Tips Accept - Accept the fact that every day something is going to go "wrong".  Don't let it bother you. Clutter - Clutter causes stress.  Get rid of the clutter in your home and get organized.  Control - Don't be a "control freak".   Things will never be perfect.  Enjoy the ride, including the bumps in the road. Friends - Have at least one friend that you can talk to and share problems. Talking to friends helps you deal with a lot of stressful situations. Happiness - Don't rely on anyone else for your happiness.  People let you down.  You can be as happy as you make your mind up to be. (paraphrased by Abe Lincoln) Laugh - Laughing reduces stress.  Find humor in every situation you can, and select your entertainment carefully. Leisure - Make time for yourself everyday and do something that you enjoy and that relaxes you. Mistakes - Don't dwell on your mistakes.  Accept them, learn from them and move on.  Acknowledge that you are human and hard as you try, you will make more of them. Multi-tasking - Don't overdo on the multi-taking.  If you feel the need to multi-task, you are probably trying to do too much. Perspective - Put your problems in perspective.  Positive thinking- Keep your thoughts positive.  Don't fall into the trap of thinking the worst so you won't be surprised if it happens. Relaxation Tapes - Buy a few relaxation CD's, and take a few minutes each day to learn how to recognize body tension and  let it go. Say "No" - It's not just your money everyone wants.  A lot of people want your time.  Do not stress yourself out trying to do too much, or feeling guilty when you can't do it all. Slow Down - Hurrying causes stress.  Walk slower, and do not rush or fun Stay Focused - Live your life they way you feel you should, and learn not to care what anybody else thinks. Trash- Take out the trash.  If there are people or things in your life that are bothering you, dump them, or distance yourself from them.  Let go of emotional baggage. Worry -  Don't worry about things.  It's a waste of time.  If something is concerning you, just do something about it.  If nothing else worrying is a waste of time because you have no idea what you really should be worrying about.
