It has been said...
'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time
schedule or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and un-clutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are
often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult
projects over time; don't lump the hard things all
together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a
concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of
the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a
situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for
ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra
house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice
can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve
your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip
small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's
time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and
hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus.’
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the
best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the
most).
32. Sit on your ego
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of
the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're
grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
37. Remember 'If God is for us, who can be against us?'
(Romans 8:31)

I DON'T THINK YOUR HEADER IS TOO BIG. I LOVE IT. HOWEVER, TRY PUTTING A CHECK IN THE BOX THAT SAYS IT WILL SIZE IT DOWN AFTER YOU'VE STARTED THE PROCESS OF IT GETTING ON YOUR COMPUTER. YOU KNOW, WHEN IT IS CIRCLING OVER AND OVER.
I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY, OR IF IT REALLY WORKS. JUST SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WORKS FOR ME. I COULD BE ALL WRONG AND MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS MORE OF WHAT THEIR TALKING ABOUT. SORRY I FORGOT.
HUGS FROM MAINE TO YA!
