Stress Reduction, part 2

5. Dont try to be something you are not.

• Be who you are (Within reason). We all have areas of our life that need to be changed in order to be more like Jesus, but Jesus has made each of us unique. He did that for a reason. You will only frustrate yourself be always wishing you could be someone else. Chances are, they are wishing they could be like you.

6. Learn from criticism without personalizing it.

7. Share the load and ask for help.

• Surround yourself with people who are gifted in areas that you are not.

8. Have a safe, perspective-giving peer group.

• Do you have people that love you enough to tell you the truth, to keep you in perspective?
