Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..THU.7/21/05

Ask for help.

Whenever you reach a frustrating impasse -- in your work, home projects, business transactions, travel, relationships, or any other area -- and you don't know where to turn...ask for help. From friends, associates, professionals, even strangers. If you're too proud to seek assistance, or fear it's a sign of weakness (which it's not), you're only compounding your stress and futility. Most people are more than happy to share their knowledge, wisdom and expertise. (Indeed, they welcome the opportunity to show it off.) Just don't abuse their generosity, or bother them with trivial things you can easily take care of yourself. Know the point where trying to go it alone crosses the line from persevering to pigheaded. Ask for help. Why make yourself crazy?

Based on G. Gaynor McTigue's acclaimed book Why Make Yourself Crazy? featured in major publications and on talk shows across America.

Get it right the first time.

So much of what is done today is done poorly. In a rush, haphazardly. Fraught with error, oversights, delays, sloppiness. All in the name of "I'm just so busy." This leaves you with feelings of uneasiness, that can build into bouts of anxiety, unworthiness, even depression. It invites the frequent disapproval of others. And often has you going back to amend, correct, do things over, ever apologizing for your performance, or lack of it. That's why it's so essential to do things right, right from the start. Accurately and assuredly. With no careless inefficiencies, no time-consuming re-dos, no recriminations, no squandering of nonproductive stress energy. Take the time. You'll not only do more, you'll enjoy it more. And earn the esteem of others and yourself. Why make yourself crazy
