4. Plan a vacation or, better yet, go on one!
5. Schedule an appointment with a counselor.
6. Talk to a good friend who knows how to listen.
7. Have a good cry. It’s okay. It will cleanse your emotional system.

9. Turn off the TV and the radio.
10. Read the Psalms.
11. Do volunteer work with a local charity.
12. Organize your desk and/or your office.
13. Take one “baby step action” for each of your top three projects.
14. Take the afternoon off and take a nap.

16. Change positions. If you are sitting, stand. If you are standing, sit.
17. Pray. Pour out your heart to God.
18. Smile. Your emotions will usually follow your body’s lead.
19. Do that one thing you fear the most.
20. Write a love note to your spouse and mail it.
