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.

Asking for help, the skill that no one taught me

No one taught me how to ask for help. I learnt how to aspire to be super man and do it all on my own, but no one taught me how to ask for help. Whether it’s for career purposes, personal, emotional, etc. Asking for help is one of the most difficult things to do.  Too many people are often copying with too much on their own, never asking for help, or only until things get unbearable. Similar in career success, personal finances, partner relationship, and more. We settle for what we can achieve on our own ignoring that it’s only when we ask for help that things really get to the next level. There is always someone probably more knowledgeable and expert in any topic, why not taking advantage of that and wanting to do all the long way? This is one of my main difficulties and I’ll train this skill, perhaps asking for help in learning how to ask for help. 😊

The Addiction to mobile phones is real

The addiction to the mobile phone is real. We don’t notice it because it’s slowing increasing day after day and becomes a practice generally accepted to use the phone when we are bored, when we re busy, when we are alone, up to that point it was probably still okay,  but now people use it when they are together, when in conversation, interrupting the flow of the face to face interaction, the focus, people lose social skills for listening to each other and engaging in the real face to face world. What would you do if you had an entire extra month every year to use it in whatever you want? Did you know 2 hours a day on social media, is the equivalent to a whole month of time every year? It is funny until it’s not.  Most people would agree using too much the phone (too often unnecessarily on social media or excessive typing) is not great. But, most people still do it. It’s funny until it’s not, until we realise (late) that we are actually losing our social skills and suddenly interacting

Does my partner help me bring the good out of me? Do I help my partner show the best of them?

As we humans grow up at some point we find a suitable partner and decide to stay together for as long as possible. We then create a sort of group identity and dynamics that spread in all aéreas of our lives, we go from a strong personal identity, to a strong group identity. Partnership dynamics are complex. Partnerships create a new balance for our daily lives, we would hardly feel well if our partner is upset at us.  We have personal important needs that are met by having a partner. That person provides support and help helping us get into our positive balance, same as we do for our partner and so on, aiming for a good feeling relationship, which has great impact on our personal mood.  Communication, in time, becomes in one of the most important group skills in a relationship. Not understanding each other’s motivations and feelings, is almost a sure recipe for future frustration which sometimes starts building up without the other persons knowledge. We should aim for the best Group Ba
