Tips to Reduce Stress and Live a Quality - Driven Life
Sanity Saver#1: Remember What’s
Important. Define Your Priorities and Adjust Your Schedule
to Reflect Your Values. No matter how frantic life gets, no
matter how much frenzy seems to be present, the truly successful
people are able to rise above the pandemonium and maintain
their perspective. They can do this because they know what’s
important. Their values are their compass--they keep them
on course regardless of the chaos and confusion of life. These
people maintain a vision of what truly matters, what their
life is about and what they want it to be. Read

Get
Your Priorities Straight
How often do you say “yes” when you want to say
“no?” Do you say, “yes” because you’re
afraid you’ll disappoint the other person? Do you feel
guilty if you turn someone down? Are you concerned with what
they’ll think of you?
We waste so much of our precious time and energy trying to
please other people. If you have trouble saying “no”
you’re in good company. As women, our concern for others
is central to the way we make decisions. While men make choices
based on principles, women are much more concerned with the
impact their decision will have on the people involved, consequently
we’re reluctant to say “no.” Read

"NO"
Is Not A Four Letter Word
So you say you want your life to be different, better, more
fulfilling? Who doesn’t? How many times have you heard
yourself say, “I wish I had more time for myself?’
“This stress is killing me.” “I have to start
to exercise and get in better shape.” “I feel like
my kids are getting the short end of the stick.” “My
husband/boyfriend says that my side of the bed looks more like
a command center than a place to relax.” “I feel
like I’m moving at warp speed and I still can’t
get through my “to do” list.” “I want
my life to be more fun. I need to be more playful.” Sound
familiar? Read More... |
Make
Passion Your Middle Name
Have you ever had the experience where you were involved in
an activity and times passed without your having noticed? Think
back to the time before adolescence when you were between the
ages of seven and eleven. What did you love to do? Was it riding
horses? Was it taking acting or pottery classes? Did you love
to play softball or climb trees? Were you a collector of coins,
stamps or postcards from far away places? Did you love to roller
skate or ride bikes with your friends? What did you love to
do? Read More... |

Tips to Create Time for What Matters
Most of us have one
clear priority—get through the day. Sure, no one will
deny the importance of that, but it’s simply not enough.
Most of us rarely stop long enough to consider how we spend
our time and energy. Yet, without determining whether your
priorities match your picture of yourself and your values
you will continually be out of synch with yourself.
At the heart of making the most of life today is the ability
to treasure and protect your connections to what you care
most about, people, places, activities, pets, those things
that are dear to you.
Unless you consciously and deliberately preserve time to
connect with what matters most to you, your connections will
erode. Read More...
