Here are the “10 Commandments to Reduce Stress” (from www.medical-masterclass.com). I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.
Thou shalt not be perfect or even try
Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people
Thou shalt leave undone things that ought to be done
Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin
Thou shalt learn to say “NO”
Thou shalt make time for thyself
Thou shalt learn to switch off and do nothing regularly
Thou shalt be boring, untidy and unattractive at times
Thou shalt not feel guilty
Thou shalt not be thine own enemy
If you feel like: There aren’t enough hours in the day. You can’t think of what day it is. You haven’t done anything that YOU want to do for ages. You can’t see too far into the future
…then these commandments are for You.
