Dont Sweat The Small Stuff : Richard Carlson

July 11th 2009 09:00
Don't Sweat The Small Stuff by Richard Carlson was a best seller for years. For many of us we often allow ourselves to get all worked up about things that, upon closer examination, aren't really that big a deal..."

Dont Sweat The Small Stuff by Richard Carlson


This handy pocket size book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff-- and It's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life is filled with wisdom, doesn't have to be read from cover to cover.

It's the perfect companion you can just pick it up when you feel the need after having a rough day when you're looking for words of wisdom to help put things in perspective and you can easily read a random chapter or two.

The pupose of the book..Dont Sweat The Small Stuff... is to get you to look at things, common situations we all come across everyday and see them a little differently.

What others are saying about it....

That's because the wisdom is definitely there, on every page, and it just plain makes sense. Many times I've read a chapter or two and thought, "Why didn't I think of that before?".

Here's just a sample of these useful strategies

"Choose Your Battles Wisely": In this section he advises us not to make a big deal out of things or persons with which we are at cross purposes. Most confrontations are both an unnecessary waste of time and damaging to relationships, usually over meaningless issues. Just let them go, he advises.

"See The Innocence": Here he tells us that when we are frustrated or irritated by something that someone says or does, we should look for the innocence behind the behavior. If we do, we'll probably find out that the we, ourselves, are the cause of our upset.

"Choose Being Kind Over Being Right": Here he suggests that, in most cases, who is right and who is wrong just isn't important. There's no need to always be right, so just ignore the opportunity to correct people.

"Become A Less Aggressive Driver": The benefits of this suggestion are practically self-explanatory, so I'll let you guess at them until you read the book.

Remember...Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...Life's Too Short.

How To Relax Sunrise Meditation For Stress Relief


Start by trying this simple meditation that puts calm into your life.....

Sit in a way that feels comfortable...either on a chair, or sitting cross-legged on the floor with your hands are resting in your lap.

If sitting on a chair, check that your knees are above your ankles, and your pelvis is well into the back of the chair. If sitting cross-legged, check that you knees are resting down towards the floor. If you want to sit on the floor but find it too tiring for your back, try sitting against a wall.

Begin by gently closing your eyes. Feel the support of the earth beneath you as you sit. Allow the weight of the body to be fully supported by mother earth.

Let go of tension in the body as you continue to rest your weight into the earth, and check that you are still sitting in a way that feels alert and awake. Feel the body come up from the earth towards father sky - the great, wide sky.

Now turn your awareness to the breath - the in-breath and the out-breath. Feel the journey of each breath. Follow the in-breath from its beginning to its end. The death of the in-breath becomes the birth of the out-breath. Follow the out-breath's journey from its birth to the end of the out-breath.

And then an in-breath is born form the death of the out-breath. To help the mind anchor onto the breath, name the in-breath silently as IN and the out-breath as OUT. Keep doing this for as long as feels right.

Now, while still keeping your awareness on the breath, and naming each breath as IN and OUT, bring your awareness to a point a couple of fingers' width below the navel. Feel this point expand and contract with each breath. Keep doing this for as long as feels right.

Now, while still naming the in-breath as IN and the out-breath as OUT, still with awareness at the point below the navel, become aware of the whole of your body, as you sit and breathe.

Sense your body as you sit. All that exists right now is your awareness of your breath, and awareness of your body. As you do this, you may start to feel pleasure in simply sitting and breathing. You have nothing else to do right now, other than sit and breathe, keeping your awareness in your breath and body. In acknowledgement of the feeling of calm and peace that this can bring, allow a suggestion of a smile to come to your lips.

Enjoy the simplicity of this moment. There is nowhere to go, and nothing to do. Just be with the breath and the body. Keep doing this for as long as feels right.

on Beating Stress The Natural Way

Drinking water definitely helps remove the toxins in our bodies.

Paul Wilson who wrote the "Little Book of Calm" made this suggestion in his book...

Sip Warm Water....A glass of chilled water will calm you more than most other liquids.

A cup of warm water will calm you even more.

Sounds like a great idea I'll have to start trying during stressful times.

on 8 EASY STRESS BUSTERS

It's so true about we often blow small things right out of proportion giving ourselves a bigger headache and extra stress than needed.

Richard Carlson wrote a best seller called "Dont Sweat The Small Stuff" Often we allow ourselves to get all worked up about things that, upon closer examination, aren't really that big a deal..We focus on little problems and concerns and blow them way out of proportion.

I'm sure we have a copy of this book at work which I will take the time to read.
