MCDA Given my present life circumstances and my values, it is most important that I spend my time….

MCDA The P.L.A.Y. Response Prioritize Live

MCDA What choices do I need to make that I can live with? To what things will I say no? To what things will I say yes? Ask yourself:

MCDA The P.L.A.Y. Response Prioritize Live Accept

MCDA Accept that It may not be perfect right now, (but this won’t last forever) 2. Stress comes from the way we perceive the world, not from the way the world really is. 3. Every reaction I have is a choice 4. Change requires commitment 5. Not everybody may agree with my choices

MCDA The P.L.A.Y. Response Prioritize Live Accept You

MCDA Ideas for YOU to Regain Balance and Reduce Stress 1. Breathe – slowly, deeply 2. Five minutes intentional alone time in morning 3. Choose to eat well 4. Indulge in a guilty pleasure once a week 5. Get some kind of regular physical exercise 6. Find the humor in the situation 7. Let go of perfectionism 8. Seek support / take advantage of resources 9. Be 100% present in the moment 10. Appreciate the mini-miracles

MCDA One P.L.A.Y. response I will choose to regain my balance: This week: Within a month: Within six months:

MCDA The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise person. ~ Euripides
