Article One: Eliminate as many
sources of stress as you can. For example, if crowds bother you, go to the
supermarket when you know the lines won't be too long. Try renting videotapes
rather than going to crowded movie theaters. Clear up the clutter in your life
by giving away or throwing away the things that get in your way. A garage sale
is one effective way to do this. Article Two:
If you are always running late, sit down with a pencil and paper and see how you
are actually allot ting your time. Say it takes you 40 minutes to get to work.
Are you leaving your house on time? You may be able to solve your problem(and
de-stress your life a hit)just by being realistic. If you can't find the time
for all the activities that are important to you, maybe you are trying to do too
much. Again, make a list of what you do during the day and how much each
activity takes. Then cut back. Article Three:
If you feel stress(or anything else.is getting the better of you, seek
professional help--a doctor or therapist. Early signs of excess stress are loss
of a sense of well-being and reluctance to get up in the morning to face another
day. Article Four: If you can't remove the
stress, remove yourself. Slip away once in a while for some private time. These
quiet moments may give you a fresh perspective on your problems. Avoid stressful
people. For example, if you don't get along with your father-in-law but you
don't want to make an issue of it, invite other in-laws at the same time you
invite him. Having other people around will absorb some of the pressure you
would normally feel. Article Five: Competing
with others, whether in accomplishments, appearance, or possessions, is an
avoidable source of stress. You might know people who do all they can to provoke
envy in others. While it may seem easy to say you should be satisfied with what
you have, it's the truth. Stress from this kind of jealousy is
self-inflicted. Now match each of the articles to the
