36 Stress Reducers
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on
time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the
day unrushed.
4. Say No, to projects that won't fit
into your time schedule or that will compromise your mental
health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable
others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your
life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often
not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to
get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes
and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all
together.
10. Take one day at a
time.
11. Separate worries from
concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would
have you to do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do
anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use
credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in
your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps,
etc.,
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut.) This
single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of
trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You
everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while
waiting in line.
17. Get enough
exercise.
18. Eat
right.
19. Get organized so everything has its
place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that
can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write thoughts and inspirations
down.
22. Everyday, find time to be
alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to
God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the
bud. Don't wait until its time to go to bed to try and
pray.
24. Make friends with Godly
people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures
on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge
between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you,
Jesus!"
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some
more!
29. Take your work seriously, but
yourself, not at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most
people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they
probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your
ego.
33. Talk less; listen
more.
34. Slow
down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the
general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one
thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for
before.
