How to Relax While Watching College Hoops

They don’t call it March Madness for nothing! You may notice family, friends, and officemates going a little crazy with brackets right now. In fact, you might be sucked in to the action yourself. Like the NFL Super Bowl, March Madness brackets have a way of bringing people together to get the ultimate prize – bragging rights! Whatever level of involvement (or non) you have, here’s a few reminders of how to relax while watching the drama unfold:
It’s only a game! When all is said and done, it’s not neurosurgery or a cure for cancer, its basketball! Watching the games should be fun since players are intensely competing. Some of them are trying to showcase themselves for the NBA while others know this is their last hoorah. Enjoy that spirit of competition and relax!

Stop whining that you don’t like it! If you are one of those who don’t like sports (those three words just don’t go together), stop complaining about this month and enjoy the camaraderie! You are only going to get worked up talking about how you’d rather be watching “Sex in the City” or “Oprah” and no one will want to listen!

If you really can’t hang – go do something else! Please don’t nag the rest of us who are enjoying it. If you are feeling overwhelmed then just go do your own thing. Don’t ask me why I am interested in some “silly game” when you take advice from some talk show host that really doesn’t care about your existence or your problems!

Enjoy!
