Organize Your Life And Be In Charge Of Your Destiny
Nov 25th
Being “organized” isn’t just about clearing out the clutter in your closet. It’s about everyday life.
Being organized is a life style. It’s a life “choice”.
People can walk through life aimlessly. Going from one crisis to another with no plan. Or they can have a “life plan” and know what they want and how they are going to get there. Don’t get me wrong… it’s not always easy. Even if you have a “plan” the road can be very rocky if not impossible.
But without a plan… a course of action… you will never get there and never achieve your goals.
It’s sort of like building a house. You have to decide what “kind” of house you want to build. What style? What do you want it to look like? How many bedrooms? Where are you going to put the windows and doors? What type of flooring? Who is going to build it? Who is going to do the electrical and the plumbing?
Lots of questions.
And you have to have answers. The house won’t get built without your input and answers.
And after you make the decisions… You have to live with the consequences.
So if you haven’t thought things out carefully you might end up with a window in your closet but no door to get in. Or the kitchen is not big enough for the subzero refrigerator that you wanted.
If you know your end goal and you have a plan for what you need to do to get there you can just check off each step as you go.
But if you skip ahead to the end….without a plan… you might be very disappointed with the end result.
Even with a plan you will need to be flexible and have “alternative” options. Because if you don’t and life throws you a curveball you might get too rattled to continue the game.
Life is a challenge. And sometimes you will need to ask directions.
Be prepared. Have a map. And a compass.
You never know when you’ll learn something new.
Stress – Know What Distress and Eustress Are
Nov 9th
What is stress?
Stress is already a part of our daily living. Since the beginning the early history, it has been experienced by every human. Maybe the levels changed as time goes by but no one escape from it. Before, the concerns of early people are revolving on how to secure food and how to maintain the needs of their family or how to keep safe from the dangerous animals. While today, our main concern is on how to cope up with fast tracks of life. We are always thinking how to beat our competition, how to excel in the eyes of our annoying employer and how to give better life for our family. Nevertheless, these situations are all stressful.
Know the two forms of stress
Distress – this is the common one and it is the constant feeling of being plagued, demoralized, and behind in our schedules and tasks. It is the persistent sense of being overwhelmed by so many things to do but there is no time for relief or relaxation.
Eustress – this is the other form of stress that is actually healthy and beneficial. This kind of stress allows us to keep with the challenges of everyday life and makes it meaningful, it also counterbalance boredom. Eustress can cause the adrenalin rush to use and to lend the essential energy for highest productivity. This feeling are being associated to situation such as being “charged” as you organized in advance a long term paper before its due date or the sensation you experience when you anticipated something wonderful
