WHAT TO DO ABOUT STRESS:

The "Thirty Point Plan" for the "small and big business person"...

and everyone else.

by Craig Lock

1. Be positive - see problems as opportunities.

Have goals and visions. Have a positive mental

attitude.

2. Play sports and step up your exercise.

3. Talk things over with someone.

4. Determine what causes you stress and try to

eliminate it.

5. Become physically fit.

6. Balance work, home/family and recreation.

7. Enjoy your play and relaxation - it is precious time!

8. Get adequate sleep and rest.

9. Allow yourself some relaxation and meditation

time every day.

10. Learn relaxation techniques and systematic ways

to relax.

11. Give yourself time to think.

12. Know your limits and your symptoms of stress...

and how to relieve them. Learn to say 'no' to others'

excessive demands on you. Don't say "yes" when you

mean "no".

13. "Coast" if necessary.

14. Worry only about that which can be changed

by you. I like the quotation which goes like this

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I

cannot change; courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference."

I often do not follow this rule.

15. Use your imagination to reduce your stress

levels. Be creative.

16. Learn to switch off thinking about work when

you get home.

17. Think about your diet and eat nutritious food.

18. Learn to plan your time better.

19. Learn to recognize and to accept your limitations

as well as the limitations (and faults) of others.

20. Learn to have FUN. You must be able to enjoy

your work.

21. Learn to praise others and be positive.

22. Learn to tolerate and to forgive.

23. Learn to avoid unnecessary competition. You

don't have to be the best at everything.

24. Learn to confide in others.
