Reflect, relax, restore

Unhook daily. Most of us spend so much time on the input-output cycle, we don’t give adequate time to simply absorbing it all says Mark of Mark's Daily Apple fame. 
 
“Think positive” is nice advice, but it’s tough to do if you are at your limit. It’s easier to find an action that naturally lends itself to positive thinking and feeling, rather than trying to control your thoughts. That in and of itself can become stressful.  Fuming not recommended.

Find an immersing action that works for you and do it religiously. Prayer, meditation, singing, cooking and other activities that get you out of your head and into the moment are vital to helping you manage the stress of constant stimuli and energy demands. 

Reflect on what you are grateful for - and find 'what's perfect in this'...
