Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..MON.05/30/05

Be honest.

Live with integrity and you'll deal with a lot less stress in your life. Because dishonesty, deception, cheating -- aside from their obvious moral implications -- require constant, nerve-wracking upkeep...covering your tracks, deluding others, living with the specter of getting caught. However small our dishonesties (and who among us is guiltless?), they will exact a costly toll in undermining our sense of security, well-being and self-respect. Which may explain why some of the most honest people we know -- regardless of their circumstances -- are also the happiest. When we come clean, and live clean, a huge burden is lifted. Why make yourself crazy?

You can't say it. But you can think it!

It's frustrating when your position or political correctness force you to bite your tongue or sweeten your words when you'd much prefer to tell someone off in no uncertain terms. But there's nothing preventing you from expressing your true feelings internally. For example, you might say to your boss, "Sure, I can to do that," while adding in your mind "but it's a really stupid idea." Or you ask the sales clerk "Can I get some help here?" while thinking "Stop yakking and do your job!" Cheeky internal dialogue is an effective way to release tension and even lighten a stressful situation by injecting some irreverent humor into your thoughts. (Just don't forget yourself and blurt it out loud.) Why make yourself crazy?
