How to Reduce Stress: Stop Multitasking

Are you stressed? Why? That is a simple question you need to answer when you just feel the burden within yourself everyday. In order to live healthy, we need to find ways on how to deal and cope with stress. Sometimes, we are not aware that when we are drowned with so much plans and thoughts it can give us stress.

What happened when we are stress? I mean what is the first thing you feel when you are stress? Headache right? And you cannot just think well. If you are working like me, we are prone to stress because of our hectic schedules, we are always thinking of our unfinished paper works, and even we brought that burden at home, to the extent, we would have several sleepless nights. See, stress can have a domino effect to our health. And since we need to stay healthy all the time, we must find ways on how manage and control stress from beating us down.

For working people like us, the first thing we must do is stop multitasking. Sometimes this method is not applicable all the time, or if you just needed to perform one or more things at the same time, try to lessen it at least. That can really exhaust you, give you headache, give you unfinished works and can give you a serious stress in the end of each day at your desk. That happened to me and believe me, it gave me trouble.

Why not make a nice schedule that is well organized? When we need to finish this and that, we must list them down according to their priority and if task A, B, C are urgent assignments to accomplish within a day, please examine which of them is the easier thing to do, maybe we can apply the trick we do while we were taking our exams in school, answer the easiest ones. Before getting drained with the difficult task, finish the easier ones... and you might have a lot of time concentrating with the difficult task within the rest of your day at work. With that, you did not give your mind pressure, often times, disorganization of your task will give you stress, nothing less.

Guide Your Child in Using Social Networks Like Facebook

I found this topic an important matter to tackle about. Most of us have facebook accounts, right? This have been the giant among social networks so most of us are tempted to register and communicate with the people we knew online, connecting to our long lost friends.

But facebook has changed a lot... I won't exactly point that facebook allow users of bad motives like posting nude pictures and pornographic videos, but I am pointing these issues to users who intentionally created an account at fb for sharing such malicious materials over the vast ground of this very known social network with millions and millions of eyes glimpsing everyday at their homes and offices.

I won't really bother if all facebook users are old enough to understand such materials, we can manage of course, but how about those children below 13 years old? This virtual community is used as pornographic medium already, and that is really a bad news to parents whose children are also addicted to facebook.

How can you protect your child online? How can you protect your child from being influenced by such malicious content that can be seen as new stories everyday at their facebook walls?

Privacy has been an issue long before, yes you can set your account as private, but how can your protect yourself from receiving those contents? How can facebook strictly banned children under 13 years old from registering a new account? Or is this a serious task for parents to protect their children from being brainwashed by social networks uncensored contents? It is a big Yes!

Look around you, you must be aware of the possibilities you might regret in the end... the use of facebook is not bad if it's appropriate, it's not a pornographic site after all, but some are missing the point why they registered for an account there... so protect your child and think of their safety.

How to Face Problems - Regain Your Logical Thinking

As I read you comments from my post Our Innate Power to Relieve Stress, I am really happy with your reactions. I knew it's effective. Whats good in it is that I have been so exhausted performing my job yet I able to see the way out to appreciate life.

While we are here breathing, we really got no choice but to face what lies ahead, or if we choose not to struggle yet idling will give us nothing. So to be fruitful, we should do the things that worth our time and find the escape to those hindrances and barriers along the way.

Sometimes, when we face problems, headache will be knocking our head hard... but in times that there would be no giving up, we should find the nearest station to unload the burden, to refresh ourselves to gain the sanity and the logical thinking we need in order to reach the finish line.

What usually happens is that we lost our logical thinking and behavior when inevitable hindrances will say hello and totally block our way. If the road is too narrow, and a deadly cliff is a few steps beside where we are standing with trembling knees, we cannot go back but continue walking. We need to regain our logical mind to continue.

What I telling you right now is do not let yourselves be defeated by trials, it would only happen when you give up! Never do that, never say you can't do it any longer! Get yourself organized once more... when you are surrounded with shuttered pieces of negativity, what you need to do is cleaned them out from your way.

Think logically, think smartly... we are humans and its innate within us. Make your move step by step this time, empty your minds with "if's". Go upstairs step by step, do not haste or you will fall down...

Make you moves simple but sure... then you will see a more productive output. We just need to keep on thinking, not for the negative things... if we do that we will loose our power to think logically. This is how to face problems, regain the power and start with mind full of alternatives!

