    "Not my circus. Not my monkeys." It always makes me smile more than 'Worry only about what you can control" because then I see monkeys in my head!

    "Do unto others what THEY would like done." This one helped me realize that not everyone wants what I would want. It is important to find out what other people need and want and not get hung up on thinking everyone wants what I would want.

    I always say "God Hates a Coward." when I am preparing myself to do anything stressful and for me it calms me and prepares me. I know it isn't the phrase that does it, but for me mentally I have to do this. The funniest part is, I am an atheist.

    When faced with a big financial problem or a just a lot of stress my husband and I will tell the other “You can’t fix it tonight.” It’s just our way of knowing no matter the issue is sometimes you need to take the time to just relax and unwind and not miss out on quality time together

    Whenever I was under stress, my sister would say "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things." I also got stuck on my mom's phrase of "Off like a dirty shirt" or "Off like a herd of turtles."

    Sleep when the baby sleeps...
    True, you shouldn't be bussy with your household while you can rest. Take the baby in a baby wrap to vacuum or put them in a cushion close to you when you do the laundry. When the baby sleeps, you sleep too!!
