The Ryde Divine

Me:

1. Try and develop a calm morning ritual instead of starting the day off in a stressful rush.

2. Notice how you tend to automatically respond to a stressful or irritating person or event.

3. Decide to not take things personally; be the kind of person who it’s hard to offend.

4. Develop an attitude of gratitude – and decide to be thankful for the little things in life.

5. Develop healthy ways of coping with stress (as stress is an inevitable part of life.)

6. Single task instead of multitasking (as it leads to fewer mistakes in the end.)

1. Acknowledge how you feel, and accept that this is going to be a more challenging day.

2. Commit to doing the absolute essentials but don’t push yourself to do everything.

3. Prioritize what’s important. For example, if you have a report that has to be submitted, then decide to work on that. However, if it is something that can wait, set it aside for now.

4. Work through your to-do list in small chunks of time – making sure you get plenty of breaks.

5. Tell someone who will understand. We need to get support when we’re feeling low.

6. Be wise in your use of social media. It may be good to deactivate a few accounts for now, or to switch off your phone to protect yourself from images and comments that leave you feeling worse.

7. Make sure you leave the house and get a change of scenery.

He was mid twenties when the American independence war began. He fought under George Washington at the crossing of the delaware.

He was nearly 50 when pride and prejudice was written, and in his 60s when it was first published.

In his 70s the world's oldest photograph was taken, Beethoven performed his most famous piece in Vienna, and the venus de milo was uncovered

In his 90s the first postage stamp was issued and the first ever telegraph was sent
