5 Ways To Decrease Stress During the Work Week

Sometimes the work week can be extremely stressful. Whether you are bogged down with work, juggling two jobs, or are a full-time student with an internship position, a chaotic schedule certainly takes a toll on our bodies. It can be easy to forget to slow down and recharge. Take a breather and try out these five ways to help decrease your stress levels.

1. Plan ahead

Staying ahead of the game can truly make your work week less intimidating. If you know you have midterms next week and a big project at work to complete, sit down and write out a plan before beginning. 

Whether it's creating a schedule, to-do list or even just small reminders of what's taking place that given week, making the effort to stay as organized as possible leaves less room for error at the work place and can help ease your mind. Remember, it's all about prioritizing!

2. Indulge 

After a long day at work, sometimes you need to satisfy your sweet tooth or dig into a savory snack. Stop by a bakery on your way home from work or pick up a few snacks for work the next morning. While I am not recommending going overboard and using food as a source of stress relief, a little indulgence never hurt anyone! 

3. Go Technology Free

We're all occasionally guilty of being consumed by our cell phones, laptops and COC (Clash of Clan) accounts, so make the step to go technology free for a night. Without even realizing it, our favorite gadgets have the potential to create more stress. 

Allows you mind to clear by not immediately responding to every text, e-mail and social media notification you get. Worries and distractions at work, school, home and your social life can all be put on hold, even if it's for a few hours before bed. Learn to enjoy the silence and feeling of a clear mind!

4. Stay Hydrated

This might sound simple, but staying hydrated during the work week can make a huge difference. Being properly hydrated helps every part of your body function better, including your brain! Invest in a reusable water bottle to make your daily water intake that much easier.

5. Make Time to Relax 

Take the time to sit down, stretch, nap or listen to some music. Finding time to relax and unwind will help alleviate any stress that accumulated over the work week. If silence isn’t your ideal form of relaxation, invite a few friends over for a movie night, take a mini shopping trip or exercise. Find those few things that disengage your thoughts from work and stick to it. 

Whether it's time alone, list making, a technology free night, or your favorite dessert that decreases your stress level, try to remain consistent with practicing forms of stress relief. It will help make your work week less stressful and even enjoyable!

Yes, you do.

Dear Viber in the world,

Yesterday i have a recording on the world class water specialist grade 6 (highest rank) talking about the water of today. Today water is no longer called the "Dirty" water or "Waste" water. It is known as "Sick" water.

"Sick" water contains drugs, dissolved solid metal, arsenic, lead, pesticide, herbicide, and etc. Can to water filter in the market able to filter out those unwanted metal? The answer is one and the only best water filtration system is RO system.

Many company in the water filtration industry are only to make money out from your pocket, they do not care if the water filtration able to filter out entire contamination but instead they do their best to confuse you into buying their water filtration. For example, water should have minerals (including drugs), water should be in alkaline form (only heard of alkaline food but not alkaline water), water should be bacteria free (we are talking about "Sick" water, not waste water), and etc

This matter is a serious matter for the entire family in the house. Of course, this contamination won't kill you instantly but it definitely will deterioration your health condition day by day. Until then when you start to sick problem in your life, you'll start to blame the food and the lack of exercise or sometimes you will blame the people around you. But the true fact of a house, the most basic need in our house is to have the pure and perfect H20 water was been compromise at the first place. 

I'm able to do a water demo for your house to understand better of the water quality you're using at home. For appointments, please contact 016 830 7574 - Alvin

Thank you for watching Alvin's Vibe.

Hello again everybody,

I was just chilling out in the Old town White Coffee here in Kelana Jaya. The white coffee here is good but the 20MB free Wifi was not so good.

I was trying to watch a trailer called "The Bullet Vanished" trailer from the youtube but unfortunately the connection was too slow. Suppose to spend 1mins for the trailer but ended up wasted around 10 mins just to watch the trailer.

Here i notice a lot of "Insurance agents" hanging out here in the coffee shop. Sometimes if you're lucky enough, you will see the agent trying to "make" a point to his/her customer. Do you feel the vibe?
