How we Spell Relief !

A Pennsylvania man said that he went to jail to leave his wife, according to reports. Anthony Miller, 39, approached teller at a bank with a BB gun, asking for money and then telling them to call the police. The defense attorney said that he even asked about the efforts to contact the police while the event was going on. Because his then-wife had threatened to commit suicide if he left her, Miller thought this was a “smart” way out. He pleaded guilty in June and received three to six years in prison, and had been divorced at the time of sentencing. Sounds like some bad timing!

It also sounds like Miller needed a serious break. High levels of stress can cause major changes in one's body, which includes the effect on one's energy level, clear mental facilities, and immune system. Maybe if Miller had been able to part from his wife even through a simple “guy's only” camping trip, he would have been better off. While common symptoms of stress can include back pain, a headache, and fast breathing, long-term stress can have far-reaching effects on the skin, the reproductive organs, the muscles, and the stomach. Chronic stress can also make you unable to handle the simple stuff about life over a long period of time—again, Miller sounds like a pretty good candidate.

It's a common misconception that all luxury hotels are out of reach of the average budget. With so many ongoing sales, exclusive perks, and special industry offerings, you'll be able to bust stress, save money, and head back to “real life” feeling fresh.
