Work Related Stress Management Tips - Learning to Decompress

Eisla Sebastian — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:00:28 GMT

Stress is a natural part of life that we all have to learn how to manage. What makes this component of life so destructive is that it is cumulative and contagious. The more stress we are exposed to, the more impact it has on our lives. Fortunately, if you learn simple steps for reducing your stress experiences you will be able to avoid many of the pitfalls of stress like illness, physical pain and psychological torment.

Stress and Work

Work is one of the most stressful environments that you can be in. It is full of people who want something from you and who often give little in return. On top of these social stressors there are physical stressors in your work environment like poor lighting and indoor air pollution and noise pollution. Finally, your triathlon of stressors is topped off with the constant threat of losing your ability to make a living.

Minimizing Stress at Work

Since you know that you are going to be bombarded with stressors in your work environment you need to take steps to minimize their effect on your behavior. To start with you can de-clutter your work space. This will help to reduce the amount of stimulation in your environment and help you to focus on what is important. Next you can set up your office so that you are comfortable. This may mean rearranging your furniture to give you access to the most natural light possible and it may also mean replacing various pieces of furniture to ensure proper ergonomics.

Decompressing After Work

It is important to leave the stress of work at your front door. As you walk into your home you need to decompress and shift into home mode. This can be done by first shedding your work clothes and putting on something that is loose fitting and comfortable, like a pair of lounge pants. This one change can quickly change the way you feel physically and emotionally.

Next you will want to keep everything low key. Instead of immediately rushing to make dinner or clean your apartment, take five minutes to become comfortable and to reset your mind. After this is done you will be in a much better mood and you will be much better able to address the chores that need to get done.

Weekly Comfort Item: Jeans for Him

Meg C. — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:00:43 GMT

It's a common misconception that men have an easy time finding a pair of jeans. Like women, men have different body shapes. What looks fabulous on one man may look utterly geeky on another. Although shopping for men's jeans sounds like a daunting task, it's possible to do so without leaving your bachelor pad.

According to About.com, the three types of body shapes men have are ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph. Ecotomorphs are tall, slim, and thin. Endomorphs are round, with a generous waist size. Mesomorphs have a muscular, athletic build.

Ectomorphs should wear jeans that show off their slim features. Wearing jeans that are too bulky make a man look like he's swimming in his clothing and that's not cool. Classic ectomorphs find comfort in Levi's 511 Skinny Fit jeans. At $54, they are a steal. Since they come in a variety of colors, it's a good idea to purchase several colors. Light denim looks great for a casual look, where dark washes are an excellent "night on the town" look. For men who like a hipper, more urban look, 7 For All Mankind Slimmy in San Clemente 2 makes for a great pair of jeans.

Endomorphs shouldn't wear the skinny jeans sported by ectomorphs. Instead, they should wear a jean with a more relaxed waist and a leg that balances out their fuller figure. Taper leg jeans tend to make a thick waist look even thicker, so choose boot cut jeans over taper leg jeans for a more balanced look. Joe's Jeans Classic 32" in Blake is a comfortable option for many men. Featuring a hint of stretch denim and a relaxed look, these jeans should balance out a pudgy tummy quite nicely.

Mesomorphs can find comfort in any number of styles. Skinny jeans may not fit quite right on a muscular figure, although many other styles will work very well. 7 For All Mankind boot cut jeans should be a staple in a mesomorph's wardrobe. Rock & Republic Floyd in Collaboration is also a wonderful pair of jeans for an athletic man.

Weekly Comfort Item: Finding the Right Jeans

Meg C. — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:00:23 GMT

The right pair of jeans depends on the occasion, your body style, and your budget. Finding the right pair of women's jeans doesn't have to be difficult and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home.

There are three main body types: apple, pear, and banana. People with an apple shape are thick through the middle. Pear shaped women have a small waist and larger hips. Banana shaped women are straight. They have little waist and hip definition.

Apples need high-waist jeans that cover your tummy without cutting in to your stomach. Jag Jeans Plus Size Curvy Kate Boot Cut jeans in Dark Retro are great for a night out if worn with a cute top. A sweatshirt turns these fab jeans instantly into the perfect casual attire. Not Your Daughter's Jeans Premium 5 Pocket Boot Cut includes a wonderful tummy panel that slims and defines a thicker middle.

Pear shaped women should steer clear of high-waist jeans. This type of jean causes an unsightly gap to develop between a woman's back and the jeans, particularly when she sits down. In addition, tapered leg jeans can make the hips look wider. Mid-rise boot cut jeans are the best fit for pear-shaped women. Try Joe's Jeans Honey in Perry. These jeans are "designed for the voluptuous woman with a smaller waist and luscious booty." What could be more perfect than that?

Banana shaped women should embrace their bodies. So many straight figured women opt for men's jeans, which isn't necessary. Skinny jeans look fabulous on a straight figure. James Jeans Twiggy 5 Pocket Legging in China Doll is a perfect option for straight-bodied women. These jeans are ideal for a night on the town when paired with a sparkly tube top or other party blouse. Throw on a sweat shirt or a tank top, and you have an edgy casual look unlike any other.

When shopping for the perfect pair of jeans, don't forget to check out all the adorable, funky, and cool shoes available. A killer pair of heels or a pair of great winter boots will do wonders for your overall look.

