Don't try to be superman/superwoman. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection from yourself. 3. Visualize. Use your imagination to see how you can manage a stressful situation at work or home more effectively. 4. Meditate. Five to 10 minutes of quiet reflection can bring some relief. If you're having a stressful day at work, close your door and meditate or go for a quick walk to clear your mind. 5. Exercise. Thirty minutes of physical activity per day helps both body and mind. If you have an hour lunch break at the office, use half of it for a walk or a jog. Make plans with a coworker to do this a few times a week. 6. Hobbies. Take a break and do something you enjoy. 7. Adopt a healthy lifestyle. Get adequate rest, eat right, exercise, limit your use of caffeine and alcohol, and balance work and play. 8. Share your feelings. Don't try to cope alone. Let friends and family provide support and guidance. 9. Be flexible! Whether you're at home or at work, arguing only increases stress. If you feel you're right, stand your ground, but do so calmly and rationally. Be prepared to make allowances for other people's opinions and to compromise. 10. Don't be overly critical. Remember, everyone is unique and has his or her own virtues and shortcomings. Inspirational Thoughts, Affirmations and Reality Perspectives on Stress to Tickle Your Funny Bone and Inspire YOUR STRESS-FREE PERSONAL ACTION PLAN! “Stress: The confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it” “In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.” Lee Iacocca quotes “Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet” “Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness” Richard Carlson “Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.” Natalie Goldberg “If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.” George F. Burns (American comedian 1896-1996) “In times of stress, be bold and valiant.” Horace quotes (Ancient Roman Poet. 65 BC-8 BC) “I’ve tried yoga, but I find stress less boring.” “Stress is like an iceberg.

Dobson “There are thousands of causes for stress, and one antidote to stress is self-expression. That's what happens to me every day.
