Stress tends to build up during the day. When it's time to go to bed, your mind is probably racing, and you're probably thinking about tomorrow's to-do list while trying to keep track of everything.

You may shift your focus away from your current situation by immersing yourself in a good book. According to one study, reading for six minutes can reduce stress by up to 68 percent.

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
