Communication mistakes that can ruin your relationships
Contempt

If you are name calling, insulting, mocking or ridiculing your partner, you are verbally abusing him/her and showing contempt. Stop it now. Being mean and rude to your partner is disrespectful and extremely harmful.
He/She doesn't deserve it, and neither do you. Even if you are "just joking", it is hostile humor and should be avoided at all costs. Always treat your partner with respect. Be kind, considerate, and loving.

Simple ways to manage stress and anxiety
Early evening
Letting go of tension
(2 minutes)

Our bodies collect physical tension throughout the day, which in turn increases anxiety and becomes its own source of stress. Practice releasing tension a few times throughout the day. It may be especially beneficial to relax during transitions, like when coming home for the day before you greet your family.
In this exercise, you relax your muscles by first tensing them. Though it may seem counterintuitive, this tension-relaxation cycle can be more effective than simply trying to relax your muscles.
😀Sit in a quiet place with your eyes closed. Take three calming breaths, exhaling for a count of five.
😀Squeeze your hands into fists, hold for a moment, then completely let go of the tension in your hands. Take three more calming breaths.
😀Now shrug your shoulders up toward your ears, creating tension, and then let your shoulders relax. End with three more slow breaths. Notice how you feel now.
If you carry tension in other muscles, feel free to adapt this exercise for those areas.

Reasons why you should look into blogging:
Owning the content

Social media is constantly changing.
Apps aren't going to be around forever, and many have already closed their doors, e.g., Vine.
Having a blog allows you to own your content and share it across all social media channels.
You have freedom of speech, and you can say and share whatever you want on your blog.

Being in the Present Moment Guide
Getting into Nature

Taking a walk in the park, in the woods, sitting by a stream, and gardening are simple ways to take a break from daily life. If you can’t manage this during the week, manage it on the weekend. Being immersed in nature allows you to break the cycle of constantly thinking and interacting and allows you to enter into the flow of the natural world.

Being in nature is a handy reminder that life is cyclic, that things are constantly in flux and ever-changing. Everything comes into being, lives a life, and dies. We need to understand that this applies to the events of our life, as well as our thoughts and feelings.

Pursuing your action plans

Understanding what you want to do makes the benefits of taking steps easier for you to see. Even if the tasks at hand are not enjoyable, seeing the benefit of pursuing them will make it easier to motivate yourself to take the actions necessary to achieve your goals. There is a lot of truth in the saying, there is a way when there's a will.

You always find a way to develop the will needed when you are committed to personal development. The definition of achievement and the dream of what's going to look like is where you find the motivation to keep going.

Scientific-backed tips on working efficiently from home:
Set limits

Do what you can, particularly if you have kids at home, to physically separate your workspace from your living room.

Only the slightest diversion will kill your productivity.

An interruption of three seconds will double the amount of errors you create in your work as your focus gets drawn away to something else.

Don't have children?

Then isolate yourself from your phone, that other great dependent.

The mere presence of the phone of the worker sufficed to distract him and lead to lower productivity.

But occasionally stepping away from tasks is a good idea.

Move away from the screen but keep your pad and ink.

Long-hand writing enhances creativity and problem solving, while journaling is said to be an effective way to extend your span of attention.

Try to be one level higher and don’t be scared of appearing silly.
Your positive energy won’t go unnoticed.
People will eagerly join in and tag along.

Affective or Emotional Empathy
If we see someone hit their thumb with a hammer, we wince and cringe as if we experienced the pain, too. If we see someone crying at the loss of a loved one, we feel the weight in our chest, too. A process of emotional contagion allows their emotions to influence our own.
This form of empathy is referred to as affective or emotional empathy. We mirror the emotions of another.

Stop allowing others to determine your worth

Negative words and criticism of others can have an immense impact on your wellbeing. They will kill your self-confidence, and make you sad. This will influence how you view all future projects when you move on after experiencing negative stuff. You risk feeling rejection again and this causes a destructive cycle in your life.

You will never make everybody happy. We also have different tastes, and different aspirations. What you are, and what you do, might be offending others even though the last thing on your mind is to do so. You can not afford to keep altering the actions to avoid offence. If you don't want to be influenced by the views of others it takes a clear understanding of your worth.

If someone fires you or chooses to no longer be friends with you, it doesn't diminish your self-worth. When you boss gets down on you hard at work it doesn't improve. Your connection status does not determine that. Your ego can be slightly damaged when you face these circumstances but it does not affect your core being. People can try to point you out or judge you, but you should know better. It takes strength and courage to stand firm when people don't believe in you.

Taking on feedback and improving yourself is part of the process, but you must be discerning on what you consider. Don't dwell about things about yourself that you can't change, like your birth conditions or your genetic inheritance. Certain things are more significant, such as your attitude, what actions you take and the opportunities that are before you. Focus on what you can change, and don't think about anything you can't change.'

Benefits of a personal spending plan
Recognizing how economics should be influencing your spending
If auto fuel goes up $1.00/gallon, you can quickly recalculate your fixed costs and determine how much discretionary income has taken a hit.
Conversely, if fuel goes down, you’ll have a little extra that you can spend or save that month.

Signs you’re drinking too much coffee:
Anxiety

Caffeine is well-known for rising alertness.
It functions by blocking the adenosine influence, a brain chemical that makes you feel tired.
At the same time, it activates adrenaline release, the "fight-or - flight" hormone that is associated with increased strength.
These effects can however become more pronounced at higher doses, leading to anxiety and nervousness.
