Here is a checklist to help you eliminate some stress you may not even realize you have. The goal is to check or tick off ALL the boxes so you’ll be virtually stress-free!
– If my job, business or profession is harming me and I can’t seem to make it completely stress-free, I have quit, sold it, or am changing professions.
– I have made a list of the promises that I have made to others that are causing me stress, even if it’s stress that I can handle.
– I have revoked all of these promises and have worked something else out.
– I have identified the three primary sources (people, roles, other’s expectations) of my current stress. (See last week’s assignment).
– I have completely eliminated these three items.
– I have cut out most volunteer activities, unless they directly support my life and give me joy.
– I have a regular house cleaner or house keeper.
– Someone else runs my errands.
– All bills, paperwork, and administrative tasks have been outsourced and are electronically handled and/or I have an assistant who handles everything administratively, automatically.
– Any legal, tax or financial clouds or problems have been completely resolved.
You may not be able to complete all this in one week. Handle what you comfortably can this week and then book into your schedule when you’ll be handling the rest. Or better yet, hire that virtual admin assistant and delegate the list to him or her to handle for you. After all, it is hard to enjoy your ideal life if you are stressed in any way.
Enjoy!
