Women seem to be hormonally driven to be carers. We have a man in our lives and we start thinking for two. When we have a child and we not only grow another heart but we have to think for another soul , and on it goes. Somewhere in the mix we have forgotten that to look after others …or to think for others we must prioritize ourselves. Women have a problem placing themselves in the number one position in their lives. They put themselves way down on a list of priorities. <br/>So number ten for me would be …be kind to yourself. Find some quiet time each day to tune into your body, relax and allow stress to dissolve. Using the tools of meditation, yoga and chi gung as I do…or dancing, art, music…choose something that takes you out of your thinking mind and to you senses! This is a rest from the thinking mind. It takes you back to a more neutral place and the body and the spirit will learn to follow. Putting yourself first is a gift to your daughters as it allows them the same – and a gift to anyone you care about because the greatest gift you can give the world is to be happy.<br/><br/>Yours Fiona Edelstein <br/><br/>p.s love your words of wisdom Craig.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your insight. You obviusly have a world of knowledge. My tip for number ten is to get active (this always works for me). So whether it is skipping, running, weight training, dancing. Do anything to get your body active and your over active mind less active....I hope this helps. Have a fantastic, stress free day. Thanks again Craig. :) Hi Craig,

"See" yourself where you want to be in the future, like 1 or 2 years for now. You can pack that into short controlled day dreams. And make a photo with Photoshop showing yourself in your dream house, dream car, in the position you want to be, etc. Put it where you can see it all time.<br/><br/>This will help you getting your thoughts back on a higher level and free you from being trapped in the world of details. Most of the time you'll be able to proceed with simple steps rather than complicated ones.<br/><br/><a HREF="http://blog.fcon21.biz/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="ebizboosterblog">John W.
