A Dozen Things to Say When You are Stressed

A Baker’s Dozen

When I feel the fangs of stress nipping at my neck, I rarely know what to say.  The Live, Fun, Uni blog has an extensive list of suggestions.  Here is my favorite baker’s dozen.  Check out the full list and see which ones will work for you.

1. “Don’t bother me, I’m living happily ever after.”

2. “This isn’t an office. It’s HELL with fluorescent lighting”

3. “I started out with nothing still have most of it left”

4. “I pretend to work, they pretend to pay me”

5. “Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble plastic is cheap. You choose”

6. “Practice random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control”

7. “I’m not crazy. I’ve been in a very bad mood for 30 years.”

8. “Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven’t gone to sleep yet”

9. “I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?”

10. “I work 45 hours a week to be this poor.”

11. “Chaos, panic and disorder . . . my work here is done.”

12. “Ambivalent? Well yes and no.”

13. “I’m not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.”
