A Sure Cure for Stress


When you're pooped, uptight and frazzled
and your plagued by anxiousness,
there's a simple diagnosis.
You are suffering from stress.
sad
You are taxed by unmet deadlines.
You are driven by demands.
You're a mess of frayed emotions
like some stretch-out rubber bands.
Busy
It's a low-grade chronic sickness
that will leave you nearly dead,
if you don't address the symptoms.
First of all, go straight to bed.
Sleep
When you wake up, eat your breakfast.
Spend some time with God in prayer.
Let the Lord review your date book.
Offer up your angst and cares.
Pray
Take a walk or jog three miles.
Don't neglect your exercise.
Watch your diet. Drink much water.
Boycott burgers, Cokes and fries.
exercise
Make the most of meals with family.
Share your feelings. Make amends.
View each day as priceless treasure.
Count your blessings. Laugh with friends.
eat
Learn the art of saying "Sorry!
While I'd love to I just can't."
Try to just say no more often.
Let it be your freedom chant.
laugh
Guard your day-off like a soldier
wearing sneakers, jeans and cap.
Let yourself enjoy a hobby.
Every Sunday take a nap.
happy
Even though it's not a cancer,
stress can kill you just the same.
So determine you will fight it.
Make a stress-free life your aim.
happy
