Stressed ?.... a few tips to follow

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh

For the past week, dozens of things happened... some where bad, some where great.. al 7amd lellah for both.

Today, I found an article that lists 52 tips to reveal the stress (or to avoid it)..
I picked 15 points:

1. Do nothing which, after being done, leads you to tell a lie.
2. Practice preventive maintenance. Your car, appliances, home, and relationships will be less likely to break down/fall apart "at the worst possible moment.
3. Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today; whatever you want to do today, do it now.
4. Plan ahead. Don't let the gas tank get below one-quarter full; keep a well-stocked "emergency shelf" of home staples; don't wait until you're down to your last bus token or postage stamp to buy more; etc.
5. Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. Plan to arrive at an airport one hour before domestic departures
6. Simplify, simplify, simplify. . .
7. Make friends with non-worriers. Nothing can get you into the habit of worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.
8. When the stress of having to get a job done gets in the way of getting the job done, diversion - a voluntary change in activity and/or environment - may be just what you need.
9. Learn to live one day at a time.
10. Do something for somebody else.
11. Become more flexible. Some things are worth not doing perfectly and some issues are fine to compromise upon.
12. Eliminate destructive self-talk: "I'm too old to. . .," "I'm too fat to. . .," etc.
13. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing something or saying anything that could make matters worse
14. Have a forgiving view of events and people. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world.
15. Have an optimistic view of the world. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.
