LIFESTYLE.....Disconnect and enjoy 15 minutes of 'me time'
BPT) - Americans rarely take the time to unplug during the work day. In fact, we spend just short of half the day in front of some type of screen, according to research by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The health benefits of relaxing away from digital technology are well documented, but it still is a challenge for many to find some time for themselves. If you find yourself in this category, consider scheduling a 15 minute break every morning and afternoon. It will be quality me-time, and before you know it, those 15 minutes will become a welcomed break each and every day. Here are five simple ways you can turn just 15 minutes into an actual break that will help refresh your whole day – and may just make you more productive. Enjoy tea time: In under 15 minutes, you can brew and enjoy a cup of tea. Choose your favorite ceramic mug, add hot water, and let your Tetley Black and Green tea bag steep for two minutes while you take a breath. No peeking at your screen while your steeping! Tetley Black and Green tea is a smart choice, since it does double duty while you take a break, offering the benefits of green tea with the rich, smooth flavor of black tea. So savor the experience and the tea – and disconnect and focus your energy on yourself until your cup is empty. Meditation: Meditation is a great way to slow the heart, calm the mind and recharge the batteries. Just 15 minutes of meditation can help you improve your focus and reduce stress, bringing your energy back so you can accomplish everything on your to-do list. Follow along with a guided meditation on YouTube to help get started. Take a walk: Get yourself out of your home or office for 15 minutes of fresh air. Pack a pair of sneakers and set a daily appointment on your calendar. Go around the block, or pick up the pace a bit and go for the mile. By removing yourself from your working environment, you can help your brain concentrate better when you return. Play with a pet: Four-legged family members can quickly bring a smile to your face during a 15-minute break for playtime. Even sitting still and scratching Fido or Fluffy behind the ears can help calm you down and lift your spirits. Plus, your pet will certainly reward you with love and affection. Stretch out the kinks: Sitting still for too long can leave your body achy and sapped for energy. Do some desk exercises to get your blood moving, like rising up to your tiptoes for a full-body stretch. Close your office door and put your phone on do not disturb to get the break you need. A couple of yoga moves are also an option, and can help relieve any neck or back tension that might be distracting you from your work. If you start scheduling these 15-minute breaks, you'll soon notice they become automatic, and you'll start to look forward to the times of the day when you can pull the plug and enjoy some time to yourself.
A San Francisco girl scout is showing her entrepreneurial spirit - by setting up a cookie stall outside a legal cannabis dispensary.
Danielle Lei is reporting a roaring trade after setting up shop outside the Green Cross weed store in the Californian city. Marijuana is clinically proven to stimulate appetite - a phenomenon referred to among smokers as 'the munchies'. Danielle told the owners of the shop that she had sold 560 boxes of biscuits in just four days, according to the Smell the Truth blog. "I would not have sold that many in four days if I did not sell in front of your store," she told them. Other girl scout troupes in US states where the sale of marijuana has been legalised are reportedly investigating copying the idea. Sale of the soft drug is permitted for certain medical conditions in San Francisco, and the Green Cross is a legal dispensary. |
Pen Argyl Academic Wall of Fame Nominations
It is time for the Pen Argyl High School Alumni Association to select the 2015 Inductees to the Academic Wall of Fame.
This honor is bestowed on a select number of graduates or past district educators each year who have distinguished themselves through community service, academic accomplishments, as well as, advancements in their chosen profession. The creation of this distinction was to set an example of what is possible for all present and future Pen Argyl students! This honor is different from the PAHS Athletic Hall of Fame where chosen Alumni are honored for their athletic contributions while at Pen Argyl High School. Anyone can nominate a PAHS graduate for the Academic Wall of Fame honor. Our Academic Wall of Fame Inductees have made a meaningful contribution to the world around them, and the Pen Argyl Alumni Association is proud to bestow this honor. To nominate a graduate, please contact Jim or Heather Hunter at 610-863-9443 or send an e-mail to [email protected] The deadline for nominations is February 20, 2015. Help Save Pius X High School