(Hello SB Community its been a long time already that haven't talked to you, but right now, your interest in reading my insightful posts about life keep me going... in that light SB will remain to be the one when you first heard about it. Self Blooming and Simplified Blogging will be one! For now, you can check out an under construction blog that is more focus about blogging, social media and news here -♥- tellright-♥-)

Our Innate Power to Relieve Stress: From Life to Blogging

Close your eyes. Smile and take a deep breath for several times. Imagine you are in a middle of the ocean sitting on a white sand at the small vanishing island, where all around you is placid and silent. Where positive energy is charging you again and eating up your stress...

Where is the fountain and source of a genuine blogging? If you created your blog because of an interest worth sharing everyday to your readers, then you gotta go and impart the best in you to all of us.

But how if stress will eat you? When after the end of a tiring day you only got some nice headache, you don't have to wait for it to melt your completely like cubes of eyes over the heat of the sun.

Blogging, writing our post, is just like our life offline, it is just like how we handle our life in times of trouble, in times of distress. Who believes that there is always a way out?

I believe in myself that I have the innate power to fight stress. The Stock Inventory was done and I passed it just today, despite of the tough situation I told myself I won't go home unless I got it finalized before Monday, I did! I was exhausted already, but I able to get the power within me to just finish it in time! Life is about a race against time, but if we can handle our moves, our actions, our decisions, then nothing will get unbearable. If we got the desire to find that hidden power to cope up with tough situations in our life, then we can easily move on before breaking our heads.

Tonight, I miss writing for two days that I was not able to get here. But how if I don't have anything to scribble down? Well, that is not true! How come I miss blogging without something in my mind? But something might be blocking the stream for the fountain not to flow... stress!

Life is always facing stress, but as I always told you there is a power within us to relieve stress at work, to relieve stress while you got a blank head in front of your pc!

Close your eyes. Smile and take a deep breath for several times. Imagine you are in a middle of the ocean sitting on a white sand at the small vanishing island, where all around you is placid and silent. Where positive energy is charging you again and eating up your stress! You just think of something better that will keep that smile in you.

Now, open your eyes and do you unfinished work. Now, open you eyes and write something for you and your readers. That's what I am doing and I able to write this one from an empty head...

How to Become Organized Is Like Blog Tricks to Learn About

Now I am taking a break with keywords, and I am digesting your replies at my last blog post ~ here♥. Can you try to guess what I am thinking?

Anyway, I am just wondering if I can share and write various blog tips that I learned here without leaving the insightful way of writing that I used to do recently. In other words, the how to blog ideas plus the insights about life right here at SB! I am still on the way to become an optimist and for the past few days I have applied that well.

It would be a good experiment, what do you think? I mostly do some experiments even at work, and most of the results turned to be working well!

Perhaps I can organize things here like what I did when I am racing my deadline on Monday at work. I have to do an annual report on purchases plus an urgent stock inventory! Since one of my most important files was totally corrupted, I did a lot of hard work just to pass these important reports on Monday! Well, I am always positive, that way I able to finish one of them, tomorrow would be another race against time!

What I did is just organized things... but how to become organized is a kind of blog tricks and tips to learn about. Sometimes you cannot blame me if I would insist that the word blogging and the word life is closely intertwined!

When there is html, javascript and all related things that made you wonder how website stand pretty in your browsers, at work, I also got a powerful excel that sort all the things I needed plus a positive attitude I actually nurtured through blogging! Is that another good news?

With that, I just wonder if it's possible for me to do these things at one place, that means here at SB without confusing you at all! Well, if there is a will, there is a way for sure! Let's find that out in the coming days, if I can organize things like that, then that's a bonus to blogging!

Anyway, how about the word Self Blooming? I thought about that just couple of months before, but I cannot just change Simplified Blogging to Self Blooming, because of that I got plan B! It's simple, when I cannot able to organize things this way then I will present to you my insightful way of telling things about life at Self Blooming!

See you guys ♥♥♥

What Awaits Us In The Year of The Water Dragon?

According to the International Business Times, Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and it is regarded as the Divine Beast of the Chinese Tradition.

Well today we are going to talk about the good fortune that awaits us for this fresh year of 2012. Are we going to really be lucky? Who knows the answer?

Are we going to listen and believe to the Feng Shui Master? Are they really giving us the compass of our life, the direction we must follow to get a better life in the end?

Who among you believe that Feng Shui are quiet rational done being just a simple superstition?

But who among you understand the true meaning of Feng Shui? I myself is still a stranger to it, but tonight we will see how Feng Sui can affects our life.

Feng Shui is all about the way that we live in harmonize with the nature, benefiting from the ‘positive’ energies in our living environment. By enhancing the relationship between people and their environment we find that the correct combination will create an ability to absorb the ‘Ch’i’ or cosmic energy. ~ www.fengshuichinese.com

It is clear that is no magic. It has nothing to do with us if we are not going to work out our best. What I love about this, it's not just about ourselves as inhabitants of this earth alone, it's about us being part of this earth.

