Stress Management Tip #7

Compose a Mantra Devise an affirmation statement, a short, clear, positive statement that focuses on your coping abilities. Silence the self-critical voice we all carry with us that only adds to our stress. Example: “I feel calm. I can handle this.” “I am strong, I can do this.” “I am too blessed to be stressed!”

I used to say, "Ain't no thing, I have had MUCH worse!" My friend in college used to say, "At least I'm not y0u!" Sounds like he was ahead of his time, he had a stress reduction mantra and it really worked!
