how I de-stress

I don't like Mondays, just like any normal working person would. But I've been trying to focus on the obvious - that work needs to get done right away. I should be thankful that my mind is put to good use.

I believe that the way we handle stress is on a to-each-his-own principle. Mine is simple. Maybe because I have been in a supervisory position and I deal with people and their problems everyday, at the end of the day, everything but work is a welcome relief. Here's how I keep things in perspective and in check:

• Although I listen to people, specially J, their problems are their own lookout. I crumple their little squabbles and angst then throw it out the window just like a piece of paper
• What needs to be done today is different from tomorrow's activities
• Clear clutter
• Sleep it off
• Reward self with a sweet
• Spa!

It really depends on a person on how he/she de-stress, but this is my own. And I love it.
