Stress Management: The Nigro Firm Goes Fishing

Recently, on a local radio station we heard an ad for fishing licenses. Our first reaction was, "What?! They have to advertise to sell the opportunity to go fishing?" Obviously... fewer people are fishing than used to! Are people taking less time to relax?

There are many ways to reduce stress. One way is through rest and relaxation, which many find in knee waiters in the middle of a cold, rocky stream with a pole in hand, even when not a single fish bites.

We at the Nigro Firm believe that hobbies, vacations, days off and even just a simple belly laugh are good ways to reduce stress. Lower stress levels help our team be more productive, work more cooperatively, and more creatively.

You don't have to go fishing to relax. "Gone Fishing" can be more of a metaphor to represent all forms of recreation or to simply indicate that you need to just take a break. So, next time you are stressed and wish you could just get away, put up a "gone fishing" sign on your office door and just take a few minutes to clear your mind. Often just ten minutes of meditation or relaxation can save an hour of stressful time wasting.
