Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..FRI.03/18/05

Life is a bakery.

There are so many tempting things to taste, you wish you could try them all. If you did this at the bakery, of course, you'd soon be sick to your stomach. Yet in life we often exhibit no such restraint, grabbing and devouring everything in sight. The stress that ensues is the stomachache of our indulgence. And in our surfeited, half-crazed state, we barely enjoy what we're doing anyway, pinballing from one thing to the next, not even knowing exactly why. Life is sweet. Savor each of its offerings unhurriedly, in its own time, in its own way, in the manner it was meant to be enjoyed. Why rush? Like the baker's, there will always be something new to try, always plenty of treats in store. Why make yourself crazy?

Previous Stress Tip

Don't let stress play havoc with your memory.

And well it might. When you're constantly stressed, you can't remember much of anything. You forget the simplest things, like names and phone numbers (even your own!). Think how impossible it is to find something when you're rushing out the door. Or recall a computer procedure when you're under the gun. Here's a temporary fix. Take a deep breath and relax to unclutter your mind. Even take your mind off it for a moment (like not looking directly at an object to see it better in the dark). It'll come to you. But that's not the answer. Losing the stress is. If you want to improve your memory...simply remember to keep applying these stress-reducing strategies. Why make yourself crazy?
