I was catching up on some blog reading and I wanted to share what s.l. also shared about keeping stress levels low... low... low...
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR REDUCING STRESS
1. Thou shalt not be perfect, nor even try to be.
2. Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people.
3. Thou shalt leave things undone that ought to be done.
4. Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin.
5. Thou shalt learn to say "no".
6. Thou shalt schedule time for thyself and thy supportive network.
7. Thou shalt switch off and do nothing regularly.
8. Thou shalt be boring, untidy, inelegant, unattractive at times.
9. Thou shalt not even feel guilty.
10. Especially, thou shalt not be thine own worst enemy, but be thy best friend.
Hmm. Some of those seem rather unrealistic....whereas others are necessary to good mental health.
