"In
studying happiness in the field of Psychology, one topic of discussion
is the amount of pressure that people place on themselves. Take time at
the end of each day to reflect on the positive things that you did. You
may have something on your mind that you feel badly about, but have forgotten
the numerous other positive things that you did that day. Don't be too
hard on yourself."

"Sometimes your computer may not be working properly; applications keep crashing, or the screen just freezes. You know it's time to restart your computer. If you're feeling overwhelmed, why not take a moment and then 'restart' your day. Doesn't always work - you may have to restart it a few times. But at least you can try. "

"Time is like energy is like gas. If you find you're spending too much time thinking about some annoying thing, you're probably spending too much energy on it. It's like having enough gas to get you to a destination. You know where you need to go, but if you're using half of your fuel on this one problematic area, you're probably not going to have enough for yourself to reach your destination. Best bet is to re-fuel at the next station (refocus your energies) and just drive!"

"Sometimes just talking to someone can make a difference. Talking with friends is like therapy for poor people. Try it, you may like it."

"Whether you're a brother, or whether you're a mother, walking with a straight posture can make you feel better; it opens up the chest area for better breathing and it's good for your back. It also makes you look more confident and open, which may increase positive reactions from people around you."
—Linda, New York, NY
"Even though the sign may say, 'More than you can eat,' you know that it's humanly impossible to eat more than you can eat. You can only eat the amount that you can eat. Right? Likewise, just know that you can only do what you can do. You can't physically do more than you can do. So when you feel suddenly overwhelmed, just remember that you can leave some food on your plate and maybe save it for left-overs. Or, try not putting too much food on your plate to begin with, that way, with better time management and prioritizing, you know that you can finish the 'food' that's on your plate... and maybe even have 'room' (or time) for some 'dessert' or some fun thing you'd like to do. Sweet."
—Linda, New York, NY
"Remember to drink plenty of water and moisturize. Your skin will be thankful and feel happy."

—Linda, New York, NY

—Linda, New York, NY
"Looking for less stress? You may have more time to relax in the end, if you get everything done as quickly as possible. Also, you'll have fewer worries on your mind and more mental-space to chill out since you've already tackled those worrisome issues."
