Stress

The following is an unashamed list of ways to give yourself permission to simply be

what you are called to be.. Happy!

You could probably reflect on a different one each day and ask

what you need to do or not do to keep that ‘commandment’

Ten ‘Commandments’ for Reducing Stress

I shall not be perfect or even try to be

I shall not endeavour to be all things to all people

I shall leave things undone that ought to be done

I shall not spread myself too thin

I shall learn to say “No”

I shall schedule time for myself and for my support network

I shall switch off and do nothing regularly

I shall feel free to be boring, untidy, inelegant and unattractive at times

I shall not even feel guilty

Most important of all I shall not be my own worst enemy

but you shall be my own best friend.
