Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..FRI.7/22/05

Create a garden.

Why do so many people around the world resort to gardening to escape the rigors and pressures of their day jobs? And swear by it? For one, it brings you back to earth. Literally. It fosters nurturing, caring and growth. You can't rush it (thankfully). It involves good physical effort. You see the results of that effort. You can take pride in it. And create something of beauty and value. It's life the way it once was, before it became drowned in complexity. It's instinctive. So if you're looking for the antithesis of what you do now, go green. Create a garden. Start small and build. Don't have available land? Do it indoors, with potted plants and imaginative interior landscapes. It may be new, alien and unfamiliar to you. But that's part of the appeal. 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.

Ask for help.

Whenever you reach a frustrating impasse -- in your work, home projects, business transactions, travel, relationships, or any other area -- and you don't know where to turn...ask for help. From friends, associates, professionals, even strangers. If you're too proud to seek assistance, or fear it's a sign of weakness (which it's not), you're only compounding your stress and futility. Most people are more than happy to share their knowledge, wisdom and expertise. (Indeed, they welcome the opportunity to show it off.) Just don't abuse their generosity, or bother them with trivial things you can easily take care of yourself. Know the point where trying to go it alone crosses the line from persevering to pigheaded.
