Manage your Stress!

While working my way through law school, a good friend gave me techniques to better manage stress. The belief in the medical community is that excessive stress tears down the body and makes you exhausted.

Take advantage of you medical coverage:

1. Psychologist (its wonderful to talk to an objective 3rd party)
2. Acupuncture and Chiropractic adjustments

Eliminate stress toxins by:

1. Exercise/Yoga/Stretching (purchase tapes on loan from the local library)
2. Losing Excess Weight
3. Invest in and take a good daily vitamin
4. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
5. Get at least 1-2 hours of natural sunlight a day (sit or walk outside during lunch breaks, open the curtains and blinds when you are home)
6. Only talk to people who are positive, limit communication with co-workers, family and/or friend who are negative

Regroup: Emotionally, Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually.

1. Attend church, pray and Read Psalms
2. Take Selfish time: Do your hair, give yourself a Manicure or Pedicure, have your spouse give you an hour massage everyday, take a quiet hot soke in the tub daily
3. Reconnect with friends and family.

Thanks,
