Hiatus Burn Out

Sorry I've been missing for a short time. I took an unexpected hiatus. My middle son got married, and not only was I completely and busily happy~ I discovered a feeling of being burnt out!

So I took a deep breath and I literally smelled the flowers! We have been deluged by rain and thunderstorms and it enabled me to catch up with myself and reevaluate any and all of my writing and blogging goals.  I also revisited my fitness goals, and I'd like you to join me too. As with previous months and even as late as this spring I started my walk fitness and stationary bike routines.

I hope I encouraged you and inspired you to join in or just create your personal fitness goals and routines. If you haven't, it's not too late to start right this minute!

I just read an article about how real "burn out" is! It has been reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) that  Burn Out had become an official medical diagnosis.  It is considered a true and definitive medical diagnosis, that can be a debilitating as depression in some cases.

I will always ask you to seek out a medical professional at all times, try not to diagnose yourself or your friends, but take heed if you are feeling any of these symptoms:

1. the feeling of energy depletion or exhaustion
2. reduced professional efficacy
3. a mental distance from your job or feelings of negativism or cynicism relating to your job.

We all go through different types of this without it being Burn Out Syndrome, but if one cannot go to work or have feelings related to stress your job is causing, and (WHO) states a "state of vital exhaustion" this is serious and one is in need of a doctors evaluation.

I recently attended a Happiness seminar and some of the talking points ring true here. (more on Happiness seminar later)

So before you can reach the Burn Out Syndrome, take a deep breath reevaluate, stop over-scheduling your self, and prioritize the most imperative things in your life and do them.  Find your own Happiness Factor and you'll most likely come out of your slump and be a more balanced and productive person. Your talents will reconnect and your passions will again be front and center.

So if you're ready to simplify your life and ready to take on fitness on your own personal level, come smell all the garden flowers with me.

Let me know if you'd like to track your fitness levels with me. I'll be your walk partner or your ear when you just want to achieve your goals and talk about them. Sign up with your email on my site to leave me a message. I'll be creating small customized fitness programs here on the blog.
Stop and really smell the flowers. Please see the New page that was added to use as a public forum and coming soon we will begin fitness goals and public groups and programs. Thanks.
Beautiful flowers

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
