Stress Tip..by
G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE
5/16/06 Tell them you'll get back to them. When
people ask you point blank to do something -- like volunteer, go on a date, buy
something, change your schedule, do them a favor, or donate money -- don't feel
you have to answer right away. Even if they pressure you to do so. Surprise tactics
aren't fair. And could force you to commit to something you'll later regret. Tell
them: "I have to think about it." Or, "I'll get back to you."
Or, "I need to check on something first." If that doesn't satisfy them,
decline altogether. Being too accommodating is probably what has you stressed
out in the first place. It's time you looked out for yourself. Why make yourself
crazy? Today's Health Headlines Previous Stress Tip Keep your dinner guests out of the kitchen. What could be more nerve-wracking than trying to prepare a meal while your guests are pelting you with questions, getting in your way, engaging you in distracting conversation? To avoid this, strive to have things pretty much wrapped up by the time people arrive. Barring that, if they do attempt to infiltrate your cooking space, lure them out with a dish of irresistible hors d'oeuvres and join them briefly in another room. Then subtly excuse yourself and slip away to finish preparations. Why make yourself crazy?
