5 Ways to Relax in 5 Minutes
It's so easy to get swept up in the stress of our day-to-day lives.
If you're running on empty, here are five ways to replenish...
1. Have a cup of tea...or coffee or juice...whatever you are into. Make it a relaxing ritual.
2. Sing along to your "theme" song...whatever it is. Can't help but lift your spirits
3. Breathe...take a long slow breath in, relaxing your belly and completely filling up your lungs.
Hold and slowly exhale. Repeat several times.
4. Write it down...sometimes the best thing you can do is to take a pen and paper and put your
worries and stresses in writing. This empties the clutter in your brain.
5. Stretch...Stand up fold at the waist and hang your head & arms loose towards the floor.
Let gravity do the work. Then, stand up straight, clasp your hands behind
your back and stretch your shoulders and upper back.
Gently stretch your neck with slow easy circles.
It's amazing what these simple things can get us through.
Now...5 ways to change your perspective.
Changing your perspective is often a matter of just looking
at your life from a different angle.
1. Go outside...talk a walk, breath in the fresh air
2. Take a yoga class...it's a powerful thing
3. Remember what's bigger than you...fill yourself with wonder
4. Help someone else...always
5. Read something inspirational
The Worst First-Time Home buyer Mistakes
1. Not knowing what you can afford
(make a budget including monthly expenses)
2. Skipping mortgage qualification
(what you think you can afford and what the bank will
lend you are not always the same.)
3. Failing to consider additional expenses
(taxes, insurance, repairs)
4. Being too picky
(don't be inflexible, you may have to compromise)
5. Being swept away
(watch for minor cosmetic fixes)
6. Neglecting to Inspect
(Don't get stuck with a money pit)
7. Not choosing to hire an agent or using the seller's agent
