Pray </div> <div> 2. Go to bed on time. </div> <div> 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. </div> <div> 4. Say No to projects or tasks that are going to cause you to have added stress--know your limits.</div> <div> 5. Delegate tasks to others capable of finishing the projects. </div> <div> 6. Simplify and unclutter your life. </div> <div> 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) </div> <div> 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. Be early, instead of running late.</div> <div> 9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. </div> <div> 10. Take one day at a time. Live in the present! Don't count your chickens before they are hatched...</div> <div> 11. Separate worries from concerns. Will worrying help? If a situation is a concern, find</div> <div> out what God would have you to do and let go of the anxiety.! If you</div> <div> can't do anything about a situation, no need to worry about it. </div> <div> 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. </div> <div> 13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc., or how about a plan B just incase.</div> <div> 14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut.) This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. </div> <div> 15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday. </div> <div> 16. Carry reading material with you to read while waiting in line (maybe a pocket bible, magazine, or flyers.) </div> <div> 17. Get enough exercise. </div> <div> 18. Eat right. </div> <div> 19. Get organized so everything has its place. </div> <div> 20. Listen to a music/tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life. </div> <div> 21. Write thoughts and inspirations down. </div> <div> 22. Everyday, find time to be alone. </div> <div> 23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems</div> <div> in the bud. Don't wait until its time to go to bed to try and pray. </div> <div> 24. Make friends with Godly people. </div> <div> 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand. Save things that make you happy. </div> <div> 26. Take time to smell the flowers, and enjoy those around you.  </div> <div> 27. Laugh. </div> <div> 28. Have a cup of tea and snuggle with a pet, child, or other loved one.</div> <div> 29. Take your work seriously, but yourself not at all. </div> <div> 30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). </div> <div> 31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). </div> <div> 32. Sit on your ego. </div> <div> 33. Talk less; listen more. </div> <div> 34. Slow down. </div> <div> 35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. </div> <div> 36. Count your blessings! Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
