When faced with stressful or time-pressured situations:

1. I use effective time-management methods such as keeping track of my time, making to-do lists, and prioritizing tasks.

2. I reaffirm my priorities so that less important things don’t drive out more important things.

3. I maintain a program of regular exercise for fitness.

4. I maintain an open, trusting relationship with someone with whom I can share my frustrations.

5. I know and practice several temporary relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and muscle relaxation.

6. I maintain balance in my life by pursuing a variety of interests outside work.
