Stay Calm And Carry On

This week, we at Southwest Florida Dream Builders thought that we could take a minute to talk about destressing techniques. We all know it’s been a stressful time, lately. Below is an article that provides 20 tips for reducing your daily stress. Among them are reminders that many of us know about, like getting some exercise. One of the simplest tips on the list is to go get yourself a house plant. Researchers have found that simply being around plants can induce your relaxation response. One Washington State University study found that a group of stressed-out people who entered a room full of plants had a four-point drop in their blood pressure. The article even goes on to guide you in what type of plants would be best for your house or office. There are many common techniques (eat a chocolate, step away from the screen) and uncommon techniques (turn off your phone, eat a banana) to check out in the article. Remember, if you are the calm one in your family, your group of friends, or workplace, then there is hope for all of them to calm, too. If we are all frantic, then there is no hope for the group. We hope all of you Southwest Florida Dream Builder fans are staying frosty out there.
