HAPe4me Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Keys to handling Stress Management Which are your favorites? Which have you done? When you can't stand any more stress: go to the coin laundry and throw in the towel. Play "Go Fish" with a three year old. - Win Replace you "in-box" with a garbage can. When stress takes its toll, ask for a receipt Need to escape the grind? Have an out-of-body experience. Answer a highly technical question in your best donald Duck voice. For comic relief from stree, laugh at inappropriate times. Avoid rush hour stress. Drive slowly, honk and wave at pedestrians Place a mark on your body to show where you've had it up to. For a quiet evening, play a blank cassette at full volume. Wrap yourself in bubble wrap.- roll on the floor. Gazing at water is soothing. Fill the sink and pull up a chair. Glue your old shoes to the ceiling. Pretend that you are someone else. Organize a hum-a-long. It's hard to feel stressed when you are humming. Shake hands enthusiastically with yourself. Urge those who are annoying youto go sit on a rutabaga. Too much to do? Complain loudly and incessantly. You'll get further behind but will feel better. Write a memo congratulating yourself for being so wonderful. Take an eight-hour lunchbreak. Pretend that you're still in control. Fill your hottub with chicken soup. Eat gelatin with chopsticks. Ring somebody's doorbell and run away.

George Aar Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Not on your list, but one I'm going to employ: 25. Take two weeks off and fly to Japan. Go to a Sumo match, eat lots of Sushi and sashimi, get roaring drunk at least two or three times before flying back home... Works for me :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
