Linda Stanley

I ran across this listing of fitness web sites (fax’d it to you). It came from a little magazine that my dentist sends me, Healthy, Wealthy & Wise. The list was put together by Marco Buscaglia.

Stress versus Distress

Cindi Haworth

I found an interesting article written by Mark Goulston at FastCompany.com. It talks about the good points of stress and how it crosses over to negative when it becomes distress. It discusses capacity to handle stress.

QuickWisdom on Stress

Linda Stanley

Bobb Biehl's latest QuickWisdom email is one that we would definitely like to pass along! He says:

As high as 85% of the stress we feel in life is caused by:

INDECISION
or
LACK OF CONTROL

When you are feeling stress
focus your attention on two very specific questions.

What three pressing decisions do I most need to make?
What three areas of my life feel most out of control?

Any decision you can make
or,
area you can get under control
will
bring an immediate reduction in your stress level.

Fatigued

Linda Stanley

This is a great quote and lesson from Bobb Biehl's website, Quick Wisdom:

Coach Vince Lombardi had a sign made up for the Green Bay Packers that read,

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all."

Fatigue also turns us introspective and negative.

Fatigue makes us question and doubt ourselves in areas in which we are very confident when rested.

Tasks that seem easy when we are rested seem almost impossible when we are fatigued.

Try to avoid making any major decision when you are feeling fatigued.

Fatigue can be emotional weariness as well as physical weariness.

Either way, before natural confidence returns, what is needed is deep rest.
