WHAT TO DO ABOUT STRES: THE 30 POINT PLAN
We hope that the following article may be informative
and/or helpful for your e-zine, or on your web site.
Craig Lock has written extensively on the subject
of stress management, as well as in the field of self
help. This extract is from his first published book
HANDBOOK TO SURVIVE- a collection of writings
on various subjects to help every man or woman
survive in a rapidly changing, uncertain world.
Craig's other articles are available at:
http://www.bridgeniche.com/ebooks/Ebooks.htm
"We share what we know, so that others may grow".
WHAT TO DO ABOUT STRESS:
The "Thirty Point Plan" for the "small and big business person"...
and everyone else.
by Craig Lock
1. Be positive - see problems as opportunities.
Have goals and visions. Have a positive mental
attitude.
2. Play sports and step up your exercise.
3. Talk things over with someone.
4. Determine what causes you stress and try to
eliminate it.
5. Become physically fit.
6. Balance work, home/family and recreation.
7. Enjoy your play and relaxation - it is precious time!
8. Get adequate sleep and rest.
9. Allow yourself some relaxation and meditation
time every day.
10. Learn relaxation techniques and systematic ways
to relax.
11. Give yourself time to think.
12. Know your limits and your symptoms of stress...
and how to relieve them. Learn to say 'no' to others'
excessive demands on you. Don't say "yes" when you
mean "no".
13. "Coast" if necessary.
14. Worry only about that which can be changed
by you. I like the quotation which goes like this
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change; courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
I often do not follow this rule.
15. Use your imagination to reduce your stress
levels. Be creative.
16. Learn to switch off thinking about work when
you get home.
17. Think about your diet and eat nutritious food.
18. Learn to plan your time better.
19. Learn to recognize and to accept your limitations
as well as the limitations (and faults) of others.
20. Learn to have FUN. You must be able to enjoy
your work.
21. Learn to praise others and be positive.
22. Learn to tolerate and to forgive.
23. Learn to avoid unnecessary competition. You
don't have to be the best at everything.
24. Learn to confide in others.
25. Learn to accept what can't be changed in
others, i.e., personality or decisions.
26. Learn to accept that some things aren't as
important to others as they are to you.
27.
Learn to delegate - don't try to do everything
yourself.
28. Learn to recognize stress. Do not become so
accustomed to feeling stress that it becomes a
normal part of your life.
29. Have trust in other people.
And finally, no matter how stressful or hopeless
your situation may appear to be...
30. NEVER GIVE UP HOPE. ALWAYS have GREAT
FAITH IN YOURSELF AND ESPECIALLY IN GOD,
our Creator, or whatever YOU understand God to
be:The Universe, the Ultimate Source, Life, Great
Spirit, your Higher Self ... that things will eventually
work out for you. Just know that there is a "special"
plan and purpose for your life. Perhaps it is to do
good deeds by helping others... and so help yourself.
In seeking it, you will make the most of your unique
potential and gifts and fulfill your unique Divine
Destiny.
All the best in MANAGING your stress levels.
Good luck
Craig Lock
