stress levels.

I attended a stress seminar tonight. mostly against my will, but it actually really helped.

The nine steps of dealing with stress:
1. Acknowledge that you're stressed.
2. Stop what you're doing.
3. Calm down.
4. Think about your goal. "What do I want to happen in this situation?"
5. Ask "can I make that happen?"
6. List options for reaching said goal
7. Analyze options. Choose best one.
8. Take action.
9. Congratulate yourself.

That's sound advice. I won't remember it. But, at least I can say I--through a friend--quasi-attended a stress seminar and am now more prepared.
