Having a Bad Hair Day?

[Lisa23]

I'm wondering what people out there do to get themselves moving, when it's tough to get moving....


Here’s a few actions I take to keep my stress level down-
1) Stay Proactive-


2) Remember that “perfection is not just elusive, it is an illusion. ” **


3) “And control is an illusion, too.”

“God,
Grant Me the Serenity to Accept the Things I Can Not Change,
the Courage to Change the Things I Can,
and the Wisdom to Know the Difference.”

Kind of corny but, hey, it works.

And lastly,
4) Turn your mind off. I do it with exercise, and writing this blog. Many people meditate, or have a hobby. When I give my head a break, I’m calmer, more at peace, and ultimately, stronger to deal.

What are some ways you handle stress?

Great point about perfection being an illusion. I think too many people today are trying to have it all. That leads to all kinds of incredible stress.

Of course, I never compromise on things that truly need to be perfect, like the perfect ice cream.

I don't agree. Perfection for me is the result of your best efforts.
