GIVE OVER 100%.... 
How about ACHIEVING 101%? 
What equals 100% in life? 

Most people experience less leisure and more daily stress as they juggle work and career, family, and friends.  In spite of life’s demands, there are some simple, effective steps that can be taken to ease up on daily pressures.  Here are 16 ways to reduce stress during the workday.  Choose those that work best for you and practice them often.  Why?  Because your health (physical, mental, spiritual) is much more important to your joy than material things.  Here’s to your heath!

1. Begin the day with a brief prayer and meditation:  Rather than jumping out of bed and rushing to start your day, take a few minutes – from five to 20 – to pray, meditate, read a short inspiring passage, think peaceful thoughts, appreciate God’s gift of a new, fresh day.  Beginning this way gives you a sense of peace that will manifest itself all day.
2. Apply the wisdom of Paul to your daily living:  “Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable…think about such things” (Philippians 4:8 NIV).  Those words are a reminder to think positively.  During the day when you face a crisis, think challenge.  When you face an obstacle, think opportunity.  Approaching any stressful event positively will boost your energy.
3. Remember, you get to make mistakes:  “Many people start sinking into despair or scolding themselves unmercifully after making a mistake,” observes Charlotte Davis Kasl, Ph.D., a psychologist and author of Finding Joy.  “The important thing to remember is that everyone makes mistakes…so ease up on yourself.”
4. Create peaceful images in your mind:  Several times during your workday, pause briefly to create a peaceful image in your mind.  For example, picture yourself gently canoeing on a calm, still lake with the sun shining brilliantly.  Or imagine yourself sitting quietly on a hillside where you are completely surrounded by beautiful wildflowers.
