1. No Act Rule. Don’t react so quickly to things,especially negative circumstances. Sometimes we stress ourselves out by actingtoo fast and regretting it later. The negative email response we send out, theemotional yelling at an argument, etc. Some things are better left to bethought about and some reactions are better to be delayed. Give yourself somecooling off time.
2. Fact Only (No Interpretations). See things interms of facts, not your interpretation. Your friend didn’t call you like hepromised. Fact: He didn’t call you. Interpretation: He’s forgotten about you.Just react on the facts. Your interpretations may be wrong and they’re justgoing to give you unneccesary stress.
3. No Emotion. Try to live life with less or noemotion. Emotions are fleeting and they make our states go UP and DOWN. Whenit’s up, it’s great! But when it’s down, we feel stressed. Try to flatten youremotion. Everything is just IS.
4. Focus on Solution, not the Problem. Look forsolutions in your challenges. Dwelling on the problem and how bad your life iswon’t help. Focusing on solutions unleashes your resources.
5. Know What You Want. Motivate yourself forwardby having clear goals. Visualize them clearly and you will have the drive to gothrough the challenges necessary to achieve them.
6. Set Some Rules to Achieve Your Goals. Now thatyou’ve got a goal, what are the rules you must obey to achieve them? For him,it was a more balanced and healthier life. So Rule #1: No Work on Weekends. Setit, obey it… and your life will change.
7. Change Your Environment. Find people that willsupport your rules. Change your environment, friends, work if necessary. The #1person in your life is YOU.
8. Say YES!! Yes to opportunities, fun things, newpeople, and anything that will get you to where you want to go.
9. What Other People Think is Not Important. Youcan spend your life trying to be “acceptable” to everyone and it willl never beachieved. Just set your goals and be true to yourself. You are a beautifulcreation.
10. Remember theLaw of Diminishing Returns. Something that may work well will also diminish ineffectiveness over time. Always learn something new so that you will have newideas and strategies to sustain the peace and happiness in your life.
