#
Pray.
# Go to bed on time.
# Get up on time so you can start the day
unrushed.
# Say No to projects that won't fit into your
time schedule, or that will compromise your
mental health.
# Delegate tasks to capable others.
# Simplify and unclutter your life.
# Less is more (Although one is often not
enough, two are often too many).
# Allow extra time to do things and to get to
places.
# Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and
difficult projects over time; don't lump the
hard things all together.
# Take one day at a time.
# Separate worries from concerns. If a situation
is a concern, find out what God would have you
do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do
anything about a situation, forget it.
# Live within your budget; don't use credit
cards for ordinary purchases.
# Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet,
an extra house key buried in the garden, extra
stamps, etc.
# K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut) This single piece of
advice can prevent an enormous amount of
trouble.
# Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
# Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting
in line.
# Get enough rest.
# Eat right.
# Exercise.
# Get organized so everything has its place.
# Listen to a tape while driving that can help
improve your quality of life.
# Write down thoughts and inspirations.
# Every day, find time to be alone.
# Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try
to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait
until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
# Make friends with Godly people.
# Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
# Remember that the shortest bridge between
despair and hope is often a good "Thank you
Jesus."J
# Laugh.
# Laugh some more!
# Take your work seriously, but not yourself at
all.
# Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are
doing the best they can).
# Be kind to unkind people (they probably need
it the most).
# Sit on your ego.
# Talk less; listen more.
# Slow down.
# Remind yourself that you are not the general
manager of the universe. |
