Say No to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule or that
will compromise your mental health.
Delegate tasks to capable
others.
Simplify and unclutter your life.
Less is more. (Although one is
often not enough, two are often too many.)
Allow extra time to do things and
to get to places.
Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult
projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together.
Take one day at
a time.
Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find
out what God would have you to do and let goof the anxiety. If you can’t do
anything about a situation, forget it.
Live within your budget; don’t use
credit cards for ordinary purchases.
Have backups; an extra car key in your
wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.

people.
Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
Remember that the
shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you, Dear
Lord!”
Laugh.
Laugh some more!
Take your work seriously, but
yourself, not at all.
Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing
the best they can).
Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the
most).

Talk less; listen more.

down.
Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
The one in control, He is IN control!

before.
