The panic button -- stress part 2


Down here at the L-E, we've just received word we may be printing today/tonight in Macon, our sister paper to the east. (Update: It's LaGrange.) If so, you may be getting your paper about three hours ahead of time. Or not. People are scrambling around here more than usual. So I said to myself, "Self, let's find a helpful article on stress." Here's a tidbit, from stress.com:
"Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. There are some stresses like the loss of a loved one that you can't hope to avoid and others that you can prevent or influence. The trick is in learning how to distinguish between the two so that you're not constantly frustrated like Don Quixote tilting at windmill and devote your time and talent to areas where you can make a difference. Try to follow the advice in Reinhold Niebuhr's, serenity prayer, "Grant me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I can't change, and the wisdom to know the difference."
About the photo: It's not about "hear no evil/see no evil." It's from a yoga class--a great stress-reliever.
