Article: . Few would be surprised to hear that among the myriad benefits healthy eating provides, stress relief is one of them. Don't let junk food and sugary sweets bog you down and increase your anxiety hormones. Instead, incorporate healthy grains, fruits, and vegetables into your daily diet, and your body will compensate by creating more stress-fighting hormones. . The infamous 'runners high' isn't a phenomenon isolated solely to runners; exerting yourself physically releases endorphins that make you happy. That means that if you're stressed, you can cheer yourself up and throw your anxiety out the window just by making your heart work a bit harder. Head for a bike ride or swim, pick up some weights, or play your favorite sport to gain both physical and mental health. . When people get stressed and overwhelmed with a million and one things to do, often one of the first things to be sacrificed is sleep. However, this is one of the biggest health mistakes you can make. Getting adequate sleep allows your body to recharge and refresh, leaving you with a clean slate in the morning. If you don't get enough sleep, your body can't get rid of the excess hormones and toxins that have built up and cause stress, making your stress a never-ending cycle. Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep on a nightly basis. . If you are in a healthy relationship, try going to your partner for a bit of physical touch. Studies have shown that regular cuddling, kissing, and sex all release oxytocin - a hormone that produces happiness and reduces stress. That's right - some of your favorite activities actually improve your mental well-being. Do these on a regular basis to keep your hormone levels up in general, making it less likely that you'll get stressed out in the first place. A top reason many people participate in religious practices -- to find relief of stress and anxiety. If you are already a part of a religious group, try turning towards it more during your times of stress for its peaceful benefits. It is likely you will find relief with the support of your faith community while growing stronger spiritually simultaneously. If you suffer from chronic stress, consider joining a religious group and see what inner guidance and comfort it has to offer. . It's easy to get stressed when the people you surround yourself with are unhealthy and co-dependent. Rather than maintaining negative relationships with people that annoy you or cause anxiety, begin to nurture relationships that support you and make you feel better. You'll feel better in the long run, even if it's difficult in the short run, to seek and keep happier, healthier friendships in your life.

Article: in the game. Time travel involves abusing the time cycle by traveling forward two days, and then rewinding two days, thus speeding up the natural process. This way, you hit the natural cycle of animals moving out. Be careful, time travel has other consequences. It is possible that using this method will result in you losing a villager that you don't want to move out, especially if you are not vigilant in checking with all of the villagers to see if anyone is moving. To check with all of the villagers, simply talk to each one, preferably multiple times, by pressing "A" to see if there's any new gossip or someone brings up moving out. Remember, before attempting to get any villagers to move out, you must have at least eight villagers already moved in. All this really means is that if you just started the game, you'll need to wait a few days for the population to naturally increase before you can convince anyone to move out. This is a very easy method to achieve. Simply ignore the villagers who you want to move out. Don't talk to them, but continue playing the game and letting time progress. Hopefully, another villager will tell you that the villager you've been ignoring is thinking of moving out soon, and you'll know it worked. Be careful: If you talk to the ignored villager after hearing they're going to move out, no matter what you say, the villager will then decide to stay instead of leave. For example, if you've been particularly mean to a villager lately and ignoring him or her, the option "Good luck!" might be replaced with "Who are you?!" which then prompts that animal to stay. Playing favorites, although the opposite of ignoring villagers, seems to also produce results in terms of getting residents to move out. To accomplish this, simply talk to the villager multiple times a day, more than any other villagers, by pressing "A."

Article: Most chain thrift outlets like Goodwill and the Salvation Army will put you on a mailing list for coupon and sale opportunities. These same stores often take pictures of furniture and other "in demand" items and post them online. Reviewing online offerings before shopping can save you trips around town. Anticipate what people will be turning out of their closets at certain times during the year. When planning your thrifting trips, for certain items, consider the following: Shop for summer clothes in the fall when people are thinning out their warm weather clothes in favor of sweaters and coats. The same goes for getting winter clothes in the spring. Look for kitchen items and accessories after college graduations. When students are done with school, they often move back home or to a new city for employment, leaving behind many gently-used kitchen items, lamps, bedding items, etc. Look for furniture during the summer and early fall. More people get married during the summer than any other time of year and often have duplicate furniture items that wind up at thrift stores. Looking to get the best deals that thrifting has to offer? Create a weekly rotation for thrifting, centered around when new shipments arrive at each store. Other things to consider are: Shop early. If you want to get first pick, arrive as the store opens. Shop late. On sale days, some stores are looking to clear out all items on sale, and will offer deeper discounts just before closing.
