Welcome to the Get It Done guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

The end of the year can be a stressful time.

We're expected to spend lots of times with relatives, and we haven't trained them well,

so they happily share their entire lives with us.

You'll love sharing a room with Little Timmy.

He can perform the entire Star Wars trilogy in song.

Yeah, right, I'm already saving up to send Little Timmy to theater camp, far, far away.

My friend Europa is frantic around New Year's.

Not only does she have family concerns to deal with,

but her business empire spans the globe. She has all kinds of end-of-year preparations to make.

She has money to shift into offshore accounts, balance sheets to adjust and plans for next year.

She was so stressed that she actually showed up at the office with wrinkles in her power suit and a cracked heel in her new pair of Jimmy Chews.

Bernice, on the other hand, is pretty much unflappable.

She's got a rock-solid presence, which makes her formidable and a source of strength.

Europa vanished into Bernice's office and came out a few minutes later, calm,

put together, and cool as a cucumber. Here are the five stress relief tips Bernice had for

Europa. Tip one, where is your stress? Stress happens in your body. Bernice meditates daily

so she has a keen self-awareness. Next time you're stressed,

pay attention to your body. Where do you feel your stress? For me, it's a tingling down my midline

and a tightness in my chest. My breath becomes shallow and fast, and I clench my jaw. All it would

take is a couple of bolts and I'd look like Frankenstein's monster. Before you can do anything about your stress, you have to find out where it's located.
