Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE.9/13/05

Enjoy the stress-reducing effects of mind travel.

Physically removing yourself from a stressful environment with a night out, weekend away or a vacation itself is the ideal escape. But when that isn't possible, indulge in a stress-releasing mind trip. Close your eyes and imagine someplace you'd truly love to be: beach, mountains, woods, resort, island...any visualized setting that calms you down. Try not to force it or focus too hard, but take a more relaxed daydream approach, letting the details fill themselves in. As your stress eases, you'll see how effective the power of suggestion can be. When your mind travels, there are no budget restrictions, reservations to make, passports required, or tickets to purchase. Go where you want, whenever you want and do what you wish. It works. Why make yourself crazy?

Don't mix personal politics with office politics.

Talk to a man for half an hour and he will more than likely incautiously reveal his political leanings. Women are more discreet in this regard. While it might be reassuring to find people at work who share your political views, it's a good bet others don't. And proclaiming your beliefs too righteously or frequently can create tension and stress around you. Even provoke ridicule. There's also the possibility that those in authority will take umbrage at your decided opinions. Be open to diverse points of view and sensitive to offending others or making them uncomfortable. In the same way another's impassioned rants might make you feel. As a rule, it's best to keep personal politics out of the workplace. Why make yourself crazy?