Weekly Comfort Procedure: Understanding the Shape of your Feet

Meg C. — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:00:08 GMT

Choosing a comfortable dress shoe can be a very difficult undertaking. There are many things to consider when selecting a comfortable dress shoe for both women and men. Familiarity with various brands and an understanding of the shape of your feet will go a long way in determining an ideal and comfortable dress shoe.

There are three foot shapes that a majority of the population has: flat foot, normal foot, and high arch.

Flat feet can be hereditary, or flat feet can develop over years of foot abuse. Shoes that fully support your arch and that have a firm heel counter are recommended for stability and strength. Women with flat feet should consider the Drew Lora. This shoe offers a removable insole that can be replaced with custom orthotic insoles prescribed by a doctor. Men should try the P.W. Minor 5th Avenue.

Those with normal feet can typically wear any comfort dress shoe without any major problems. Keep in mind that you still need to make sure that you have proper arch support and an excellent fit in order for a pair of comfortable dress shoes to be effective. Women should try a nice comfortable dress shoe such as the Easy Spirit Ilene. Men will find a superb comfortable dress shoe when they wear the Mephisto Squall.

Individuals with high arches have a lot of foot pain. Custom orthotic insoles are oftentimes used by individuals with high arches to alleviate pain. Those that have foot pain that is not severe enough to go see a specialist need to make sure they are wearing shoes with the right support and that have a great fit. Aetrex Sarah is a great comfortable dress shoe for women with high arches. The shoes have removable insoles, providing you with the ability to wear custom orthotics without wearing a shoe that screams "I'm orthotic." Men should try the Drew Arlington.

Uncomfortable feet make for an uncomfortable life. Finding a great pair of comfortable dress shoes is very important.

Weekly Comfort Item: Nurse Mates

Meg C. — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:00:49 GMT

With flu season right around the corner, nurses all over are preparing for double shifts. Nurses take care of all our aches and pains, and make us comfortable during our most trying times. All the while, many nurses are stuck with stiff, uncomfortable shoes.

Nothing's worse than pulling a double shift with throbbing feet, which is why the weekly comfort item caters to our nation's favorite medical providers. Nurse Mates Faith Mary Jane style shoes are both adorable and comfortable. Available in two colors, feel free to wear Nurse Mates Faith shoes paired with any of your favorite decorative scrubs. Dickie's Medical Mini Wrap Top and Dickie's Medical Cargo pants in dark gray look fabulous with a pair of black Nurse Mates Faith shoes.

Why are comfortable nursing shoes so important? Comfortable nursing shoes are important because a nurse has to be comfortable in order to make her patients comfortable. A nurse needs to be pleasant - and it's hard to be pleasant when your feet are achy and sore. Nurse Mates is a brand that has been setting the bar for safety standards since 1961. Comfortable nursing shoes must also be slip resistant, as liquids on tile hospital floors can pose significant slip risks. All Nurse Mates shoes exceed ASTM slip-resistant qualifications.

What else can nurses and other medical providers do for their tired, achy feet other than wear comfortable nursing shoes? Try products such as AHAVA The Source Mineral Foot Treatment. Simply massage a generous amount into your feet and legs to prevent rough soles and to rejuvenate tired feet.

This flu season nurses need to make sure to keep their feet especially comfortable. With the H1N1 epidemic expected to explode, nurses will be on their feet for several hours at a time. Shoes such as Nurse Mates Faith and Nurse Mates Amber and products such as AHAVA The Source Mineral Foot Treatment are all available to make the life of nurses more comfortable and healthy.

Weekly Comfort Item: Leggings are Popular for Fall

Meg C. — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:00:05 GMT

One of the hottest trends this fall is also the weekly comfort item. Leggings are the perfect fashion staple for a fashionista's fall wardrobe. Women of all ages and sizes will enjoy the many fashion and comfort benefits of leggings. Larger women may be more self conscious about the way they look in leggings. They should not be self conscious, as leggings are not a substitute for pants. Leggings are often worn under dresses, skirts, and long tunics or sweaters. The leggings that are popular for fall 2009 are the length of capri pants, or hit at the ankle.

Leggings look sophisticated when paired with a black dress. Purchase a black knee length knit dress with 3/4 length sleeves. Wear a pair of black leggings under the dress. This will give your body a long, lean look. You can accessorize this look with a headband and a chain belt. Finish off the look with a pair of ballet flats.

Younger women can wear leggings with a denim or corduroy mini skirt. The fall trend is to keep with neutral colors. Teenagers and college students can sometimes pull off bolder looks featuring bold colors and animal prints. More mature women should be careful when trying to make a bold statement, as bright colors and animal prints can take away from a sophisticated look.

Leggings are some of the most comfortable items of clothing. Many workout outfits feature leggings as the leg wear of choice. Pairing a pair of leggings with a tunic when you feel bloated is a great way to look fabulous without feeling stuffed in to a pair of pants or a skirt.

If you're sold on this hot 2009 fall fashion trend, consider the Juicy Couture Leggings with Foldover Waistband. Juicy Couture is a brand synonymous with a fashion-forward lifestyle. The fold over waistband with rouched details forgives a woman's figure in the right places. They sell for $110 and comes in black and heather gray. They will also look great paired with a Galliano Chiffon Tunic or Christin Michaels Krista Turtleneck tunic.

No matter what your shape or size, leggings are a 2009 fall fashion trend that should not be ignored, so don't miss out!
