Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..MON.04/25/05

It ain't over until the check clears.

Always remember this: the most difficult thing to exact from another human being is money. People will subject you to the most imaginative array of excuses, promises, delays, apologies, and evasions before they ever see fit to cough up the dough. And few things are more stressful than having to wait even a second longer than necessary for the sum that is due you. So never let the allure of money impair your judgment of another's ability and willingness to pay. And never be so foolhardy as to think you're in the chips until the check has cleared and the funds are safely tucked away in your account. Why make yourself crazy?

Don't groom your kids for a life of stress.

In your efforts to expose your child to every known activity, sport and pursuit on the planet, you may be guaranteeing them one thing. A stressed-out future. Regardless of what you tell them, rushing frantically from venue to venue sends the message that this is the way life proceeds. They'll inevitably follow suit. Start setting a different example now. Pare down activities so each one can be more richly and leisurely enjoyed. Build in more free, unpressured time that lets their imaginations take flight. Kids are notoriously overscheduled. And they hardly need to experience everything before adulthood, or what will be left? Removing that stress from their life -- and yours -- will leave everyone healthier and happier. Why make yourself crazy?
