Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..THU.12/15/05

Don't forget the little projects.

In our efforts to concentrate on the big kahunas of our life-work, school, family, relationships-we often forget to service the smaller needs: minor repairs and upkeep, organizing cluttered living spaces, catching up on paperwork...in general the everyday maintenance of our lives. Overlooked, these things can pile up, get in our face, detract from our quality of life. Actually, these lesser projects can offer us refreshing breaks from major pursuits. And keeping pace with them will impart a sense of order and satisfaction, that things are under control. So take care of the little stuff, too. Why make yourself crazy?

Recognize when you've attained "enough".

One of the weaknesses of our culture is not stopping, or even knowing, when we've achieved enough. Which leads to excess, exhaustion, egotism, insatiable appetites, and damaged relationships. Learn the point at which you've worked enough, rested enough, spoken enough, eaten enough, drunk enough, exercised enough, complained enough, and beaten your opponent enough. Know when you've accumulated enough possessions, taken on enough debt, received enough praise. In recognizing these limits, you can eliminate the lack of fulfillment and sense of futility we feel when we can never achieve "enough". Why make yourself crazy?
