LOL!!!! :)

Actually, here are some ideas for stress management.  Hope some will work 4u:

36 WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

>==================================

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 oflife.

21. Write thoughts and inspirations down.

22. Every day, 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 it's 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.

Life's most pressing problems have THE  "antidote" in ...................

Mama told me that there would be days like these, that things might get worse before they got better,  but she DIDN'T say

how MANY there would be, nor HOW much worse things could get!

BONUS STRESS TEST.......

One teacher said, "I felt like they were all moving...but slowly. Kind of like, they were breathing."

The pictures attached are used to test the level of stress a person can handle.

The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress.

Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly;
however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still.  

**************************************************************************************************Stress Stress Management

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an
audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How
heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out
ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't
matter." It depends on how long you try to hold it.
"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

"If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my
right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call
an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but
the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress
management. If we carry our burdens all the time,
sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly
heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass
of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can
carry on with the burden.

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of
work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up
tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let
them down for a moment if you can.

"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life
is short. Enjoy it!"

 Less Stress

Some of the following statements are wise ... others
tongue-in-cheek!

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case
you have to eat them.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you
die in the middle of it.

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be
recalled by their maker.

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days
you're the statue.

If you lend someone $20 and never see them again, it
was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to
serve as a warning to others.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and
dance.

Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird,
sleep late.

The second mouse gets the cheese.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong
lane.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the
longer you live.

You may be only one person in the world, but you may
also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp,
some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird
names and all are different colors, but they all have
to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery
on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought
about you today ... I did.
