Stress and Health: How to Get your Way Around – Healthy Lifestyle

July 29th, 2011 Vegoia

Stress is everywhere these days. More and more people die every year from diseases due to stress such as depression.

If you think you are a stressed person, we recommend you read this article carefully

First, dealing with stress is all about taking charge and responsibility for everything that happens in your life.

In many cases, stressed people don’t feel like they have the control over their professional or personal life. They see themselves as victims of their situations and circumstances.

The first step is to identify the source of stress in your life, the true one!

You can’t be as generic as “my job”. What is it in your job that stresses you? The attitude of your boss? Your e-mail inbox? It can be everything, just take the time to identify what it is. It’s the most crucial step in getting out of this living hell.

Next, do you blame other for you stress level? Do you feel like a victim?
Well, I’ve got news for you! You are the one who is responsible for your stress. Whether it is the way you see things or the things you decide what you do, it is your fault. That might be cruel to be told, but until you’ve accepted that, there’s nothing you can do about your stress.

Start a stress journal

A stress journal will help you identify what stresses you on a regular basis.

Write down:

  • What are the causes of you stress today
  • How you feel about it
  • What you did to fix the situation and make you feel better

Now, it’s time to act upon what you’ve learned.

Sadly, there isn’t one magical recipe because everyone has a unique response to stress. But, be sure that if you see that your way of fixing the situation causes you health, professional, or personal problem, it might be time to reconsider your habits.

Here are 6 easy ways of managing stress

  1. Avoid it: Some stressors can be avoided. Learn to say “no” to them. Distinguish “musts” from “should”
  2. Alter it: There must be something you can change so the situation won’t present itself again. Be willing to make compromise, especially with people.
  3. Adapt to it: Try to see things with a more positive point of view. Find alternatives in your behaviour. Look at the big picture: how does the stressor fit into the whole and how do you fit into the whole?
  4. Accept: There will be things you won’t be able to change. Don’t try to control uncontrollable. Focus on what you can control. Try to look at the upside. Does this situation bring you something? Tell other people about what you feel and learn to forgive the world for its imperfections
  5. Make time for fun! : You need balance in your life. Make time for leisure and activities with friends and your family. Actually, it would be a good idea to schedule your leisure time so you won’t feel guilty about relaxing.
  6. Keep a healthy lifestyle: Exercise, eat a healthy diet, reduce caffeine and sugar, avoid alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, and get enough sleep.

In conclusion, remember that you chose everything in your life and that you can do something to change what you don’t like. If you can’t change it, alter it, adapt to it, or simply accept it. It’s all about how you decide to act upon your situation.

And remember to keep a healthy lifestyle!

Cultural Differences and Cool Stuff – Reading Body Language

July 28th, 2011 Vegoia

If you touch the elbow of someone before making a demand, you are three times more likely to get what you want.

If you delicately and subtly touch the hand of someone, you’ll be more liked by this person.

Italians tend to raise their hands while speaking. It means that they want to continue to talk. If you want to interrupt them, gently grab their harm and try to put it down. This is also why some Italians grab your harm while speaking: they don’t want you to try to interrupt them.

Why Repeating Will Increase Your Sells – Marketing Strategies

July 27th, 2011 Vegoia

In the mid 1960’s, a psychologist named Robert Zajonc did the following experiment:

He took Americans and showed them several Chinese characters. Most of the characters were meaningless and were all far from the Chinese standards in calligraphy.

He then asked the Americans to say what they thought about the symbols and, surprisingly, people tended to vote more favourably for certain characters.

These characters, as we mentioned before, had nothing special to them except one little common characteristic…

They have been shown more often in the slideshow.

To see if this applied to other fields, he tried the same system with photos of different people, varying the number of time the image was shown in the slideshow. The participants were then asked to rate, on a scale of 5, how likeable the people shown were.

What do you think happened?

The same phenomenon! People who were shown many times were seen as more likeable and trustworthy.

So what’s the conclusion? The more you get in touch with something, the more you like it, and, above all that, the more you accept it.

So, if you want a certain message to make its way trough, just repeat it!

Here’s to more marketing strategies!

Defining Yourself with Great Principles – Mind Development

July 26th, 2011 Vegoia

In our modern world, most of us are constantly overwhelmed with demands coming from every angle and we do not necessarily have much time to reflect on hard decisions.

Here are 9 great principles we suggest you take in deep consideration.

Comment défragmenter

  1. Challenge certainty: Avoid the “God Complex” where you are the only one who’s right because you’re the only one who perfectly understand the immensely complex system that is our world.
  2. Excellence is hard to acquire: There is no shortcut. The path to excellence requires practice and delayed satisfaction and is characterized by you always challenging your comfort zone.
  3. Emotions are infectious: Feel the way you want others to feel.
  4. Accept your work: When in doubt, ask yourself what’s the best thing you could do, and accept it.
  5. Follow what you love: It might or might not pay off, but who cares? You’ll be happy!
  6. You need less than you think: More is not better. What do you currently have that significantly increases your condition?
  7. Accept your worth: Accept what you do but practice humility; learn.
  8. Meaning doesn’t grow in trees: Meaning comes from expressing your unique skills in a cause bigger than yourself, one step at a time.
  9. Take responsibility: You are accountable for who you are. Be honest with who you are.

Here’s to your mind development!

A Recipe to Influence People, and Get Helped! – Projects Management

July 25th, 2011 Vegoia

The Cohen-Bradford Influence Model is actually a great step-by-step process by which you can get help from anyone, even if you have a poor relationship with them.

The idea here is to use reciprocity: give before you ask. Understand the world in which your target lives, see what you can do to help, and act upon your findings.

This model is useful whenever:

  • You need help from someone over whom you have no authority
  • The other person doesn’t want to help you
  • You don’t have a good relationship with the person
  • You don’t know the person well

Once you’re familiar with the model, you’ll be able to do this subconsciously

  • Find someone who can help you: There must be someone out there who knows the solution to your current problem
  • Understand your goals and priorities: What do you really want? Are there any personal objectives your trying to pursue that might get in the way during your negotiations?
  • Understand the other person’s world: What are his or her primary responsibilities? What does this person’s boss expect? What does seem important to this person? This is all about empathy.
  • Identify what you could exchange with this person based on what’s important to him or her.

You could explain the significance of your project in the company.

You could exchange time and resources with this person.

You could make the person feel like he or she belongs to your organization, on a personal level. Offer them emotional support and active listening

You could show sincere gratitude and allow the person to take his or her own decisions.

Keep in mind that even if one of these strategies wouldn’t work with you, it doesn’t mean that it won’t with another type of person.

 

  • If you’re a perfect stranger to the person, you’ll want to build some kind of relationship with him or her. Building trust is the main goal here.
  • Once you’ve determined what you have to offer, just go with it and give! Help him or her in exchange of his or her time and effort. Help the best you can so he or she’ll do the same.

If you don’t need much help for the moment, the best thing you can do is to prepare. You can prepare by building good relationships so the previous steps will be easier to go through.

Here’s to your projects management!
