Fight Stress With Leisure

In the growing pace or modern life, most of us either do not have time or do not understand the meaning and importance of leisure. We are always running against time. Routine jobs and errands leave us with no time for any activity that gives us pleasure. Leisure is a luxury which was enjoyed by the erstwhile rich folk of yesteryears.

The pace of life has significantly increased in recent years, causing a new kind of strain on many of us, whose work involves heavy responsibility, tight deadlines, long hours, complex work or decision-making. In order to combat these draining effects on life, one has to make time to pursue positive leisure activities. Most people in executive positions thrive on the stimulus of pressure, but beyond a certain level, pressure can become a cause for concern. the long hours or work can become a burden and the level of fatigue goes up. To offset the ill-effects of these phenomenon one has to find time for enjoyment.

push themselves to the limit and over the brink.

Animal and Human Grooming Habits

It has long been noted that grooming is far from simply a necessary practice to maintain health and hygiene, instead being an instinctive activity carried out across the human race and animal kingdom from the very dawn of time.

Social grooming is something that transcends the barrier between human beings and other species, displayed across millions of other animal groups each and every day.

Such grooming is known to build and strengthen bonds, form social structures, maintain family ties and begin new relationships. Some animal species are also known to use grooming as a method for the resolution of conflicts and the spur reconciliation, which is also an extremely common trait in humans.

Fair One Apricot Face Wash Scrub Review

I haven't come across rave reviews of Shahnaz Husain's products, but nevertheless I purchased this Apricot face wash scrub. I'd say that the name 'face wash scrub', rather spurred me to give it a try. After all, if a face wash costing just 45 bucks can work as a scrub too, it's good value for money, the cheapskate in me thought. Now whether my assessment was right or wrong, you can only find out by reading further ...

Get rid of that worrying problem

Why do we worry? The obvious answer is that we have problems that worry us. so, we worry. But the obvious answer is not always right.

Some women are hardwired for worry. Take for example my friend Savita. She not only is a "wonderful cook" but a "wonderful worrier" too. The joke is that she worries about such silly things. When giving me a recipe, the ingredients and method were all mixed up with worried comments about her son's Maths test marks, her brother-in-law's drinking problem, whether another tsunami would strike soon, whether she had left the electric iron on at home or maybe the gas is leaking... and so on.

I questioned her rather bluntly for her abnormal anxiety and it turned out that she was really worried that she might have cancer. The other worries were her way of avoiding the need to face the real, big one.

Worrying has many psychological and physical effects. Try to work out your problems by thinking objectively.

Of money and style

When you don't have money, you try and console yourself by saying that money is filthy, it's the root cause of all evil and that it does not buy any happiness. 

You desperately want to believe that the rich are not happy but in the heart of your hearts, you know that money matters. Believe me,  it does. 

Agreed, the rich need not necessarily be a contented lot, but one thing is true, they do not have to bother about money and with a little planning, neither do you. 

So stop being like that fox who claimed that the grapes were sour just because he couldn't reach them. Find ways to improve your financial condition. 

Think law of attraction. Do not condemn money; you cannot attract what you criticize. Always say...
