1. Don’t isolate yourself. A lot of the stresses we face will make us feel alone as if we can’t talk to anyone. It’s necessary to reach out and sometimes get help from other sources to relieve stress. Even if you don’t feel like socializing, being around others in a positive way is a great option to clear your mind of negative thoughts. If you don’t particularly want to be around your friends or family, you can volunteer with organizations in your community....

Just as our physical energy is limited, so too do we have a limited amount of mental stamina. Most people think about managing their time to some degree, but they think less about the even scarcer resource that we possess: our mental energy. We all have a finite amount of energy each day, and the brain uses a whopping 20% of that in order to function. Imagine that your mind was a battery pack....

It can even occur in teenagers. What are the symptoms of prostatitis? A key symptom to watch out for is pain. Sufferers may report pain in the lower back, buttocks, pelvis and genitals. This symptom may be severe. Another important symptom is a change in urinary habits....

It is possible to distinguish someone who is kindhearted but has this fake protective persona of being evil from the real thing. People may tell you you’re mean or evil, but you know that’s not true. Here are some signs you may identify with. You don’t smile often You have a stern appearance. While this might seem cold or unattractive, it is not who you are. You simply don’t want to be taken advantage of or you are trying to know who you are dealing with before you open up with a cheerful outlook....

Getting great (or at least good) sleep requires a proactive approach, and most people aren’t wired to create a strategic approach to sleeping well. Waking up tired isn’t just about a horrible feeling; it affects your health, your mood, and your cognitive functioning. It’s safe to say we aren’t at our peak performance under the influence of a lack of sleep. As much as we love coffee or any source of caffeine, the solution lies in your ability to change your patterns....

1. Having no clear objectives A brainstorm with a vague or unclear purpose will wander and lose its way. So set a clear objective. The purpose of the brainstorm is to generate many creative ideas to answer a specific goal. It is best to express the goal as a question. A wooly objective is not helpful. ‘How can we do better?’ is not as good as ‘How can we double sales in the next 12 months?...

Whatever reasons you have for visiting India, when you visit this country, it is more than a visit; it is an understanding of a way of life that only can be explained with the witness of the atmosphere, both literally and metaphorically. Many of the remarkably vibrant and unique attractions are among the colorful and bustling hill stations that rest among the mighty Himalayan Mountains. #1. Mcleodganj Situated low in the mountains, Mcleodganj is a highly cultural and eclectic tourist town with a strong Buddhist influence....

Why did you hire a tutor? Not all families hire a tutor for the same reason. If your child needs help to learn a specific concept like borrowing in subtraction or to improve a general subject area like writing, the answers to those first questions will be different. Are you simply looking for homework support, help with overall organization, or is there a specific project to be completed? Many families find alternate ways to provide extra academic support without the extra expense (ie....

Change has been a constant with careers. In past generations, people would ask you where you worked for a living. Most people got their paycheck from a major corporation like Ford Motor Company, IBM, or Dupont. With that employer was the expectation of life-long employment. Things are different now. People ask what you do for a living. Answers like nurse, lawyer, and sales rep are given. Career paths are not as linear as they used to be....

Annoying, aren’t they? What’s so wrong with being ineffective anyway? Other than not getting stuff done and not having fun doing it, it’s pretty peachy. Why can’t they be like the rest of us? Actually, maybe being highly ineffective isn’t all that great after all. Maybe things would be a little better if we dropped the habits (like these seven) that highly effective people never picked up in the first place....

Wouldn’t it be great to get permanently organized to send cards? If this is something you’d like to improve upon, I have several suggestions that include some great Outlook tips! There are many options out there for getting reminders one-at-a-time, and you can certainly write birthdays into your calendar. However, for many people this still doesn’t seem to work for getting cards out in the mail on time. A system that works well for me is to use an Outlook task to pop up and remind me to write cards once a month....

SquakFox has four tips to save you money, including flipping over the Swiffer sheet so you can use both sides, washing the sheets and dusters in a mesh lingerie bag, buying generics and, the most earth-friendly solution, using a microfiber washcloth in place of the sheets.

While the following strategies are very effective, they are not always comfortable or easy to implement, so it’s a good thing that you and I are all about doing what works – not what’s easy! Not every point will be relevant for every person, so see what resonates for you. Also be warned that I may be a little… er… blunt in places (surprising, I know), so if you’re feeling a bit presh you may wanna read from behind a cushion (like in a scary movie)....

Our days are now filled with checking emails, calling people, watching TV and surfing the web. This is all well and good, I mean you wouldn’t want to miss the latest cat video or listicle. However, our technology obsession is now infiltrating our sleep time! Check out this infographic to see just how many of us are surfing instead of sleeping.

There are some awesome free and premium templates available online that can be edited to fit your personal needs in minutes. Most of us go into freelancing because we want to enjoy the flexibility of working from anywhere we want....

When I’m in my garden, I love to take off my shoes and socks and walk barefoot on freshly mowed grass. I bond with nature and relieve stress, gain energy and stay in balance. I love my yard and my garden. Wouldn’t give it away for anything. The common misconception about yard maintenance in 2016 is that, only people who have the time and money can afford to have a rich and quality yard and enjoy the benefits that it provides....

Salmon If you really want to beef up your protein intake – pardon the pun – salmon is a great way to go, as are other fatty fish like tuna or mackerel. These are all rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are well-known for their ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body, including the joints themselves. That is why these kind fish are so popular among those who want to eat as healthy as possible....
