20 Little Ways to Stop and Smell the Roses: A Guide to Less Stress and More Joy Every Day!
Do you ever feel frustrated by the frantic pace of your life? Feel like you have more to do and not enough time? Ever wish you could make time stand still, even for a few minutes? I do. Did I hear you say "yes", too? This ebook focuses on the many little ways you can stop, refresh, and de-stress every day. You'll discover little ways that don't take much time but will pay you big dividends.
The key word here is 'stop'. Stop to recharge, replenish, and rejuvenate. Stop to de-stress. Stop
to become more energized and more productive. Stop to make time for yourself. I realized that those times that I tell myself 'but I have to do this...' are the very times that I need to 'stop and smell the roses'. So here are 20 little ways that you, too, can make time stand still for you!
I asked small business owners, web business owners, parents and others just how they do it. A warm 'thank you' to each of the contributors in this ebook. Their ideas and tips made writing this a joy. Here are their answers:
1. Take 5 Vacations A Day
Anything that removes you from the scene, even for 5 minutes, will rejuvenate and refresh you, leaving you more clearheaded, energetic and productive. Take 5 minutes several times a day to recharge and refresh.
When I feel a need for an energizer, I walk out to my garden patio and inhale everything in sight! The beauty of nature, the colors, the visual feast all combine to zap my senses to a new level.
Shelbra Brinkman, owner of Shelbra Brinkman & Associates, a
change management firm, also re-charges by connecting to nature.
"I tend to my potted plants outside, water them, pull off dead
blooms, smell them. Or I visit the basil, cilantro and chives growing
in my garden. I love to smell them too, eat a bite or two, water
them." And adds Shelbra, "Another thing I do is go to the roof
where I can see and hear the ocean...the waves mesmerize me
and it's a great place to just breathe deeply and relax."
Shelbra consults with Fortune 1000 companies on 'Making Change
Work', an outstanding change management program. She lives in Long
Beach, CA with her husband and two cats. Contact her at or call 562-439-3000.
Viki Nygaard, owner of Mount Evans Designs, is lucky enough to live and work at 9000 feet altitude in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. "I like to go outside on the deck, sit in the sun and feel the warmth of the sun shining on my face and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Doing this uplifts my spirits and revitalizes so that I feel ready to face the next series of challenges in my day", says Viki.
Viki is the exceptionally creative, talented, and thoughtful designer for http://www.PeoplePoems.com. When she isn't designing Web sites or in school learning more about Web site design, she loves to make various arts and crafts and most of all, spend time with her two sons. Contact her or learn more about her work at http://www.mountevansdesigns.com.
J oseph Petrashek of Starscapes International has discovered an automated way to 'take a vacation' on a regular basis. "I've started using a special computer
program called "It's Time!" that forces you to take time off at any interval
you like. Mine is set for every 60 minutes. It was designed for folks with
carpal tendencies to relax their hands every once in a while." Note: this
program is freeware available from http://www.edienske.homepage.com.

2. Stop The Clutter
One of my favorite breaks is to fill an empty box I keep near the door, in a closet, with things I really don't want or need anymore. Just 5 minutes of going through your house will yield clutter that someone else will treasure. When the box is full, I take it to a donation store when I'm out on other errands. An easy way to let go of that clutter!
Getting things out of your mind and on paper can help stop 'mental clutter'. Karon Thackston, president of KT & Associates says, "Often when I'm feeling stressed it's because my mental 'to do' list seems to have gotten out of hand. If I stop for just 10 minutes and jot down a physical 'to
do' list, things seem to fall into perspective. Once I see my agenda on paper, I'm almost always relieved to find I don't have as much to do as I thought. Organization de-stresses me because it allows me to get a handle on my sometimes out-of-control work schedule. It also allows me the comfort of knowing I won't forget to do anything because I have it down on paper."
