revmusings

These two weeks post announcement have been strange, not least because I happen to be only doing one service in the next two weeks (link missionaries followed by Church Anniversary) and then I am on holiday. I have some visiting to do and some forward planning for Advent and Christmas and two day conferences but generally the pace has slowed. (I hope to start clearing and shredding in the spare time)

But as a result I do not feel stressed but I know it will come as I move towards Christmas and moving so finding these Ten commandmentson another blog- see here was excellent - I plan to print them out and put them up in  my study:

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR REDUCING STRESS

1. Thou shalt not be perfect, or even try.

2. Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people.

3. Thou shalt leave undone things that ought to be

done.

4. Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin.

5. Thou shalt learn to say No.

6. Thou shalt schedule time for thyself and for thy

support network.

7. Thou shalt switch off and do nothing regularly.

8. Thou shalt be boring, inelegant, untidy and

unattractive at times.

9. Thou shalt not feel guilty.

10. Thou shalt very definitely not be thine own worst

enemy, but thine own best friend.
