Beat Stress Caused by Economic Pressures

September 1, 2008 Between a rising cost of living and increased economic pressures, anxious thoughts tend to take up more "brain space."

To help maintain emotional balance during tough economic times:

• Brainstorm with your family about ways to cut costs. Work as a team.
• Turn off the television and spend time with nature-it has an amazing capacity to give you new perspective on what's really important.
• Include soothing music, meditation or light reading in your daily ritual.
• Reach out to creditors to arrange lower rates, consolidation or assistance.
