So long and Thanks for all the fish

Since Wena is so stressful, I thought I would find something to help us all to combat stress. Lord and behold I got an email from Heart 2000 Australia telling me how to cope with Stress. So here there are:

# Don’t explode at every minor delay - have backup activity ready so that you can shift your attention when a delay arises

# Act immediately when something annoys you rather than keeping your feelings bottled up. If you do feel ready to explode, try a physical activity to offset your anger / emotions

# Plan your time ahead to try and get some order in your life. This will help re-establish control, and give a sense of achievement

# Arrange things so that you do them at your own pace without feeling rushed. Above all, don’t over-commit yourself as this will only exacerbate things

# If someone is doing something other than how you would do it, walk away from the situation rather than provoke a confrontation

# Set priorities for the tasks you have at hand. Decide which tasks are more important and address them first

#Life isn’t fair : you can’t right all the wrongs, and there are social injustices. Focus your attention on things you can solve, so you feel you are making a contribution

# Learn to enjoy the simple things in life - like sunshine on a sunny day

# Seek the opinions of others before you make a major decision. This may prevent impulsive actions which could lead to later stress.
