July 2, 2009
This is such common advice you might think about ignoring it. But if your ignoring it are you keeping it simple?

Stress Free Living De-Stressology Tip – Plan Ahead
July 1, 2009
Plan ahead- there are certain things in life that just happen. They are annoying and frustrating but that’s just the way it is. This may include a traffic jam on your way to work or a long line at the post office. If you are prepared for these things, then you will be able to handle these annoying situations a lot better. Give yourself an extra 20 minutes to get to work to allow for the rush hour traffic. It’s a lot better for your self-improvement to be sitting in your car thinking “good thing I planned ahead and left 20 minutes early” rather than honking the horn and swearing for being late.
Stress free living is having an open, honest dialogue with myself helps me to communicate with others.

When you communicate effectively with others you’re able to be true to yourself.
Open honest dialogue allows you to have a deeper level of communication because you’re fully aware of your thoughts and feelings. You know what you want to say because you have thought it through and talked realistically and honestly with yourself first.
Respect and value your ability to communicate your inner thoughts effectively. You can do this when you practice what you say before you say it.
Coming to a full understanding of yourself allows you to think through any frustrations and realize how your words may affect others.
Vent frustrations, share excitement, and be prepared for conversations by first reflecting on your own needs. Often you’ll find that what you really want to say is very different from the way you first felt about the situation.
Be open and honest with yourself first, and you’ll be able to convey your feelings with others with confidence. You’ll find your relationships are stronger because you first had a conversation with you.
When you’re feeling frustrated prepare for communication by first talking with yourself. Choose to take the time to vent any frustrations and sift through unnecessary dialogue in your own conversation before you have it with others.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Have you thought through what you want to communicate?
2. Have you had the conversation with yourself first?
3. How did the conversation with yourself lead to a better communication experience?
