Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..THU.8/18/05

Limit your personal business at work.

Whether you're the boss or the bossed, spending too much job time on your own affairs can leave you tense and guilt-ridden. Not to mention behind in your work. No matter how discreetly you try to get it done, people notice. And some will resent it. Maybe even gripe about it to others. Sure, there's a certain amount of personal stuff everyone does -- has to do -- which is perfectly acceptable. But you know you've crossed the line when you become anxious, furtive, even defensive about it. Look, work is filled with enough stress already, without having to throw more anxiety into the mix. Most personal things can be taken care of in the off hours anyway. You've got a job to do. 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.

Live for today with an eye toward tomorrow.

With so much emphasis on gearing up for the future, you may be missing out on the present! And these are perhaps the best years of your life. Why get so caught up in how great things are GOING to be, you all but ignore the wonderful gifts you have now? Among them: youth, health, children, family, friendships, peace, opportunity. You don't have to attain a certain income level or social status as a qualification to enjoy life. And it's foolish to devote all your energies -- indeed knock yourself out -- on rewards you'll realize only at a distant time (if at all). Granted, you have to move in a general direction that ensures a secure future. But your main focus should be on the here and now. This is your life. It's precious. So make every moment of it count. Why make yourself crazy?
