Stress Relieving Tip by Real Simple Magazine

The October issue of Real Simple Magazine had an article about dealing with stress. They wrote out a 14 day stress relieving plan that made a lot of sense. The one that stuck out to me was the Tuesday of the second week. It said, "Turn off the TV." Real simple continues, "Constant bombardment by news can make you feel anxious when you're already keyed up, and a blaring TV hits you with both visual and aural stimulation." (p. 166, October 2008, Real Simple). Watching or listening to too much news and TV during the elections and the way our economy currently is can create a lot of stress and anxiety. It also causes you not to want to spend money or do the proper home maintenance items or put up Christmas decorations!

My suggestion is to turn off the TV for a little while and do something fun! Go read a book! Play a round of golf! Call up an old friend! And don't forget to call Christmas Decor by Hallco to talk about a few holiday lighting options for your home. Bringing color and the Christmas spirit to your life is sure to make you feel a lot better during these rough times!
