Know your limit

Reality Check. Whether you're causing yourself unnecessary stress, either through unrealistic expectations or feeling like everything is out of your control.


Things You Can't Control:
  • the age
  • the way you were raised
  • whether the stoplight turns red or green
  • how fast other cars are driving
  • the number of hours in a day
  • other people
  • you age
  • death
  • illness
  • accidents in the family
  • the calender
  • a job layoff

Things You Can Control:
  • your reaction to others
  • your to-do-list
  • how your days is spent
  • your goals
  • your self-esteem and self-worth
  • how you treat others
  • your exercise
  • your eating habits
  • the communication of your needs to others
  • telling people when you're stressed outand need time alone
