Feeling stressed? Maxed out? Struggling in life? Got some anxiety? Read below for some help from writer Terese Vanier
“Ten Commandments of Stress Reduction”
- Thou shall NOT be perfect, nor even try to be.
- Thou shall NOT try to be all things to all people.
- Thou shall leave things undone that ought to be done.
- Thou shall NOT spread thyself too thin.
- Thou shall learn to say ‘NO’
- Thou shall schedule time for thyself; and thy supportive network.
- Thou shall switch off and do nothing regularly.
- Thou shall be boring, untidy, inelegant, and unattractive at times.
- Thou shall NOT feel guilty
- Thou shall NOT be thine own worst enemy but be thy best friend
Love some of these. Don’t completely agree with a couple. But it’s fun to thing about each one.
