Don’t think. Do. | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Are you an overthinker? Is your mind whirring even when you try and rest? Do thoughts creep into all the quiet places or create a roadblock when you’re trying to work? We can tell ourselves to stop eating when we’re not hungry, or to take a vacation when we’ve worked hard. Why can’t we tell ourselves to quit overthinking? Darius Foroux, who writes about productivity and decision making for many publications, says we can. The trick is to just apply our thinking to where it’s needed most. We’re taught that negative thoughts are bad and that positive thoughts are good. Negative thoughts are related to: - Worrying - Complaining - Anger - Feeling sorry for yourself - Blaming others And positive thoughts are related to: - Trying to solve problems - Studying - Understanding knowledge - Planning - Visualization - Setting goals Most self-help advice says to scrap the negative thoughts and double down on the positive thoughts. When you think about it casually, it sounds like good advice. After all, negative thoughts make our lives worse. And positive thoughts should make our lives better, right? The truth is that when you overuse your brain, just like a drain, it can get clogged. The result? Foggy thinking. Which leads to bad decision making. Thinking is a tool. And instead of using that tool during the 16 or 17 hours that you’re awake, only use it when you NEED it. How? 1. Raise your awareness throughout the day. Always realize that too much thinking defeats the purpose. 2. When you raise awareness, immediately start observing your thoughts. Every time you start thinking, don’t follow through, just observe how you start thinking. When you do that, you will automatically stop. 3. Limit your thinking to specific moments that you need it. For example, when you’re thinking about setting your daily priorities, sit down and think. That might take five minutes. During that time, it’s perfectly fine to think and follow through on your thoughts. 4. Enjoy your life! Let go of all your thoughts about yesterday and tomorrow. No matter how much you want to achieve in the future, and no matter how much you’ve suffered in the past—appreciate that you are alive: NOW.

Replace the negative with the positive....... and next time put the battery in right the first time.

The changing of the bed | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Today, our bedrooms are an oasis, a sanctuary at the end of a long day. They are private spaces, off limits to all but our most loved. But that hasn’t always been the case. As Brian Fagan shows in his book, What We Did in Bed, it wasn’t always this way. For most of human history, people thought nothing of crowding family members or friends into the same bed. Travelers often slept with strangers. In China and Mongolia, kangs—heated stone platforms—were used in inns as early as 5000 B.C. Guests supplied the bedding and slept with fellow tourists. Then there was the Great Bed of Ware—a massive bed kept in an inn in a small town in central England. Built with richly decorated oak around 1590, the four-post bed is about the size of two modern double beds. Twenty-six butchers and their wives—a total of 52 people—are said to have spent a night in the Great Bed in 1689. While regular people crammed into beds, royalty often slept alone or with their spouse. But their bedrooms were hardly bastions of privacy. Louis XIV of France would sit in his bed, bolstered by pillows, and preside over elaborate gatherings. Surrounded by courtiers, he composed decrees and consulted with high officials. During the 19th century, beds and bedrooms gradually became private spheres. A major impetus was rapid urbanization during the Industrial Revolution. In cities, compact row houses were constructed with small rooms, each with a specific purpose, one of which was sleeping. Another reason was religion. The Victorian era was a devout age, and evangelical Christianity was pervasive by the 1830s. Such beliefs placed great emphasis on marriage, chastity, the family, and the bond between parent and child; allowing strangers or friends under the covers was no longer kosher. By 1875, Architect magazine had published an essay declaring that a bedroom used for anything other than sleeping was unwholesome and immoral.

