your mind, after reading it tear it up and throw it away.

Put fresh flowers on your desk.
6.

to clear your mind and relieve tension.
Stinky
Feet
You
may not think you have a foot-odor problem, but your spouse or your
buddies may disagree. The
more your feet sweat, the more your shoes retain moisture.
Odor-causing fungus likes to grow in those moist environments.
What to do, if you wear tennis shoes, rotate two pairs, so one
has a chance to dry out. Avoid
cotton socks, which absorb moisture, running or exercising in cotton
socks is like running on a wet sponge.
After showering soak you feet in warm water with a few
tablespoons of Epson salts which is a drying agent.
Get
your Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s
Don’t
cheat on your sleep; there is no set amount of sleep that is best for
everyone. People vary
greatly in their need for sleep.
On average, adults sleep 7 hours a night during the workweek.
Most people compensate by sleeping longer on weekends, a switch
guaranteed to keep your body clock confused.
The
price we pay for cheating sleep is steep:
short-changing the brain of learning potential, short
circuiting your moods and dimming your alertness, it can even make you
gain weight and compromise your health.
Coffee can keep you going for a while, but nothing can
compensate for sleep. Your
body needs it and your brain needs it.
Sweet
Dreams.
