Management tip 1: Know your triggers This comes with time but once you learn to recognize your triggers, then you will find managing any anxiety or worries a lot easier. What do I mean by a trigger though? Any kind of behavior that might be erratic or out of character that indicates to you that something is not quite right. This might be eating excessively, over exercising or a particular worrying, reoccurring dream. This will be your subconscious, letting you know to take a step back, analyze what is wrong and prepare yourself to deal with it head on. Management tip 2: Exercise For me exercise is the key to a stress free mind and a can-do attitude. I am sure I don’t need to bore you about the endless mental and physical benefits of exercise (if you do want to know, read Health24’s  article ). Even if you are not the sporty type, you’ll find benefit in engaging in light exercise, such as a gentle bike ride or a walk in the park. In a study reported in the book, ...

If you are an introvert it’s easy to assume the extroverts in our life could never understand how we view love. But let’s give them some insight as to how we view love and our relationships. Time to help them out a bit at deciphering the magical mysterious beings we introverts are! 1. Introverts need quiet time with those we love. We are quiet, but the voice in our heads is very loud. Sometimes loving us is simply respecting the quiet we need to function. We don’t need the air full of words to feel love. We just need you with us, quietly there allowing us to be authentic. We love to enjoy simple, quiet time together with you by our side. 2. Introverts can step out of our comfort zone for love. We can stretch and be more extroverted for brief periods of time. We only do so for people who truly mean the world to us. So when we agree to go to the large wedding party with you, we would love if you could balance that gift. The next day we may need...

Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, said that a lie repeated often enough becomes truth. And it is the only thing anyone in their right mind would agree with him about. It is amazing the crazy things that people are ready to believe in simply because they heard them many times; in this article we will take a look at 9 such myths. 1.     Humans Only Use 10% of Their Brains Beliefs tend to persist based on how interesting rather than how correct they are. And in this respect,  this one is a champion . No one knows who started it, but it probably originates from the fact that parts of the brain can be removed without causing any significant harm. However, different areas of the brain are specialized. You use one to discern faces, another to keep you upright and so on. There is actually no way to use the entire brain for a single task. 2.     Thomas Edison Invented the Light Bulb We are used to thinking about Edison as a l...

A really rich Chinese man sent his son to the rural area and wanted him to experience poverty. His son lived with a family in the rural area for three days, and when he returned home, he had the following conversation with his father. The father asked, “so how was it?” The son said “I think it’s alright.” “What’s the difference between our home and their home?” the father asked. “Wow! There are a lot of differences!” with excitement, the son continued, “We have a dog at home, but they have four. We have purified water in our swimming pool but they have a really big pond with fresh and clear water, there’s even fish in there! There’re light bulbs in our garden while the moon and the stars shine brightly on their fields at night. Our garden is limited by the walls, but theirs is limitless. Their garden is like extending to the edge of the sky. We listen to the CDs back home, yet they listen to the tweets of birds and other natural sounds. Our house is surrounded by walls, but t...
