Why my eyes are more tired since I work from home?

The eyes have muscles and therefore we need to exercise them as well. Staying home also means that your eyes exercise less. 

Doing daily commutes to work, meeting co-workers, being in big rooms, are all spaces in which the muscles in our eyes are constantly exercising. That doesn't happen when we are looking at an object (screen) right in front of your eyes continuously for over 8-10 hrs with no as many breaks as it should be. 

How do the eyes get exercised? 

They get exercised by: 1) looking at things at difference distances, 2) moving them up and down, left and right, or in circles, 3) looking at people in face to face meetings. 

And the eyes need to get constant rest by: 1) Blinking more often, as we tend to blink a lot less while on the computer, 2) use 20-20-20 rule, looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

To explore my mind, helping it get to the limits of learning and creation.  I’m really happy I set the space for it, and gave the opportunity to myself to do just that. Taking months of very light work so I could organise my own learning and creation, and it’s been almost a whole year. It’s a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, I’m very grateful I had the chance to live a sort of “year gap” in which I focused on my personal growth, and that on its own is a great accomplishment, I didn’t fail that promise I made to myself while working hard for years. That moment finally came, I respected the promise and I’m grateful for it. On the other hand, I learnt so much from it....

Let actions do the talk

The way people act is a more accurate representation of their inner feelings/ motivations, than what they actually say. We can’t be 100% sure about things, but I believe our actions say more about our true selves than what we actually say. Relationships are complex. Get more skilled at reading people’s actions, as well as your own, and you will understand better the people around you and your relationships.  Sergio, reflection about friendships. Conclusion: “let actions do the talk”.
