Stress, Balance and Change Solutions

Stress, balance and change solutions - a "back to basics" discussion to use for yourself, your family, your work environment.

1. EAT - Do I sound like your mother? We need to keep our body working. You would not allow your car to fall apart, why would you ignore your body? This is the temple that holds all the equipment to solve every event you face.

Just as you wouldn't put sugar in the gas tank of your car and expect it to run effectively (if at all), you need to be conscious of what you put in your body. Sugar, caffeine, alcohol are not going to assist your body engine - nor will it decrease stress. There is wisdom in following the nutritional guidelines we all learned in high school health class.

2. EXERCISE - The best way to burn off the chemicals our body creates in reaction to stress is through exercise. Sitting in front of the TV will not do this. The greatest gift to yourself to decrease stress and anxiety and increase sleep and relaxation is exercise. Go for a walk at lunch time or with your family after work.

3. AVOID STRESSORS - I think we have all been glued to the TV hoping that some magic answer will occur and this will all go away. The constant reminder of the uncertainty will only create more stress. Be informed but don't be obsessed.

Instead, what are the things you enjoyed doing before the stress occurred. Go back to your garden, to reading, to the mall -- whatever, brought you pleasure before. If a magic answer occurs to the current situation, trust me, you will not be left out.

4. ONE DAY AT A TIME -- Focus on the present, the future will take care of itself. When stress increases, focus on what you can do NOW! Worry will only make the present worse AND the future is never helped with the worry.

5. KEEP A ROUTINE - Go back to the routine you have always had. Eat, sleep, work, play -- keep a schedule. When we can't control the world, we can control our choices and the life we keep.

Re: Sources of Cash - Thanks for the help. The items will be recorded in the Balance Sheet. But why does the Balance Sheet always balances. Is there a specific reason
Re: Website Name Help - Its good that you have come up with the idea of setting up a website for your business. Now As it is into Business Solutions, I would recommend that you also include this into the name of the website. This will help you getting better results as far as SEO is concerned. You can start building a brand with this name. As you have already got the name booked, you can try changing it to something on the lines of Business Solutions as in azimabusiness or azimabusinesssolutions. Its a long name but still is good from the SEO point.
Help me name my moms business - I think Infinity Cleaning Services sounds better than Elite Cleaning Solutions... Why the Solutions? What is there to be solved? You simply get a rag with some Windex on it and wipe away.... plug the vacuum and Vac Away, get a mop and mop away. Stick to Infinity Cleaning Services... ICS sounds cool...
Re: Sources of Cash - Thank you for guidance and direction. Is there a simpler way of understanding the Balance Sheet and all the components that are to be recorded.
Re: Infographic: The 4 Main Stress Factors - I'd like to reference that article in my next blog post as well.. I worked in sales for years and found that days when I was positive, relaxed where days that it was easy to sell. On days that I was stressed I found I would not reach target. Stress is good at times, but it very easily becomes problematic. I do a lot of very physical exercise and work now, to manage it.
