10 Ways to Lighten-Up When You’re Under Pressure…


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.
