Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..MON.4/10/06

Don't let advertisers make you feel inadequate.

Companies spend billions each year to convince us we're tasteless, uncouth, unsanitary, out of touch, incomplete bumpkins if we don't use their products or services. If anyone has to resort to those tactics, it's likely you don't need the item to begin with, much less the insults that go with it. In fact, when an ad attempts to make you feel lacking, you should make a point NOT to buy it. It'll give you a feeling of empowerment, and free you from the stress of chasing after yet another contrived need. Don't let profit motivated advertisers shame you into purchasing their products. Buy on true need alone. Why make yourself crazy?

Throw away junk mail unopened.

If you know what's inside -- and most junk mail will tip you off on the outside -- toss it. You could easily waste ten to twenty minutes a day sorting through useless trash-bound mail. Why be roped into needless clerical work by people who are intruding on your time? If it's something that genuinely interests you, fine. Otherwise, let your shredder swallow it whole. Why make yourself crazy?
