Each year about this time I try to encourage you to do whatever you can to get out and enjoy your summer. I also realize that current conditions are making it even harder this year for many to find time and money for a full vacation.
Too many of us are either out of work, trying to save our home or rebuilding retirement savings because of economic uncertainty. However for your own good and your family, you do need to take advantage of any reasonable opportunity to relax and relieve some stress the summer.
This has already been a bad year and it doesn’t look like much will change before the elections in November. This means more stress and anxiety for all of us, although the degree may vary. You need to relax and recharge as best you can so you can deal with what comes ahead.
I’m not suggesting that you run up a lot of debt you can’t handle just to have a flashy vacation but do some things you can afford and enjoy. You need to try to maintain a positive attitude not only for your own good but for your spouse and family. Relieving stress and anxiety not only affects your mental attitude but does more good for your physical health than many realize.
Pushing yourself too hard can do more harm than good. You can find ways to have fun and relax without spending a fortune to do so.
If you are able to travel this summer, you’ll find there are some great bargains available. So many people are not able to travel this year that resorts are offering very impressive incentives to lure those who can. Just do some research ahead of time and you’ll be impressed at how much you should be able to afford.
(Thought you might enjoy some scenery.)
Even if you can’t take your regular vacation this summer, you ought to be able to find places closer to home you can afford and enjoy. A lot of us are in the same boat this year. Do the best you can to make the most of this summer and enjoy the people closest to you. Even if it is only a backyard barbecue or day trip to the lake or mountains, have fun with your family.
If you are having much more trouble with stress and anxiety than you feel a vacation can solve, you may find some help with Conquering Stress , simply click that link for details. Many others have found it to be helpful and I hope you will too.
This mess is not your fault. We’ve all got to look out for ourselves and our families the best we can for now. Do your best and be sure to remember to vote in November to get our country back.
All things considered, I hope you are able to make this summer a pleasant one.
Best regards,
Charles Moore
