Self Care And Stress

                                                                                         

This one's for all of you who feel like all the little things in your life are out of control. lf you have so many things to do that you can't seem to finish any of them, take thirty minutes and complete just one of the short chores listed below. You'll get a feeling of accomplishment you could never get from half finishing twenty different chores. None of these chores takes very long, but they are all things that a lot of people have a hard time getting around to. When they remain undone, they weigh on your mind and add to your stress and the sense that you aren't able to keep things under control. Doing just one thing on this list each day can make a huge difference in how you feel about yourself. Try it for a week. You'll see.

*

Clean out your car. Throw out all the trash, return the recyclables, put everything back in the house that belongs in the house, and attack those floor mats with the hand vac. Then, wipe down the windows with glass cleaner.
*

Clean out your purse or wallet. Throw away all the junk you don't need. File the receipts. Put everything in the right place. Flatten out your money and stack it so that all the bills face the right way. Clean out all the loose change and put it in a jar somewhere. (If you do this every day, you may soon have enough change in that jar to cover college tuition.)
*

Clean out the coat closet. Take out all the things that don't belong in there and put them away properly. Hang up all the coats that have fallen or have half fallen off the hangers. Store all the scarves, hats, mittens, and earmuffs in a bin. Give away all the stuff that doesn't fit anymore or that nobody wants. Wow! Who knew you had all that space in there?
*

Balance your checkbook. Quit griping or dreading it. Just go do it.
*

Call the dentist and make that appointment. And keep the appointment!
*

Go to your desk and take one manageable stack from your many stacks of things that need to be filed or put away, and file or put away everything in that one pile.
*

Drink a really big glass of water, all the way. Finish the whole thing.
* Make your bed. Just do it.
