Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..FRI 7/7/06

Cut down on competitive stress.

Today, we compete for everything. We feel compelled to. We compete for the space around us, the shortest checkout line, to be first to own a new product, to get our kids signed up for programs, to get our viewpoints across, to be faster, smarter, richer, sexier. Our days are filled with stressful competitions. And most are absolutely unnecessary. Because they're driven by insecurity, fear of being left behind, an ingrained need to always have more or better than the next guy. Try to get above all that. If you want to compete, vie to be the one who stays calm and in control, who isn't easily sucked in by material things, who avoids being caught up in the daily grab-bag that robs people of health and peace of mind. Compete for that and see how pointless all those other competitions become. And how misguided those who partake in them begin to appear. Why make yourself crazy?

Dance.

Few activities deliver as many benefits. Yet too few people ever take advantage of them. Dancing is fun. An easy way to make friends. Great exercise. And an excellent way to release tension and stress. There are dances for every taste and ability -- from ballroom to break, swing to free form. Take lessons and become a skilled dancer. Or just get silly dancing with the kids, friends, or yourself in front of the mirror. Why wait for that infrequent wedding or social event to reap the pleasures of dancing? Plan an evening of dancing out. Or stay in. Just roll up the rug, kick up your heels and start moving to the music. Why make yourself crazy?
