Calming breath

Every time I felt stressed and pressured, I tried to calm myself down by doing deep and calming breath. It is just very easy to do. It will really make you feel relax and alive again. When you breathe properly you will have proper oxygenation that will give you energy. You can try this calming breath it is just very easy and it is very effective. Close your eyes and cover your right nostril with your right thumb. Exhale all the air from your lungs through your left nostril, and then inhale through the same nostril for four counts. Next, keep your right nostril closed with your thumb and use your right ring finger to close your left nostril; hold for four counts. Lift your thumb and exhale slowly through your right nostril for eight counts. Lift your ring finger. Repeat five times. Try it is very beneficial.

Pray for others

Do you feel tired? Down? Depressed? Discouraged? You can feel good when you do what Dr. Norman Vincent Peale did. Pray for everyone you can think of by name. Lifting up other people (even if they don’t know it) is in itself uplifting. It is said in the bible in Psalms 11:25 “Who refreshes others will he himself be refreshed. It is really worth a try. It will not only bless others but it blesses you more.

I love chocolates now

For many years, I do not really like chocolates. Sometimes I feel weird because mostly everyone loves chocolates. But now it is really my favourite. I love chocolates!!!!. I do not know exactly how this happened. It started when my sister bought a lot of chocolates. It was all divided to the members of the church, relatives and each members of our family. I had chocolate on hand until it is all consumed. I plan to always have a bar of chocolate with me when I start to have my work.

Turned out unexpected

I love how this photo turned out this way. I love it. I was focusing my camera very close to the very center of a red rose. This was not what I expected to come up. To me it is like a piece of painting. Don't you think? Sometimes in life there will come a time that you will be surprised with the things you do not expect while be disappointed the things you expect to happen.

Healthy snack

Most of the time, I used to bring with me a little something to eat. I usually work 12 hours. I need something to boost my energy because my work requires me to work hard. A 12-hour shift sapped my energy. That is why I need to always have like small bags of nuts and dried fruit in my bag. The healthy fats and fiber in this snack will sustain me longer. This will help me be good in my work.

Humor the great equalizer

Our family loves to laugh even we are going through a lot. Laughter is the best medicine according to the bible. Life is so heavy when the person doesn’t know how to smile. In our lives we go through a lot of stress, troubles, and problems we need to know go with life with laughter. But we need to smile and laugh in the right time and right place. People might think that we have mental problems. There was a study that a toddler laughs 400 times a day, but average adult only laugh 15 times a day. It is kind of embarrassing to know because laughter relaxes our muscles, boots our immunity, makes us younger looking and may even prolong our life. So despite what the situation we are in now, we should aim to laugh to help us feel happy. Personally, I used to laugh out loud. It is really a great way to relieve stress. You can clip a story, a headline or a photo that makes you giggle. Humor is the great equalizer. I used to bemoan my clumsiness.

Soften tensed muscles

I am doing a lot of computer work these past few weeks. My time is consumed in front of the computer. I experienced headaches. Today I had one that is pulsating. What I did to ease the pain were: I relaxed and stay away from the computer for a while, drank water and lightly tap my scalp for a few seconds, took slow deep breaths. I felt better. It softened tensed muscles in my head and neck and it built my energy. Then back to work again.