It's absorbing positive energies, as such negative vibes would be just nowhere to capture us. If we are fueled with positive energies, stressful moments are not big deals to stumble us down when they are like storm hitting us to the ground.

What is cosmic Energy? Why it is important to us? (spiritual-reality.com)

1. Cosmic is energy is the life force.
2. This Cosmic Energy is essential to maintain the order of our life and to expand our Consciousness.
3. Cosmic Energy is the base for all our actions and functions.

Being part of the environment helps us receive this energy, of course this could not be absorbed through joining hang-outs with your friends. Most of the times, when people are down, they go to party. They drink, they dance, they have intimate moments with the people they think can solve their problem, for me it's not. It's not the solution to refuel oneself.

Sleep can relaxed us, it can refuel us for the next day, that's why people need sleep, we cannot just live without letting our unconsciousness conquer us. But it's not about the word unconsciousness alone, but we need to empty our mind at least. We cannot absorb such positive energies if our mind is occupied with the things that trouble us.

Total silence, while doing this we are able to muse and reflect. while doing this, we are able to just let go of the bad and accommodates the good things inside us. And it can perfectly done somewhere where the temptation of the noises of the technology of man is nowhere.

No, I am not the expert here, the expert are the people who can apply and live with this.

The bottom line is: The Year of the Water Dragon is a big Chance for us to receive the Positive or the Cosmic Energy. Miracle won't happen. If we can live harmoniously, if we can have the perfect or at least a proper balance with our life, success awaits us with less doubt.

Important Alert - Threaded Comment Problem and Issues!

I guess it's been a blessing in disguise that the threaded comment, a new feature of Blogger commenting system won't work at SB for the time being. Why? It's because as per observation, it's not working as fine as we expect it to work with our blogs. Today I will basically site my experiences so far.

Not all, but most of your blogs which have this threaded commenting style were:

1. Jumping me to your comment form! When you have the read more option, when I click read more or your post title it will supposedly bring me to your post, but this time, I have to scroll the page again back there because threaded comment give me the hassle shortcut.

2. The worst for me here, when you set your blog to show the full post, not the read more style, when I click the link of your add comments, do you know what happened? It takes me to forever loading! Blank page, your blog loads a lot slower...

I may sound so absurd but this is the truth right here at the Firefox I am using. Not all of us got the time to wait, LOL. Anyway, I want to know your experiences so far... if you did the same, please try to consider using the full page or pop comments for the main time. I know Blogger Team will give us the fix soon!

And I guess that time, when I will put the code for threaded comment here at SB, it will work already.

(As for my lost and corrupted files, most of them are there safe in my new PC, two important excel workbooks are still corrupted, I have them already but it can't be opened or else it gave me the unreadable values. Soon, I am still hopeful someone can help me fix them, but for now, life is back to normal.)

How Did I Recover Almost All My Lost Files Free?

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

My sincere apology to our dear readers and friends, my sincere apology to the entire SB Community. Lately, I told you that I was having a technical problem here with my work, and I need some time to solve it before it'll become worse. Now good news as I am about to solve it completely. In this post I will share to you my entire experience, the fear that I have and the big hope that I can get back all the important files that I lost.

The documents that were corrupted or accidentally deleted on the hard drive of my computer were priceless. They hold the value of the company. It's life. I was on a rush last Saturday, after the technician installed a new program on my new CPU, I took the time collecting all my files at one folder in local desk D. I had my 4gb USB ready for file transfer, but what happened was totally unexpected, files were gone both in both mentioned devices. Maybe it was a harmful virus, but we got no time to go on with it because it's already too late.

For a moment, I was about to panic but I kept still on my table not to let everyone know about the incident. As I told Sui, it was the live test he mentioned on my recent post (I used he to specify an unknown gender LOL). Thanks to all my friends who have shown support and encouragement, I really appreciate your concern to me. I was worried, but the hope that I can still fix everything is abundant to keep me up and sane! I spend most of my Sunday searching for methods and ways on how to recover the lost and corrupted files! Now I got them back except for some. Today I am still trying to repair my latest excel spreadsheets which need to be repaired...

AND ONE THING, I won't recover my files without the help of Pandora Recovery! I stumbled upon that very helpful file recovery software without me or the company spend a single dime! It's totally free. It may not be 100% working, but it did recover almost all my deleted or lost files during my lunch break! How amazing is that guys?

Again thank you to all my friends here who shared some prayer and concern, thank you for my Big Sister Sagi who always encourage me, and most specially to my beloved B who always lift me up!

For those blogs I follow, I am not too far away blogger friends, I will be at your blogs soon!
