Lower Stress, Lower Cholesterol - Blog Entry

04 May 2008 06:51 AM

Hi Aimee, For myself, stress is caused by not knowing the outcome of a situation. If a pipe breaks and I have the phone number of a plummer and the money to pay for it...then there is no stress. If the the water ruins the carpet and I have insurance, then there is no stress.

I believe being prepared, making more money than you need for the moment, and being in good health reduces stress levels to a minimum and I consider stressful situations as challenges which is a much more positive experience.

By working on those 3 areas, stress is not really and issue and my health is better all the way around. Eating right can also help you maintain a positive attitude.

Do It Yourself: Staging Your Home to Sell - Blog Entry

Hello Mary Ann, Your post caught my eye in google alerts and I had to pursue it because I too am a do-it-yourself person. Your research on home staging served you well. You were lucky to have found enough real estate agents to help you. But for the many who do not know where to begin and I highly recommend staging yourself...they could visit a website that specializes in do-it-yourself home staging and they explain every detail from a decorator's point of view. All they have to do is log onto www.how2homestage.com and they will find helpful tools to figure paint and room arrangements and they even have a shopping mall to buy slipcovers and stuff like that. Thank you for your post.
