Dealing with stress

Things to do to rid you of Monday morning stress: 1) As soon as you get to work, write a to-do list. I find that this helps when you've got a gazillion things to do. Feels so good when you've got a lot scratched off the list after you're done with them. 2) Take a mid morning break. I've always felt that taking breaks is healthy. If you can't spare 10-15 minutes, make yourself a cup of Lipton Milk Tea (shameless plugging!). But it's seriously good. And healthy. 3) Listen to happy music before going to work. My current pre-work tunes include Madonna's Jump and Dance 2night, U2's Beautiful Day and Vertigo, and Duncan Sheik's On A High 4) Tell everyone to simply bugger off. 5) Chomp on a bar of Snickers. Or two. or three, depending on how much stress you're under. 5) Look at this picture of Maggie when you're about to explode.
