HOW TO REDUCE STRESS
it may seem that there’s nothing you can do about
stress. The bills won’t stop coming and your career and family
responsibilities will always be demanding.
But managing stress is all about taking charge: of your thoughts, emotions, schedule, and the way you deal with problems.
HOW TO BE CLASSY
Being classy is not about being stuck up. You need to cultivate
respect. And that means respect for everyone, including yourself. Take
care to be polite to others and to reflect a genuine interest in them.
Be confident in yourself, dress how you want and act accordingly. When
you are done reading this article, you should know how to be classy, as
well as selfless, generous, compassionate and responsible.
Class is all in how you come across, how you present and express yourself. If you have to tell people that you're classy, you've already defeated the purpose.

HOW TO ACT LIKE A LADY
1. Be well mannered. Manners are a necessity to being ladylike. Don't tell or listen to "dirty" jokes; if someone in your presence starts to tell one, politely excuse yourself and leave the situation. Read up on books that teach etiquette and always be nice to everyone, but at the same time, don't be a doormat. You have no responsibility for your heritage, so you should not be judged by that. However, you will, and should, be judged by your friends.
2. Choose your friends wisely. You do not want to be embarrassed by your friends, and you want friends who are on the same social and intellectual level as you are. Who you spend time with says a lot about who you are. If you are saddled with a friend who is not a person you like, talk to them with tact. Explain that, while they are a great person, you don't think that the two of you are similar enough to get on well. You could also say that you like the person but would like to be acquaintances, rather than friends.
3. Remember that actions speak louder than words. Always act appropriately. For example, pull your skirt under your legs when sitting down. Always sit with legs together or, if you must cross them, crossed only at the ankle and placed close to the seat, slightly to a side of you. Do not overindulge in food and avoid alcohol at a party or business function. Gluttony or drunkenness shows one's lack of self-control and can cause a loss of respect or potentially embarrassing moment in front of your peers. Burping or passing gas in the presence of others is bad etiquette as well.
4. Practice martyr-free modesty. In everything she does, a lady will acknowledge those who helped her before she takes any credit for herself. A lady will not flaunt herself, her valuables, or her accomplishments. A good reputation can surpass all of those things. Do not correct others unless they ask your advice. Do not act like you are better than anyone else. A lady is not self-absorbed. But be careful not to seem overly modest -do not be weak and submissive. You are too intelligent and classy for that.
5 Never lose your cool. Don't let people get under your skin, no matter how much they try. Keep your composure. Express your surprise or disappointment at someone's behavior in a gentle way to show that their actions have affected you and to show that you have feelings, or else people might think you're cold or heartless. Drug or alcohol use reduces self control. Avoid them!
