4. Say "No" to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health

6. Simplify and unclutter your life.

7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)

9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.

11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern find out what God would have you to do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation .. forget it.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.,

24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you, Jesus!"

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.

35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.

36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

Even if you don't believe in God, you can still take alot from this list... i mean, most people i argue with daily on this board should follow #32...

Bah, ego is fucking great. I feel like a king whenever I whip your ass. Those who are slaves to their ego just don't understand it. Those who would deny other's their ego, are slaves to it themselves. Not a day goes by without me telling myself how amazing I am and how much better I am than everyone else. There really is nothing else like it.

I would tell myself that I was better than everyone else if it was true. But it's not, so telling myself that doesn't make me feel any better.

Haha. There's nothing that can be proven or disproven about the statement, "I'm better than everyone else." So you could say it, and nobody could prove it wrong. Not even yourself. In fact, if everyone in the world said it, and there's good reason to believe that at least most of them do, then everyone in the world would be right, and better than everyone else, even as the person sitting right next to them would be better than he is.

Of course, I don't need to fool myself this way, I really am better than everyone else! :D

Normally when people say that... i consider them a fool.

can't say its that way for everyone.. but I just thought i'd give you perspective.

But by all means... go on with your bad self.. and be good at... umm.. whatever it is that you do.

And speaking of the list, they left off the #1 stress reducer:

SEX!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOHOOOO

That's the very first thing I thought of when I saw this post, and wondered why it wasn't there. Then I saw all the Christian crap.

Christian "crap"? most of that stuff would do you good... even if you skip the praying parts...

The number one way to relieve stress?

And the survey says.....


Have sex

Preferably with someone else, but with yourself is ok too.

Is this some kind of Oprah's self-affirmation tricks?

i find relaxing does it for me

Get up 15 minutes earlier
Prepare for the morning the night before
Avoid tight fitting clothes
Avoid relying on chemical aids
Set appointments ahead
Don't rely on your memory...write it down
Practice preventative maintenance
Make duplicate keys
Say no more often
Set priorities in your life
Avoid negative people
Use time wisely
Simplify meal times
Always make copies of important papers
Anticipate your needs

I might not be better than everyone else but I'm better than Napsterbater.:lolhit:

The list seems pretty good but since it is already after two in the morning I guess suggestion number two will have to wait until another day.

Great apracticle advice and if I can add to a perfect study,I would say
1.Don't let running for more money your main aim,your good health is not reversable most of the time.
2.Do things that you really like to do providing it doesn't harm others.
3.Keep in mind that good health and peace of mind is a gift from god.
4.Be thankful to God for giving you good health and good and honest family and friends to share this short life with.
