Get up fifteen minutes earlier in the morning. You will have a chance to take things slowly.   Prepare for the morning the evening before. Set the breakfast table, make lunches, put out the clothes you plan to wear, etc.   Don't rely on your memory. Write down appointment times, when library books are due etc.   Make duplicates of all keys. Bury a house key in a secret spot in the garden and carry a duplicate car key in your wallet, apart from your key ring.   If you are caught in a queue, learn to relax and make the most of the time to look around or take a book in your pocket or bag for just these moments.   Procrastination is stressful. Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do today - that way you can stop worrying about it.   Allow fifteen minutes extra time to get to appointments.   Relax your standards. The world will not end if the grass doesn't get mowed this weekend.   Learn to say no and mean it - the other person will respect you if you say it assertively with a smile.   Use an answering machine - you won't need to answer if you don't feel you want to and you won't worry about missing calls.   Get enough sleep. If necessary, use an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.   Learn to breathe. Check your breathing throughout the day and before, during and after high-pressure situations. If you find your stomach muscles knotted and your breathing is shallow, relax all your muscles and take several deep, slow breaths.   Learn to live one day at a time.   Every day, do something you really enjoy.   Finally, make time to relax and enjoy your life - you only get one.
