Stress Tip..by
G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE.03/08/05 Eliminate stress-induced writer's block. Whether
it's a business memo, presentation, report, article, or even an important email...when
you're under stress the words don't flow. The thought process jams, the creative
juices dry up. Here's what to do. Take a deep breath, relax and clear your mind.
Then get something down. Anything. If you can't find the right words, just get
the thoughts out no matter how crude they sound. (Like an artist doing a rough
sketch.) Now at least you have something to work with, to edit, to improve --
and the stress will begin to ease. Each time you revisit the piece, you'll find
a way to refine, reorganize and add to it, and you'll soon have the project in
hand. 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. Make
StressHoliday.com your home page and be greeted each weekday morning with a new
stress-reducing strategy!
Cooking is a microcosm of life. It
involves on a smaller scale a lot of the same skills and attitudes we need to
survive out in the world. For example, a meal has to be thought out beforehand,
so it requires good planning skills. Ingredients have to be purchased, calling
for knowledge, judgment and economy. Artistic ability comes into play in the meal's
makeup and presentation. Most importantly, everything must be orchestrated to
be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Finally, it should all be done in
a spirit of conviviality and graciousness. If you can master the challenges of
cooking, you'll be more than rewarded with great meals...you'll develop the skills
to succeed at pretty much everything else. Why make yourself crazy?
