10 COMMANDMENTS FOR REDUCING STRESS IN YOUR LIFE









1. Thou Shalt Not Be Perfect, Or Even Try To Be.
No One Is Perfect On This Earth, No Matter What They Try To Pretend To Be. You Can't Be Either. Accept Yourself As You Are Not As Others Want You To Be. Be Yourself and Enjoy Every Minute of It.









2. Thou Shalt Not Try To Be All Things To All People.
It's An Impossible Task. There Will Always Be Those That Are Never Satisfied And That Can't Be Pleased.









3. Thou Shalt Sometimes Leave Things Undone That Ought To Be Done.
Don't Be So Rigid In Your Routine That You End Up Making Yourself Crazy. The World Will Not Stop Spinning If You Procrastinate Now And Then.









4. Thou Shalt Not Spread Thyself Too Thinly.
You Cannot Be Four Places At One Time, It's Impossible...You Are Not a Superhero. Do What You Can Do And Delegate the Rest When You Can. When You Can't, See # 5.









5. Thou Shalt Learn To Say NO and Mean it.
Know When To Say When. People Will Not Think Less Of You For The Use Of The Dreaded "N" word. If You Are Trying To Do Too Much, You End Up Doing An Okay Job Of It All (If You're Lucky). Choose To Do A Fantastic Job Instead On Fewer Things. People May Even Start To Respect You More.









6. Thou Shalt Schedule Time For Thyself And Thy Supportive Network.
Make Time For Friends Without The Kids, The Spouse, or Work Being Involved. Take Time To Enjoy Life And To Lean On Others That Love And Know You Now And Then. Live, Love, Laugh, Enjoy Life.









7. Thou Shalt Switch Off And Do Nothing Regularly.
Make An Appointment With Yourself..In INK. Don't Break It Unless The World Is Coming To An End. Even Then..Make Sure It's Not Just a TEST Of the World Coming To An End Emergency Alert System. *wink*









8. Thou Shalt Be Boring, Untidy, Inelegant, and Unattractive At Times.
In Fact,For That Matter, Take a Picture When You Do. Learn To Be a Slob And Relax In Your Jammies. To Heck With The Opposite Sex For A While. Be The REAL You.









9. Thou Shalt Not Ever Feel Guilty When Following 1-8 Above.
Guilt Will Defeat the Purpose And Benefit Of Your Efforts. Avoid It Or Anyone That Will Try To Inflict It, At Any Cost.










LAST BUT NOT LEAST...MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT...









10. Especially, Thou Shalt NOT Be Thine Own Worst Enemy But Be Thine Own Best Friend.
Do NOT Sabotage Your Own Best Interests. Realize Your Own Worth And That Anything Is Possible With Enough Determination. Look To The Future And Listen To Yourself, Not Those Around You That Don't Have Your Best Interests At heart.

You Don't Always Get What You Want..But If You Try Sometime, You Get What You Need.
