Is there a woman alive who doesn’t suffer from stress? If there is, seek her
out, ask her to share her wisdom. When you find her, I’d be willing to bet
she’ll offer the following suggestions:

Cultivate gratitude.
Carve out an hour a day for solitude.
Begin and end the day with prayer, meditation, reflection.
Keep it simple.

Keep your house picked up.
Don’t overschedule.
Strive for realistic deadlines.
Never make a promise you can’t keep.

Allow an extra hour for everything you do.
Create quiet surroundings at home and at work.
Go to bed at nine o’clock twice a week.
Always carry something interesting to read.

Breathe – deeply and often.
Move – walk, dance, run, find a sport you enjoy.
Drink pure spring water. Lots of it.
Eat only when hungry.

If it’s not delicious, don’t eat it.
Be instead of do.
Set aside one day a week for rest and renewal.
Laugh more often.

Luxurate in your senses.
Always opt for comfort.
If you don’t love it, live without it.
Let Mother Nature nurture.

Don’t answer the telephone during diner.
Stop trying to please everybody.
Start pleasing yourself.
Stay away from negative people.

Don’t squander precious resources; time, creative energy, emotion.
Nurture friendships.
Don’t be afraid of your passion.
Approach problems as challenges.

For every “yes,” let there be a “no.”
