NO Stress
Stress = 3 possibilities
• Self-induced
• Keep it away from me
• Listen to what I say, do what I tell you to do,
and stress will go away

I only do things I like
And the things I don’t like but have to do,
I make fun…
Like doing the dishes.
Put on some music!

Look around you
Every season has it’s beauty.
Every thing has it’s beauty.
Every person has it’s beauty.
Take that beauty and use it to make you happy

Do what makes you happy
Yoga? Karate? Sauna?
Gaming? Watching movies?
Eating chips?
Drinking a beer with mates?
Or on your own?

Make choices,
And live by them.
Don’t look back
11. #7
What happened,
Happened.
Don’t try to chance the past.
Take your responsibility
12. #8
Stand up for what you believe in.
But be open to other opinions,
And learn from those opinions…

Get rid of energy-predators
Feeling tired after a long talk with a “friend”?
Fed up with another gossip about you, your boy/girlfriend?
Maybe you need to cut some people out of your life.

Surround yourself with positive people
Positive+positive=double positive.
You give AND receive energy
