An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future.  If you worry about what may
 happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain.  Even  
 if it does happen, you have to worry twice."                              
                                                                           
 1. Pray                                                                   
                                                                           
 2. Go to bed on time.                                                     
                                                                           
 3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.                      
                                                                           
 4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will
 compromise your mental  health.                                           
                                                                           
 5. Delegate tasks to capable others.                                      
                                                                           
 6. Simplify and unclutter your life.                                      
                                                                           
 7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough,  two are often too    
 many.)                                                                    
                                                                           
 8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.                    
                                                                           
 9. Pace yourself.  Spread out big changes and difficult  projects over    
 time; don't lump the hard things all together.                            
                                                                           
 10. Take one day at a time.                                               
                                                                           
 11. Separate worries from concerns.  If a situation is a concern, find out
 what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety.  If you can't do    
 anything about a situation, forget it.                                    
                                                                           
 12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary          
 purchases.                                                                
                                                                           
 13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key     
 buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.                                  
                                                                           
 14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).  This single piece of advice can prevent an 
 enormous amount of trouble.                                               
                                                                           
 15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.                             
                                                                           
 16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.                 
                                                                           
 17. Get enough rest.                                                      
                                                                           
 18. Eat right.                                                            
                                                                           
 19. Get organized so everything has its place.                            
                                                                           
 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of  
 life.                                                                     
                                                                           
 21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.                                 
                                                                           
 22. Every day, find time to be alone.                                     
                                                                           
 23. Having problems?  Talk to God on the spot.  Try to nip small problems 
 in the bud.  Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.     
                                                                           
 24. Make friends with Godly people.                                       
                                                                           
 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.                         
                                                                           
 26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a 
 good "Thank you Jesus".                                                                                
                                                                            
 27. Laugh.                                                                
                                                                           
 28. Laugh some more!                                                      
                                                                           
 29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.                    
                                                                           
 30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they     
 can).                                                                     
                                                                           
 31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).             
                                                                            
 32. Sit on your ego.                                                      
                                                                           
 33. Talk less; listen more.                                               
                                                                           
 34. Slow down.                                                            
                                                                           
 35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.  
                                                                           
 36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that  
 you've never been grateful for before.  GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS   
 AROUND FOR YOU.  "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)