When you’re in the spotlight, think like an actor | E-Neighborhood Advisor

There are times in life when you’re forced to take center stage: making a business presentation, going on a sales call, delivering a eulogy. Michael and Amy Port, two trained actors turned speaking coaches, say that when you feel like all eyes are on you, it’s helpful to think like an actor. Here are three general principles to follow: 1. Know Your Big Picture Goal An actor always performs with a clear purpose or motivation in mind. When you’re thinking about your next high-stakes situation, ask yourself the same question that actors ask when developing a character: “What’s my end goal?” This will help you make choices that are in line with your larger purpose. 2. Think About How You Want the Other Person to Feel The choices made by an actor during a performance — in speech and movement — are in the service of attaining their goal and achieving a specific impact on their audience. Actors call this “playing an action.” Take, for example, a job interview. If you want the employer to feel that you’re someone who is open and collaborative, your action could be speaking about how excited you are to be working with members of your prospective team and bringing up specific names. 3. Scared? Accept It Before you go into a situation that matters, take some time to identify your greatest fear or fears. Be as specific as possible. This practice of pinpointing your precise emotional state is what psychologists call emotional granularity, and people who exhibit greater emotional granularity have been shown to be more able at regulating how they’re feeling and responding appropriately. Then, go for it. Bargain down the price of a new car, pitch that new client, or address a community board meeting. Often, “to be high-level performers both on and off the stage, we need to take great risks and not worry that we’ll be criticized for doing so,” says Amy. Your Flooring Consultant, Matt Capell Email: sales@capellinteriors.com Phone (208) 288-0151 Fax (208) 917-6160 P.S. Here's a joke for you! Why do we tell actors to "break a leg?" Because every play has a cast.

Coronavirus and health anxiety: tips for keeping worry in check | E-Neighborhood Advisor

The coronavirus has caused us all to worry about health, but for sufferers of health anxiety, the worry can be crippling. The Atlantic reports that after infections begin ebbing, a secondary pandemic of mental-health problems will follow. At a moment of profound dread and uncertainty, people are being cut off from soothing human contact.  According to The Guardian, approximately 40 million American adults – roughly 18 percent of the population – have an anxiety disorder. In times like these, where a global pandemic is taking up most of the media conversation, it can be even more difficult to stay calm.  So what can you do? 1. Avoid the (Health-Related) News We all want to keep up to date, but try having a news detox or allocate yourself a time limit for reading or watching news.  2. Try Not to Seek Constant Reassurance It’s natural to want your loved ones to tell you things will be OK, but when you start needing that reassurance several times a day it’s time to take a step back.  3. Introduce an Absolute Ban on Googling Symptoms Dr. Google is not, and never will be, your friend, especially not when you are a sufferer of health anxiety.  4. Try a Countering Technique Confront fears with a rational counter statement. For example, if your persistent thought is something like “Everyone I love will die from this virus” you can counter it with factual statements such as “Actually, most people who get Covid-19 are likely to make a full recovery, and that’s assuming mom, dad and my little sister will even catch it at all.”    5. Get Some Exercise Exercise will help get the adrenaline out of your system and increase endorphines. 6. Breathing and Grounding Exercises From guided yogic breathing to using a strong smell, grounding exercises can help bring you back to reality. Something as simple as sitting on the floor can help. 7. Allocate Yourself a Daily ‘Worry Period’ Give yourself half an hour to worry about this to your heart’s content, and then you have to go and do something else. 8. Treat Yourself Anything that will give you a little boost can help. It doesn’t need to involve spending money: you can also cook yourself something nice, have a hot bath, or listen to a song you love. 9. Remember That Your Anxious State Isn’t Permanent When you are in it, anxiety always feels as though it will never end, but it will. Be kind to yourself. It may be a bit cheesy, but this too shall pass. Your Flooring Consultant, Matt Capell Email: sales@capellinteriors.com Phone (208) 288-0151 Fax (208) 917-6160 P.S. Here's a joke for you!

Welcome to June 2020 | Capell Flooring and Interiors

Hello friends, Welcome to the June edition of the Neighborhood Advisor! Here’s hoping that we’re all able to get into some summer fun, we aren’t sure if that means spending time in the water, or getting out of town for a family vacation, but we hope you’ve got some fun plans anyway. As nice as it is to be getting outside, that can also mean more things are getting inside – things like dirt & grass tracked in from outside. And if your flooring is not designed to handle that level of traffic, or is starting to show its age, a single summer can do a lot of damage. That’s why at Capell Flooring and Interiors, we conduct a full Design Audit where we talk to every client about their needs and the level of traffic the area sees before we make a recommendation on flooring. We want to make sure that whatever you choose for your home, from an attractive and easy-to-care-for vinyl to a plush carpeting, you’re going to be happy for years to come. Thank you once again for spending a bit of your summer with our newsletter. We hope you find an article, trivia contest, or puzzle you love, and we can’t wait to see you in the store some time soon. Your friend, Matt Capell
