10 Ways to Lighten-Up When You’re Under
Pressure…
Do
you find yourself feeling increasingly pressured with day-to-day demands? In today’s complex and ever-changing world,
it’s easy to find yourself overwhelmed.
But there is help. Try these 10
ways to lighten up when you’re feeling under pressure about buying a home in Park City Utah:
1. Laughter is
contagious. It’s also inexpensive medicine. When
you need a chuckle, call a humor-buddy or find people who make you laugh, says
Allen Klein, best-selling author and humorist keynote speaker.
2. Go to the movies. You
can take a two hour mini-vacation just by going to the movies. Movies also can
be a source of laughter, fun, and release, and give you a new perspective and
energy.
3. Make humor a
priority. Look for humor in everyday
situations. Ask yourself “How would a
6-year-old child deal with this? How
would an 80-year-old person handle it?
How would your dog or cat cope with the situation?”
5. Plan a
vacation. Take
a mental vacation by planning a real vacation.
It’ll help you let off some steam, and give you a goal to work
toward.
6. Take a drive to
one of your favorite spots and breathe.
It’s amazing what a small getaway to an
enjoyable location can do to restore your batteries.
7. Create a good
mood. Listen to
music that soothes you. Take some private quiet time to close your eyes and
relax. When you’re in a good mood you feel better and you can think more clearly.
8. Reduce your
workload and delegate. If you can’t get all your work done,
delegate what you can, and find extra help if necessary.
9. Reward yourself.
After you’ve finished one of your goals for the day, do something special for
yourself (rent a movie, go for a bike ride, read, hotair balloon ride).
10. Acknowledge your
limits. You may need to accept that you can’t
do everything you’d planned and that something needs to be postponed. It’s not
always easy to admit it, but it’s important to know your limits.
