Stress is harmful to us mentally and physically.
Stress makes you feel down, depressed, and can keep you from getting sleep.
It can also raise your blood pressure leading to more severe medical problems.
Having high levels of stress can cause you to have headaches, migraines, nervous breakdowns, and even heart problems.
Unfortunately, our daily lives are full of things that can cause stress.
Everyone has some kind of personal and work related stress.
We all have a lot to juggle each day.
Trying to keep a fair balance between work, family, responsibilities and bills can be extremely difficult.
It's just something that you can't get rid of.
However, there are ways to keep your stress levels down.
I want to share my favorite way to battle stress.
Noises After a hard day at work you just want to go home and relax.
Even relaxing at home can be difficult without some type of aid.
There are always those annoying background noises that keep irritating you.
For example, constant humming noises form electronics, appliances, and central heat and air units just to name a few.
These noises can make it hard to relax and even sleep.
I have found that drowning out those background noises with something much more soothing helps me relax tremendously.
Indoor fountains are perfect for drowning out these background noises, because they create a white noise effect.
The sound of the water flowing through the fountain replaces those other noises, helps you relax, and assists in getting a deeper sleep.
The sound of flowing water is used in other products used to aid in sleeping as well.
Sound machines have recorded sounds like rain, babbling brooks, and ocean waves to aid in sleeping.
They are using the same sound effects you can get from an indoor fountain.
Aesthetics Sound machines are great, but they are not usually pleasing to the eye.
Most sound machines look like clock radios.
Indoor fountains on the other hand, come in many different types, sizes, and designs.
You can find a fountain that fits your home decor and style, whether it's whimsical, elegant, or a theme.
When we see things we like, it makes us happy.
When you are happy you aren't stressed.
That is why we decorate our homes and surround ourselves with these things that we like.
They help you relieve stress in more than one way.
Indoor water fountains not only help you relax through soothing sounds, but also are visually pleasing.
Nature Have you ever wondered why most vacations are taken in places near large bodies of water? These are places where you can find peace and tranquility.
That is the whole idea of a vacation is to get away from the day-to-day, and enjoy the beauty of mother nature.
However, vacations can be very expensive.
Indoor fountains cost less than a vacation, and you can find one to fit any budget.
Nature, on it's own, is very tranquil and peaceful.
Just imagine sitting on a beach, a river bank, or a pier on the lake.
Close your eyes, and listening to the water current as it flows.
It just doesn't get more peaceful than that.
The sound of the flowing water in rivers, lakes, and oceans are extremely soothing.
Indoor fountains bring these relaxing sounds from nature directly into your living space.
Indoor fountains can help combat stress through drowning out background noises, being visually appealing, and bringing elements of nature into your home.
This is how indoor fountains help you fight stress and relax!
