18 Ways To Reduce Stress

1. Go to bed early and get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
2. Allow extra time to get where you are going.
3. Laugh. Then laugh some more!
4. Less is more. Even though one is not enough, two is often too many.
5. Live within your budget. Don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
6. Slow down.
7. Have backups: an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
8. Write thoughts and inspirations down.
9. Keep your mouth shut.
10. Take your work seriously, but yourself not at all.
11. Develop a forgiving attitude. Most people are doing the best they can.
12. Delegate tasks to capable others.
13. Say no to projects that won't fit into your schedule or will compromise your mental health.
14. Do something for the kid in you every day.
15. Find time to be alone.
16. Be kind to unkind people. They probably need it the most.
17. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
18. Pray.
