General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Yard Sales

My best friend goes to yard sales every Saturday.  I haven't really given it a thought in years until recently.  I am mainly interested in CDs.  I took a chance on a Jordin Sparks CD for $1 and it's really good.  Does anyone else go to yard sales?  If so, good luck!

I’ve gone to a couple when it was to raise money for a charity for children.

Arfie if you have junk you really don’t want. I would just get a dumpster and throw it away if you have clothes you no longer wear you could donate the to a shelter or church and if you have blankets or quilts you no longer use or need you could always donate those to an animal shelter. I turned one of my old blankets into a bed for my dog and a small throw blanket into a bed for my cat I wash those once a week.

I feel yard sales are to much work where do you really get much unless if your looking to social with neighbors but I live in a culdasac where there only 5 houses so it wouldn’t do me good lol

Yard sales use to be fun. I'm at a point in life where I am getting rid of things I just really don't need. If I don't use it at least a couple of times a month, I call it clutter lol!

beneath, that's good! I don't bring anything into my house that I won't use, other than maybe a candle.

I used to go to yard sales occasionally when I was younger.
I enjoyed looking for items I would like to buy. Never bought that
much. Have had my own yard sales and it is definitely a whole lot
of work. There are several companies that will haul away your junk.
You can also take things you don't use to a thrift store. We used to
clear out old clothes and stuff and take them to the thrift store. Now a days
we are limited in our driving distance so we have pick up from the thrift
at our home.

When I worked down at the shore, I went to yard sales on my lunch break. I went to wealthy neighborhoods and scored up! That was over 20 years ago. I am careful not to bring stuff into my house. I am not big on decorating. Tired has a good idea about bringing stuff to the thrift stores. I did that about 5 years ago. I give clothes that don't fit to a church lady who comes to my brother's shop. It feels good.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
