How to Reduce Your Stress...

So I'm reading through the posts of my Reader. I just started following So You Want to Teach yesterday. I haven't really gotten the feel for it yet, but the first post I read made me laugh out loud although I am pretty sure that was not it's intention.

This portion especially:

...there are a couple of things that we can do to help lower the stress in our lives.

1. Find a source of stress and beat it into submission
   
2. Resolve to ignore the problem
   
   

I know, I know. This is supposed to be serious. And to be honest, it is good advice. You can't get accomplish much if you have unfinished projects floating around.

But do you know what popped into my head when I read #1? Little Sally* who sits in my second hour. She is the rudest human being I have ever come across. And she can't even be rude without cussing. And she is loud about it.

Beat it into submission...

And if that doesn't work, Resolve to ignore the problem...

I guess I can dream...

*Of course that's not her real name.
