    Stress Reduction 100 Years Ago
    That we live in an extremely stressful environment is abundantly evident. However, stress is nothing new - it's been around since the begining of time. Robert Louis Stevenson made these suggestions over 100 years ago.

    * MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE HAPPY - learn to find pleasure in simple things.
    * MAKE THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow.
    * DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY.
    * DON'T LET CRITICISM WORRY YOU - you can't please everyone.
    * DON'T LET YOUR NEIGHBORS SET YOUR STANDARDS - be yourself.
    * DO THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING - but stay out of debt.
    * DON'T BORROW TROUBLE. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
    * SINCE HATE POISONS THE SOUL, don't cherish enemities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
    * HAVE MANY INTERESTS. If you can't travel, read about places.
    * DON'T HOLD POST - MORTEMS or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
    * DON'T BE THE ONE WHO NEVER GETS OVER THINGS.
    * KEEP BUSY AT SOMETHING. A very busy person never has the time to be unhappy. Times haven't changed - relax.
