WEDNESDAY WAYSDOM: Nature, The Stress Reliever
Top six stress management strategies for the office, home, and life:
1. Avoid unnecessary stress.
This means reject fruitless assignments, negative people, topics, and the war-torn evening news (yes, even the sweet Katie Couric).
2. Alter the situation.
If you must deal with the event, change the way you see it. Assert yourself, and learn how to manage your time.
3. Adapt to the stressor.
Kill the perfectionism tendency. Think long-term before you act. Focus on the positive. Reframe the way you see the situation.
4. Accept what you can't change.
To everything, there is a season. In this case, you may need to learn something new to prevent this stress in the future. Rally your support network, e.g., your "bff" (not your frenemy) and/or therapist.
5. Make time for fun and relaxation.
During the workday, take your fifteen minute breaks -- and lunch. See nature and the sun without the cancer stick. At home, pamper yourself in a long bath surrounded by candles and soothing music.
6. Adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Get enough sleep. Eat real food. Take vitamins and supplements. Exercise for your level of fitness. Stand or die.

WOMEN'S HEALTH WEEK: 4 Pillars of Stress Reduction at Work
When you have an employee like Dwight Shrute, you are bound to develop an ulcer as a coworker or manager. The Harvard Business Review discovered that people have more of the stress hormone, cortisol, in their saliva, on Monday morning than Sunday morning. So, this post is dedicated to everyone who has the workday morning blues by focusing on Emotional Intelligence.
"Emotional intelligence in the workplace has four major components:
Self-awareness –The ability to recognize your emotions and their impact while using gut feelings to guide your decisions.
Self-management –The ability to control your emotions and behavior and adapt to changing circumstances.
Social awareness –The ability to sense, understand, and react to other's emotions and feel comfortable socially.
Relationship management –The ability to inspire, influence, and connect to others and manage conflict."

You do not have a glam squad on the payroll.
Unless you have a personal chef, fitness trainer, photo doctor, lighting engineer, and plastic surgeon on your staff, do not compare yourself to anyone in a magazine.
Revelation: They wish they looked like that magazine cover. So, strive to have the ability to hire a glam squad or buy photo editing software, whichever comes first.
