Today's Tip: If you haven't already seen my friend, Susan Wrona's discussion on How to Change Bad Habits, you should definitely take a look this week. Several of her exercises can help you reduce stress. Like this one:

Schedule the Worrying: Worry easily fills up your mental space, creates anxiety, and consumes your energy and attention. Schedule a time to worry--say at 2:30 pm daily for one-half hour. When a worrisome thought arises at other times of the day, remind yourself you're making time for that at 2:30 and will give the worry your full attention at that time. Then get on with the task at hand.

Today, write down the following:

* Everything you ate (including liquids).

* Your daily demon: What's causing you the most stress?
