1. Get up 15 minutes earlier in the morning. The
inevitable morning mishaps will be less stressful.
2. Don't rely on your memory: Write down
appointment times, due dates, etc. "The palest ink is better than the most
retentive memory." —Old Chinese Proverb.
3. Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want
to do tomorrow, do it today; whatever you want to do today, do it now.
4. Plan ahead. Don’t let the gas tank get below
one-quarter full. Don't wait until you're down to your last bus token or postage
stamp to buy more.
5. Don't put up with something that doesn't work
right. If your alarm clock, billfold, shoelaces windshield wipers, or whatever
are a constant aggravation, get them fixed or get new ones.
6. Be prepared to wait. A paperback can make
waiting in a post office line almost pleasant.
7. For every one thing that goes wrong, there are
probably 10 or 50 or 100 blessings. Count them.
8. Turn needs into preferences. Our basic physical
needs translate into food, water, and warmth. Everything else is a preference. Don't get attached to preferences.
9. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
10, Make friends with non-worriers. Nothing can get
you into the habit of worrying faster than associating with chronic worrywarts.
11. Create order out of chaos. Organize your home
and workspace so you always know exactly where items are. Put items away where
they belong, and you won't have to go through the stress of losing them.
12. Add an ounce of love to everything you
do.
13. Become more flexible. Recognize you may need to
change your expectations.
14. Eliminate destructive self-talk: "I'm too old
to...," I'm too fat to...," etc.
15; Take care of the todays as best you can, and
the yesterdays and the tomorrows will take care of themselves.
16. Do one activity at a time. When you are with
someone, be with that person and with no one or nothing else. When you are busy
with a project, concentrate on doing that project and forget about everything
else you have to do.
17. If an especially "unpleasant" task faces you,
do it early in the day and get it over with. Then the rest of your day will be
free of anxiety.
18. Learn to delegate responsibility to capable
others.
19. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000
before you do or say anything that could make matters worse.
20. Have a forgiving view of events and people.
Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world.

Massage Oil Is A Must For The Ultimate Full Body Massage
Massage Oil Is A Must For The Ultimate Full Body Massage
By Tangopang
If you’ve ever had a full body massage, you will know that masseuses usually use massage oil to perform the various techniques they use to relax you and to perform a great body massage. Using massage oil is a must if the masseuse hopes to dig deep into the muscle and ligament without causing undue discomfort. This is because using massage oil makes the hands slippery, which reduces the friction and chances of getting skin burn as the masseuse works his or her magic on your tired body.
Various Massage Oil Scents Are Available
Massage oil comes in a variety of scents, some scents are tailored towards a totally relaxing experience, which makes for a great full body massage. If you’ve never had a massage before using one of the scented oils, ask your masseuse to use it on
you the enxt time you get a body massage. You will love the way the various scents as it relaxes all your muscles and, essentially, take you to another place.
However, the massage oil does not need to be scented in order for it to work. All you have to do is to feel the masseuses well oiled hands on your skin and tired muscles to tell how effective using massage oil truly is. There is no discomfort as the masseuse slides his or her hands over your muscles, digging in deep to get out any tight knots that may have formed from stress.
Stress can cause all sorts of problems if leaves untreated. There are many ways to relieve stress, but a good body massage is still one of the best. It’s relaxing, for one, and it’s almost as if you are king or queen for a day, or an hour at the very least. There’s nothing else like having a great body massage. So, if you feel stressed, go schedule an appointment with a masseuse today. Most charge by the hour and the rates vary so make sure you shop around for a good deal. The best way to find a reliable masseuse is to ask your friends or coworkers to recommend one.
Let’s face it, we live in a very stressful times. Everyone experiences stress at some point in their lives and a massage with massage oil is the perfect way to relieve that body and mental stress. If you’ve never had a massage before, you should
schedule one today. When you’re in the room with the masseuse, ask them if you can have scented massage oil for the body treatment. If not, ask them if they offer various massage oils.
They will explain what each oil does and, when they finally get to work, you’ll have a chance to finally relax your tired body and you’ll never want another massage unless they are using your favorite massage oil.

THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU
THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU
Source: Email contribution
1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.
2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste ... and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
5. If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
8. It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don't take a day off because of bad weather.
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on it.)
10. Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.
11. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into a kids rooms.
12. You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com.)
14. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook.
15. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors.
16. I'll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go back to what he was doing. It's human nature.
17. I'm not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
18. I love looking in your windows. I'm looking for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets.
19. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook/MySpace/Blog pages. It's easier than you think to look up your address.
20. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it's an invitation.
21. If you don't answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
