WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THEIR CELL PHONE GETTING THEIR ATTENTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ?

Your cell phone keeps you connected to work, friends, and family wherever you are, but excessive use can damage your relationships. Many people ignore the people they’re with to attend to the virtual world.  This habit creates real consequences, including different ways cell phones are ruining relationships and destroying your marriage.  Some call it Phubbing which means remaining engaged with the phone rather than interacting with the person you are with.  This is a habit of compulsive use of cell phones to such an extent that cell phones are ruining relationships and could be detrimental not only to real-life relationships but also the daily activities, in general. 

Using too many phones and ignoring the one we are with often harms the relationship, unless this occurs occasionally due to an important mail, message, or call.  When this becomes a pattern,...

A frustrating situation to be in is deciding when to quit your 9–5 job.  It isn’t clear cut by any means but there are somethings to have set before you take the leap to self-employment.

It’s not like one day you started your side business and the next you’re making enough money to pay yourself a living wage. There’s a long in-between settling in and learning curve period that’s difficult to get through.

Once you’ve achieved even a small piece of success your side business begins to become a reality in your mind as if your idea has been validated.

Now the pressure is on to take it full-time. This begins before any significant money is earned the pressure to earn more comes from your desire to go full-time.

From then on it always feels like your side business is always on the cusp of taking off and becoming a huge success if only you had time to put all of your effort into it you would be a successful endeavor very quickly.

CAN WRITING A DIARY BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH?

Okay, someone told me yesterday that having a diary to journal your life is actually good for your health!  What?  How can me writing a paragraph in a diary everyday have any impact on my health whatsoever?  Get ready to be surprised this is what I found out:

1. Writing will improve your memory- Because of the focus your brain has to endure when writing thinking of the meaning of the words and grammar is correct which in turn exercises our synaptic gaps which improves our recollection strengthening our ability to recall information.
2. Improves sleep – when we write our concerns it allows us to let it go and stop worrying about or dwelling on the subject. This in turn allows your mind to relax and thus fall asleep quicker.
3. Keeping a diary helps alleviate stress- when we acknowledge our emotions in writing, such as expressing anger, frustrations, depression, jealousy, or any type of emotion, it will give you clarity and...

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS AND

HOW DOES IT BENEFIT SOMEBODY?

            Definition of Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the ability for somebody to be fully present and aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overwhelmed or reacting inappropriately, by what’s going on around us. It suggests that the mind is fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, to the space you’re moving through. That might seem boring and basic; however, the annoying fact is that we are so often distracted from the matter at hand. Our mind takes flight, we lose touch with our body, and before you know it, you’re engaged in obsessive thoughts about something that happened in the past or fretting about the future. And that makes us anxious, stressed, and depressed. Mindfulness is an effective way to learn how to relax by becoming more aware and...

Hi, how are you?  I’m fine and you?  I’m fine.  This is a typical script for many workmates. It always reminds me of Junior High French class. Comment Ca Va?  Ça va bien, et vous?    The question is should you form a friendship with your co-workers or is it best to keep it to professional relationships only?

For sure, if you only engage in benign subjects that are superficial in matter you will not foster any real friendships or bond with others at work ordinarily. However, people who have a “best friend” at work are more likely to be happier and healthier; they are also seven times more likely to be engaged in their job. It has been shown that employees who report having friends at work have higher levels of productivity, retention, and job satisfaction than those who don’t.

According to Pew and the American Life project, only 12% of Americans' closest ties are with work colleagues. 19% said that they had...

If you make changes to one of the four basic pillars of your being it will improve all of them.  The four pillars of any person are Health, Relationships, Finances and Mindfulness.  I base this entire premise on Maslow Hierarchy of Needs which states that you first must have your physiological needs met then your basic security needs after that you need relationships then your self-esteem and you will next reach self-actualization.   

The pillars that I refer to are based on these because I define Health as your physiological needs, Financial covers your need to feel secure.  Relationships are just that the relationships you have whether it is with a Spouse or lover or a family member, a work colleague, or some other acquaintance.  I couple Self Esteem and Self Actualization together as mindfulness. Therefore, for clarity, I agree with Maslow, however, I label it a little different   because it is easier to comprehend what I am referring...
