Great stuff, Ron! ‘Scuse me for sounding like a preacher (imagine that), but having some sort of spiritual component – prayer, meditation, etc., is also helpful for me.

The list you posted is both positive and negative (in a good way) for me. It was positive in the sense that it reinforced some of the things I've been doing. It was negative in the sense that it confronted me of those things I had not done yet. Thank for a helpful post. Cheers!

Found your blog through blogpost.

The list you posted is both positive and negative (in a good way) for me.

It was positive in the sense that it reinforced some of the things I’ve been doing.

It was negative in the sense that it confronted me of those things I had not done yet.

Thank for a helpful post.

Part of the trouble for me is consistently finding an hour during the day. So I try to break it up. When I need a break, I do push-ups right in my office. Or I grab my weights and do a few curls. I'd even like to put a spinning cycle in my office. Then, I could get some cardio too, and maybe even read while I spin along. Now all I need to do is make more of those fitness mini-breaks to get in decent shape! Ron: I also find it hard to keep exercise in the stress-reliever mix.

I wish I had remembered when I wrote this one, but I linked to yours. If we both follow our own advice, we should be pretty relaxed by now, don't you think? :) Jeff@My Super-Charged Life »

I know I often create my own stress my pressuring myself when it really isn't necessary. I also think that breathing exercises can be particularly helpful at reducing stress. These are all excellent ideas.
