Hold Your Head Up

When in the quest to eliminate your credit card debt, it becomes a challenge at times to remain focused and disciplined. The stress level can be extremely heavy at times, and that stress can take its toll on you if you aren't prepared to deal with it. Here are some "stress busters" that may help you to deal with the stress of eliminating credit card debt, but also with other stresses in your life:

* Exercise - You wouldn't have to train for a marathon nor attempt to break the world record for weight-lifting, but sometimes something as simple as a thirty minute walk can help to put your mind on something else. Personally, I use the summertime months to get my exercise outdoors by mowing our yard (by hand, of course). The hour or so gives me some much needed exercise plus the satisfaction of seeing our lawn look neat (and it saves money to do it yourself)

* Read a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) book - you don't have to run to the bookstore to find these books, they are often at the local library for free. Some of my favorites include Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, See You At the Top by Zig Ziglar, or Personal Power by Anthony Robbins

* Take a picnic lunch/dinner to a park - just having dinner and enjoying the outdoors (while saving money) can serve as a "charge" to your inner batteries

* Listen to music - Some people like to listen to music (and most radio stations are free) and there is a variety of stations out there for you. You can even find music that you like to listen to online for free.

My personal wish is for you to become successful in eliminating your credit card debt and to enjoy life as it was meant to be enjoyed! Have a GREAT day!
