Stress Tip..by
G. Gaynor McTigue..WED.04/13/05 When you hit an obstacle, go around it. Not
through it. Not over it. Around it. You'll find that most of life's travails can
be deftly circumvented rather than toughed out. Avoided instead of confronted.
You may think that's a copout, sign of a weak character. On the contrary. It's
smart. How do you think those in power and authority stay that way? By sidestepping
the sucker punches. By choosing their fights judiciously. And infrequently. The
reality is, we can ill afford to exhaust our energies rising to meet every challenge
that's thrown at us. It's a sure recipe for becoming a burned-out walking zombie.
Don't always feel you have to battle it out on the high road. Know when to seek
the path of least resistance. Why make yourself crazy? Make StressHoliday.com your home page and be greeted each weekday morning with a new stress-reducing strategy! Based
on G. Gaynor McTigue's acclaimed book Why Make Yourself Crazy? featured
in major publications and on talk shows across America.
Work at being patient. Patience
is not something you have, it is something you do. It is a disservice to say of
someone "I wish I had her patience," as if it was merely a possession
that doesn't require much effort. Patience is work, difficult work. But for those
who strive for it, the rewards are many: smoother relationships, fewer conflicts,
less stress, and an ability to stick it out long enough to gain a deeper understanding
and enjoyment of life. Next time you lament "I have no patience for that,"
realize that you COULD have the patience, and all its attendant benefits, if you
simply worked at it. Why make yourself crazy?
