5 things that have helped me control anxiety

Stress in life is inevitable. Murphy's law states, “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” I have learned that there is absolutely no way to avoid stress. It is simply a matter of adaptation. There are five things that have helped me to cope with stress. The first is planning ahead. I typically plan my day the night before. This enables me to prioritize tasks and it promotes efficient time management. Secondly, I delegate. I simply do not waste time doing things that I can train others to do. Next is being organized. A cluttered mind is often the reflection of a cluttered space. Fourth on the list is procrastination. It has taken me years to understand that procastination is a habit. Like all habits it can be broken. Studies have shown that once a person starts a task, there is a high probability of completing the task…so just START! The last, but certainly not the least significant thing that has helped me cope with stress is ATTITUDE. Above anything else I keep a positive attitude. It is ancient wisdom that we are and will become what we think about…so think positively.
