Over 35 Ways of Controlling Stress: Absolutely Necessary to Control Smoking and Weight!

* Play Romane's stress control seminar recordings, and read "The Wellness Journey".
* Use deep breathing exercises.
* Make an appointment for deep muscle massage.
* Tense up all parts of your body one at a time and let go and relax.
* Exercise with a brisk walk, hike, swim, bicycle, go to a gym or buy or rent your own equipment.
* Use self-hypnosis. Lie down and relax your body step by step. Remember a peaceful place in detail, using all your senses. Really be there in your imagination.
* Meditate: sit quietly, eyes closed. Slowly focus over and over on one word such as "calm", or "peace", or "relax".
* Talk to a friend, counsellor, minister, or physician. Follow your physician's advice!
* Change your diet: less salt, less sugar, less alcohol, less fat, less meat, less coffee; more fluids, fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and fish. Enjoy a balanced meal plan for proper nutrition.
* Listen to relaxing nature sound recordings, New Age or Classical music which induces slower, deeper breathing.
* Drive to a peaceful park, forest, beach, mountain or meadow.
* Take the day off or go on vacation.
* Phone your local hospital to find out when the next stress reduction class will be held.
* Start a new hobby such as painting, ceramics, sailing, tennis, yoga, etc.
* Be assertive, not aggressive. Take a self-assertion course at a school or university.
* Have a warm bath at 92 degrees F. with pleasant bath oil.
* Drink chamomile tea.
* See a foot reflexologist for better circulation.
* Listen to a comedy recording; watch a live comedy show or video.
* Stretch.
* Volunteer to help others for diversion; new activities; new friends. What will you have given during your lifetime?
* Change your daily routine, dress, route to work, furniture arrangement, etc.
* Set up a regular time to relax, a "relaxation break" instead of a coffee break.
* Change your attitude. Why does the same event bother some people, but not others? You don't always have to be right. You have a choice.
* Avoid over-scheduling yourself for too many tasks.
* Avoid "keeping up with the Joneses".
* Make a daily "to do" list to tackle items in order of priority.
* Don't spend $100 worth of energy for a 10-cent problem.
* Break down a major task into several small tasks.
* Delegate work to others.
* Set realistic goals.
* Give compliments and enjoy taking compliments.
* Never say, "I can't do this or that". You get what you think about.
* Make a list of tension reducers and things to do "to get outside of yourself".
* Make your personal and family life a priority over other demands.
* Balance work with play, proper diet, sleep, exercise and relaxation.
* Be thankful for your comfortable bed, friends, food, water, a chance to work, freedom, and many other blessings!
