How to De-Stress After Work

Regardless of your occupation, there is a certain amount of stress related with your job. Alison Johnson, through the Daily Press, distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services, gives some good advice on how to handle that stress.

Carrying anxiety home from the office raises the risk of numerous health problems, including high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, headaches, depression and insomnia. The following are tips from psychologists:

Listen to music in your car. Favorite tunes will help you relax as you transition from office to home. When you get home, don't just flop on the couch. Exercise, spend time outside and interact with family and friends to boost production of feel-good hormones. Or if you can, relax by reading, taking a hot shower or engaging in a favorite hobby.

Don't bring work home! sometimes it is unavoidable, but the more your home is a separate sanctuary, the easier time you'll have relaxing there.

Communicate. If you've had an especially tough day, share that with your spouse and children.

Set boundaries. For example, you might tell your boss that you turn your cell phone and computer off after a certain time each night (if you can).

Don't rely on substances. Too much alcohol actually increases anxiety levels and puts you at risk for dependence - while the nicotine in cigarettes is a powerful stimulant.

Eat if you are hungry. Low blood sugar causes anxiety and irritability. But stick to nutritious foods, because bingeing on unhealthy treats will only make you lethargic.

Realize your limits. If there's nothing you can do about a work problem at home, tell yourself that fretting is a waste of time.

Take time off. Use your vacation days, take mini-breaks during the day, delegate responsibility and learn to say no if you're swamped. None of that is easy, but otherwise your work and health will suffer.

I know that I am going to try to implement some of these things in my life. Stress is a killer! We all have it and we need to learn how to deal with it. If you have any information on dealing with stress please share it.

5 Pitfalls of the Overpriced House

1. It is human nature…we are comparison shoppers. Buyers will compare homes and recognize overpricing immediately and this can create some very slow response times to any advertising that is being done for the property.


2. Attracting the wrong crowd….Some potential buyers may be initially attracted because they are looking for a home that is the same price as yours…..with MORE features.

3. Just bring me an offer, you say! Home buyers will usually hesitate on making an offer on an “overpriced” home because, they know that even if you accept their lower offer they are not getting a bargain considering the final sales price is no less than the “fair market value”.

4. Bad example…Buyers that have seen your home and compared it to the others in the area will use your home to make favorable decisions on other homes that are priced fairly.

5. Got a buyer? So maybe you and your realtor can find a buyer who is willing to pay the price. If that buyer is planning on getting a mortgage the whole deal could fall apart due to a low appraisal. A low appraisal indicates the home does not meet the value of the price being offered and you could be renegotiating or starting completely over.





Simply put, overpricing your home=extra time and money on your part, not the buyers. To avoid all of these pricing pitfalls, work with an experienced Realtor in your area. Rely on their research and advice, and together you will be able to price your home just right.
