This week’s tip: Reduce Your Stress Level 

Yeah, I know, easier said than done, but there are many stress busters to choose from. 

For one: Think positively.

Try to spend at least thirty minutes a day doing something you enjoy. (i.e.,Taking a walk on the beach or in a park, visiting with friends, soaking in a hot tub, reading a good book, taking a yoga class, playing with your dog or cat, listening to calming music, watching a funny movie).

Some other ideas: Meditate. When you feel stressed out, practice deep breathing, count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated.  Avoid difficult people when possible.

Sure, your days are jam-packed with all those things that keep a retailer busy, (customer care, inventory management, getting your unequal fair share of the marketplace), so now more than ever it is important to maintain a healthy body, mind & spirit.  Being less stressed helps in more ways than one, as those around you will feel that sense of peace about you, …leading to better customer care, better sales, better relationships.

If you have any insights, tips, comments that you have seen that work, don’t hesitate to post a comment and share, as we’re always on the lookout for improving the quality of our lives and those of our members here at the GHC.
