TAKE A BREAK

Hello Folks!

In our day to day schedules, have you ever yearned of taking a day off?/taking a break. And then thinking about the chores to do simply have dropped the idea. Well, here I am today to discuss with you a few tips on having both the pleasures of work and fun.

Firstly, you need to understand that work and taking a break can both work side by side. You must be wondering, How is that possible? Well, nothing is impossible if you ask me. It’s all about time management.

Think about the daily hours you have in a day. Make a list of things that you do on that particular day. Now, start allocating time for each task. You will be surprised to see how much spare time you have in a day.

Secondly, allocate an ample amount of time for the things you love to do. Make it a habit to follow it consistently. When you keep on doing the thing, it will become a habit.

Thirdly, you can take a break by engaging yourself in some form of meditation. It will not only improve your concentration levels but will also give you utter satisfaction.

Fourthly, working and sitting all day long will turn most of us into potatoes and if you are a fitness freak, you won’t want people to call you a potato once normal situation prevails outside. So time to get up and do some walking.

Fifthly, Health is wealth. Besides, walking,  a healthy diet too will prevent you from gaining extra weight and develop unknown diseases. Take a break and go to the kitchen and make some interesting yet healthy food.

Sixth, after working for a couple of hours, you can distract yourself by picking up your phone and chatting a little with your friends, family, and people who are your well-wishers. However, you should have the time in front of you so you don’t overdo it.

Seventh, while working, you can do certain stretches while sitting in your work chair or bed or any other place of comfort. Just 5 to 10-minute stretches will do the trick.

Eighth, sometimes it’s better to change your position. You can stand up and do your work. It will save you from a lot of backache problems in the future.

Ninth, whenever you have time, take a power nap. It always helps. Or you can take out some puzzles or crosswords or mind teasers. You will feel like a new being altogether.

Lastly, take out some time and enjoy nature. The hustling sound of the trees, the whispering of the wind, the melodious chirping of the birds, and the changing skies are all forms that positively elevate the mood.

In the end, I would like to say that sometimes it’s best not to do anything at all or doing everything but in small quantities without damaging oneself.

To be happy in life, live in the present without worrying about the future. Accept and be grateful for what you have. And think about those whose lives you are affecting through the contribution you are making either consciously or unconsciously.

Think about it. Life is too short to be unhappy. Spread smiles along the way and be a beacon of communication to all.

Until next time, stay safe and healthy.

Happy Reading!

 LISTENING IS BETTER THAN SPEAKING

It was a cold winter morning like any other winter mornings. I sat off to my morning walk in a nearby park. After having done one cycle of walk, I saw a young boy of 12 or so years standing by the side, wearing no cardigan or the sort that could keep him warm in that chilly winter. I asked him to join me in my walk so he might get a little warmer. So he did.

Just as we started walking, he started telling me things which were at the top of his mind. One of the foremost was earning a livelihood. He kept on talking on different topics. And all this time, I listened to him. People walking, jogging in the park would turn around to see who was talking. I let him do most of the talking except where my speaking was necessary.

We had a good walk of 30 to 40 minutes. He was warm enough. I knew what he was there for and that’s what I gave him. He needed someone he could talk to without judging him or looking into his life making him miserable than he already was. This continued for a couple of months. Every day, he would share something new and I would listen to him and he would end his walk with Thanks.

After sometime, I met him in the park again. This time, he was dressed according to the weather and was very happy. He thanked me and told me that he took my advice of educating himself along with learning and mastering a skill he was good at.

He used to play football in the same park, I used to walk in. His hard work, did bring him laurels. He was selected in the local football team and with his hard work he will surely, one day make it to the International team. I was very happy for him.

Sometimes, it is better just to listen to what people have to say rather than imposing one thoughts  onto them. We do not have the answer to everything .All we can do, in our capacity is to make them feel comfortable so they can share a fragment of their lives with you. And you in return by just listening to them can make a change.

We as human beings are bestowed with a great many gifts and capabilities yet we are unaware of them. If we could just try to focus on the now instead of giving our self away to the future, we can all make a change in small or big way. Our small gesture of consideration might be a big change in the eyes or life of the other.  One never knows..

In the end, I would like to say that our now can become our future if we stay on the right course and be pretentious free. Sometimes, people and things just come out of the blue. Have an open heart and mind to receive them and do not forget to listen to them. And if you are not comfortable with ones thoughts try staying away.

Happy Reading.
