There is no pressure at my work-space, but it somehow works on my mind and I keep thinking about work long after I leave office hours. I am under constant pressure because of this and it impacts my personal relationships be it with my family or friends who are all from different professions, and hence would not understand the nature of job. What should I do to stop myself from thinking about work and work-related stuff at home?
Learn to create hour-tight compartments for different parts of your life — family, work, personal and social. Each of these areas accesses different parts of your personality. Some areas expect a purposeful, serious part of you to manifest, whereas others access the playful child in you. Each space has much to add to your sense of happiness and satisfaction, as they allow different parts of yourself to blossom. So learn to switch off from one to the other smoothly. Some people use a bath, meditation and fresh, home clothes to switch into their warm, nurturing, home selves. Do not carry work home or carry domestic worries to office. Life is a many splendoured thing. Find time to enjoy and celebrate, to laugh, to love and find wonder in everyday things.
How does one use time effectively? I work from home and usually find myself on the phone so much, that I am unable to answer personal calls, and chat with friends and family. So much so, that now most of my close friends and family have stopped calling me. I also think that work completely takes me on to another planet, which is why I am usually so late for most personal errands and during this festive season, it's not such a great thing. Do tell me how I can manage my time as everyone is either angry with me or has realised that they would rather not call or connect. I am drowining in this. please help.
Do not be a slave to your cellphone. Record all the numbers important to you. Prioritise the calls you have to take. You don’t have to jump up and take calls at all times of day or night. It works for many, to set apart time to return office calls and a different time to answer personal calls. Tell your friends and family about a convenient time when you will be “at home” for them. This way your dear ones will know what is good time to call you. Ask your friends and family to SMS if it is urgent, critical or an emergency. This way you will be more effective and feel more in control of your time. In brief consider the Big five rules of Time management.
1. Set priories
2. Give time to building relationships
3. Take time to plan
4. Take time to organise
5. Finally, be flexible
God willing you will achieve great things, while still finding time to Live! Before your internal clock stops ticking.
High BP can boost the risks of leading killers such as heart attack and stroke, as well as aneurysms and kidney failure. While medication can lower BP, it may cause side effects such as leg cramps, dizziness, and insomnia. Luckily, most people can bring down their blood pressure naturally without medication. Here are 13 natural alternatives to prescribed drugs, according to ABC News.
Go for power walks: Hypertensive patients who went for fitness walks at a brisk pace lowered pressure by almost 8 mmhg over 6 mmhg. Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, so it doesn't work as hard to pump blood.Breathe right: Slow breathing and meditative practices such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi decrease stress hormones, which elevate renin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. So try these breathing techniques for five minutes in the morning and at night. Inhale deeply and expand your belly. Exhale and release all of your tension.Eat potatoes: Loading up on potassium-rich fruits and vegetables like potato, is an important part of any blood pressure-lowering program, says Linda Van Horn, PhD, RD, professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medical.Cut down on salt: Lower salt intake to 1,500 mg daily, says Eva Obarzanek, PhD, a research nutritionist at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.Indulge in dark chocolate: Dark chocolate varieties contain flavanols that make blood vessels more elastic. In one study, 18 percent of patients who ate it everyday saw a considerable decrease in their blood pressure.Take a supplement: In a review of 12 studies, researchers found that coenzyme Q10 reduced blood pressure by up to 17 mmhg over 10 mmhg.Reduce alcohol intake: According to a review of 15 studies, the less you drink, the lower your blood pressure will drop - to a point.Switch to decaf coffee: A study from Duke University Medical Center found that caffeine consumption of 500 mg - roughly three 8-ounce cups of coffee - increased blood pressure by 4 mmhg, and that effect lasted until bedtime.Drink tea: Study participants who sipped 3 cups of a hibiscus tea daily lowered systolic blood pressure by 7 points in 6 weeks on average, said researchers from Tufts University - results on par with many prescription medications.Work (a bit) less: Putting in more than 41 hours per week at the office raises your risk of hypertension by 15 percent, according to a University of California, Irvine, study of 24,205 California residents.Relax with music: Listening to soothing classical, Celtic, or Indian music for 30 minutes daily while breathing slowly helps lower blood pressure, according to researchers at the University of Florence in Italy.Seek help for snoring: University of Alabama researchers found that many sleep apnea sufferers had high levels of aldosterone, a hormone that can boost blood pressure.
