5 Ways to Handle Stress

5 Ways to Handle Stress

Remember Things Usually Work Out In the End
If you cannot do anything about it do not stress it. Psalms 55:22 says Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

In other words PUSH which means pray until something happens.
Things may not go exactly as you planned but keep a positive attitude, a can do attitude and you will prevail!

Do the Hardest Thing on Your List First
If you have several troublesome things on your mind tackle the toughest one first. You will be tempted to do the easy things first but this will just extend and intensify the stress you are already feeling. Go ahead: Fry the Big Fish First. You will be glad you did.

Be Honest & Take Responsibility When Something is Your Fault
Stress and work is a huge problem for many people. So much to do so little time. So much on your mind. It’s difficult to tell your boss: I forgot to do that or I did not mail that check out yet. But you will avoid future stress by telling the truth now. Admit, I made a mistake. I’m Sorry! The truth will always set you free.

Exercise
When everything is going wrong or you are having a bad day, try to squeeze in a workout. Going for a jog, walk, swim, or bike ride are all excellent ways to make you feel better. Exercise is an excellent stress reliever.

Talk It Out
Sometimes the best medicine to relieve stress is to just talk about it. Talk to your spouse or Invite a friend for coffee. You could both vent to each other.

I hope this helps you feel better in some way today.
Until Next Time,

Your Home Provides Comfort & Shelter

"Your home consists of two primary systems that work together to provide comfort and shelter. Your home's heating and cooling system maintains comfortable indoor temperatures. Your home's envelope helps hold in comfortable indoor temperatures and provides shelter from exterior elements. The home envelope is the combination of materials that surround the interior space you live in including walls, floors, ceiling, roof, windows, and doors. The quality and integrity of your home's envelope greatly affects the comfort and cost to operate your home.

How can improving my home's envelope save money and energy?
The average family spends $1,900 a year on energy bills, nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. These costs can be reduced by up to 20% by combining the right amount and type of insulation, using effective air sealing techniques, and installing windows that are appropriate for your climate.
What are the benefits of an energy efficient envelope?
Reduced drafts and even room temperatures (no cold or hot rooms).
Reduced noise transmission into your home.
Savings on heating and cooling bills.
Moisture control in your home leading to longer life of your home's building materials and reduced incidence of mold and mildew."
