[QUOTE="Andy, post: 183033, member: 5096"] [CENTER][COLOR=purple]Slow down, Relax, and Enjoy![/COLOR][/CENTER] [COLOR=teal][/COLOR] This was my theme one year as a state program manager for Focus on Women in an organization I belonged to. Slow down is the time management of your life. Don't wait until the last minute - that can cause stress when an unexpected event comes up. My example for that was that my child came down with chicken pox the day before a mailing was due out for the entire state. If I had waited until the last minute to do it, it would not have gotten done and I would have stressed. So I always try to give myself extra time to get anything done. I set deadlines earlier than needed. Relax - we all need to take time to pamper ourselves, to reenergize. Enjoy - have fun! Look for the good in life. I was so proud of myself a few weeks ago - we ended up in a traffic jam and was 20 min late for difficult child's therapist appointment. Instead of stewing in the vehicle and letting my anger rise, I instead stayed calm and noticed the beautiful wildflowers/weeds growing on the edge of the freeway. The only time my blood pressure went up was when we came to a stop under a bridge - even difficult child tensed - we both let our imaginations run the wrong way in that moment. :) Manage your time - pamper yourself - have fun [/QUOTE]
