How To Get By With A Smile

1. Go to bed on time....and if that doesn't work - just go to bed sometime. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
2. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
3. Say "No" to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
4. Delegate tasks to capable others.
5. Simplify and unclutter your life......Just when were you planning to get to all of those piles on your desk anyways?
6. Get organized so everything has its place....Now we are back to those piles on your desk....
7. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places....It is finding the extra time that is the hard part.....
8. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
9. Take one day at a time.....If it doesn't get done one day - maybe it wasn't supposed to get done?
10. Separate worries from concerns. If you can't do anything about a situation ... forget it.
11. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. Talk less and listen more.
12. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
13. Get enough exercise and eat right. Chocolate is not a major food group. Swimming is a wonderful stress reducer. Take a leisurely walk in a relaxing atmosphere.
14. Take your work seriously, but yourself not at all. Laugh - then laugh some more. Look for humor and laugh out loud every day.
15. Slow down - Every day, find time to be alone. Plan to use at least 20 minutes a day to pamper yourself. Soak in a hot tub with bubble bath or scented oils. Get a soothing massage.
16. For those trying to do it all.... Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
17. Get together with a friend and talk about what's bothering you.  
18. Find an opportunity to take a 10 to 15 minute nap.
19. Listen to some favorite music while relaxing.
20. Take some deep breaths for stress elimination

NOW GET ON WITH YOUR DAY, THE HAPPY WAY :)
