“In a poor economy, companies should take care of the people who survive layoffs and end up staying in stressful jobs,” says epidemiologist Diana Fernandez. “It is important to focus on strengthening wellness programs to provide good nutrition, ways to deal with job demands, and more opportunities for physical activity that are built into the regular workday without penalty.”

An article from Jonathan Benjem which outlines the basics of chakras
Chakras are the foci within our bodies where the energy which makes up our life force is generated. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel; a good representation of the spherical energy field the word refers to.
There are six Chakras which are located along the spine and a seventh one above these, removed from the physical element of your body.
We think of these Chakras as being composed of energy; but it is very important to realize that the Chakras are closely related to and have influence over your physical body.
A healthy alignment of all of the seven Chakras will allow you to maintain your own health and happiness during your life. It is important to understand what each of the chakras is, and what it does for you.
Too much stress can really affect all the aspects in us. Physically, when we get too much worked up in the office, we can feel like we have been electrified by a mini stun gun. Almost all parts of the body feel so tired and painful. Emotionally, we become really preoccupied with things that we want to cry and we become easily irritated. Our mental capacities are affected too because when we don't know how to manage stress, we have difficulty in making decisions.
These are just general and few of the things that can happen to us when we become exhausted. Stress is normally part of life. It is inevitable. The best thing that you can do is that you must know how to manage the pressure well. Stress management is important in order for you to handle and control situations. You must come up with different strategies that will help you resolve your exhaustion may it be at home, in the office or anywhere.
One very good strategy is to have a break and perform deep breathing exercises. This will give you ample time to think and relax. Through deep breathing exercises you can release the emotions that you feel inside. While doing this, tell yourself a million times that you can do it. When you have time, you can join yoga classes and other relaxing activities. Give yourself motivation and positive attitude so that you can do your work fine.
Aside from doing exercises, you organize your things in your working area. There are times when we become irritated immediately due to the pressure from deadlines. We become even more irritated when our table is very messy and we don't know where to find what we are looking for. How can you manage yourself if you can't manage your things? You must have certain boxes or containers for your files so that you can have access to them easily. Just like a TASER holster, it is widely used to keep the weapon in place just where you want it to be.
Moreover, you must reward yourself with a day off from work. You can choose from a wide variety of recreational activities that you can venture. If you want to play a sport then go for it. If you need to relax in massage centers or saunas then pamper yourself so that you will be energized. Watch a movie or hang out with family and friends. Give your body a break and let it loose for a little while. Do not hesitate to try new things
These are basic strategies which are very effective which you can use when you get all worked up and exhausted. Your body is not a super machine which can handle days of work. Even a machine needs some power to energize, how much more a human body which needs to rejuvenate the cells in order to work again. Give yourself a moment where you can relax and free your mind from an unorganized workplace.

Have you asked yourself how much your health is worth to you lately?
Is your health even something that you think about on a daily basis?
Are taking the most effective, purposeful actions to ensure that you achieve optimal health?
If you answered no to any one of these questions, I urge you to stop what you are doing for just a moment and listen to what I have to say as it may add year onto your life or perhaps even save it.
Chi is the life-force energy. Awakening your chi allows your mind, body, and spirit to all be connected instead of operating in fragmented parts.
Practicing chi allows you to leave chronic illnesses behind, it allows you to go from an external-centered life to an internal-centered life. Chi must flow freely and openly within you.
Today I'm excited to announce the release of Study Chi by Master Hypnotist Steve G. Jones.
--> bit.ly/5Q4MkN
You'll discover how to:
* Awaken your life force energy
* Heal your body, mind, and soul with chi
* Learn to balance your thoughts and emotions
* Powerful exercises to boost energy
* Access your karma
You'll receive 4 audio modules that take you from A to Z in Chi. And to ensure your success even further, I am going include a powerful hypnosis recording. You'll go from a novice to expert.
Here's why you must order today - Steve has priced this powerful system at what I consider to be a very generous and fair price... and in fact..it is only a market test. He will also be testing higher prices for this program.
Here's something you must realize - He reserves the right to jack up the price...probably by $20 minimum...at any time without notice. That could happen tomorrow, next week, or later today.
So, if you see that the investment is still just $19.95, consider yourself lucky and hurry and order right now.
If you don't order, you'll end up paying more later and kick yourself for not acting now. Please don't tell me I didn't warn you! So just take advantage of this offer today and get the "steal of a lifetime" by ordering today. Do it now.
Go NOW before Steve changes his mind 🙂

Mindful walking can help you take giant steps towards greater emotional awareness. It can enhance your personal problem solving ability, boost creativity, ease tension and help you build better connections with family and friends. And since walking (like vitamins and your nutritional intake) has its own daily recommended guidelines (10,000 steps per day - that's about 5 miles total), why not reap even more mind/body/spirit benefits while burning up calories and keeping your health in check? You can do it simply by taking those steps mindfully!
From Cheryl Koch
In early February, many of us heard about the results of new research on the effects of low-fat dieting.
Why was this information so widely publicized?
Because the 8-year study showed some unexpected results. For more than a decade doctors, dietitians, and others have been promoting the benefits of a low-fat diet to control disease and assist with weight control. The study of almost 50,000 postmenopausal women found that restricting dietary fats may not have the benefits we once thought.
Why was I only mildly surprised?!!!
Researchers say a wandering mind may be important to setting goals, making discoveries, and living a balanced life.

I am going to do my best to hold your attention until the very last word of this column. Actually, I know it’s futile. Along the way, your mind will wander off, then return, then drift away again. But I can console myself with some recent research on the subject of mind wandering. Mind wandering is not necessarily the sign of a boring column. It’s just one of the things that make us human.
Everybody knows what it is like for our minds to wander, and yet, for a long time psychologists shied away from examining the experience. It seemed too elusive and subjective to study scientifically. Only in the past decade have they even measured just how common mind wandering is. The answer is very. >>>
Imagine how much happier and more confident you’d be if you could train your body to function more efficiently and to look better in the process. With The Body You Deserve, you’ll get the expert guidance you need to take the struggle out of weight loss and finally create—and maintain—the lean, healthy physique you desire and deserve.
