Δ Perception is reality . . . Concurrently, reality is chaos.
Δ Don't set your expectations too high; otherwise, you will end up hurt, disappointed, or jaded. Adjust that volume control on low and you will do fine.
Δ Throw out "Save for a rainy day." Instead, "Save as if a catastrophe is near" -or- if your life depended on it.
Δ Be cautious of what new people promise -or- say to you. It takes time to build trust, rapport, or a sense of devotion to build mutual beneficial relationships. Stick to your circle of long-term contacts, family, and friends. They are less likely to let you down.
Δ To de-stress, hangout at your favorite local mom-and-pop coffee shop such as Bardo's on South Broadway, Common Grounds in the Highlands, FLUID, -or- Gyspy House Cafe in Capitol Hill.
Δ Check out your neighborhood library, talk to a librarian, sign onto the Internet, and see what CDs and DVDs are in stock.
Δ Take a weekend "Hike in the Mountains" with a group of friends to rediscover the beauty and grandeur of one of the state or federal trails.
Δ Go to a day spa (whether it's a bath house, steam bath, or fitness center); soak in the whirlpool; and breath the cleansing fumes of a sauna. This is a great opportunity to medidate and escape from the world.
Δ Show your gratitude by writing a thank you note to someone who has made a difference in your life -or- to someone who went out of his/her way to help you.
Δ Minimize your text messaging and IMs; Maximize your face-to-face chats and telephone conversations to personalize human contact.
