For me, it’s my yoga mat.

Yoga is a discipline that combines exercises with relaxation techniques; the intent is to rejuvenate the body and free the mind from tension and fatigue. Yoga means unity or oneness, from the Sanskrit word “yug” (to join). You do not need to be flexible to practice yoga. People with varying levels of flexibility enjoy yoga and discover great improvements in their flexibility as they continue to practice. There are, however, some basic safety tips to follow.

Do:

• Practice yoga in a quiet, restful place
• Follow the exercises carefull
• Stop if you feel any pain
• Keep breathing deeply to relax the body
• Wear comfortable clothing
• Keep your feet bare for traction

Don’t:

• Undertake yoga if you are pregnant, unfit, or suffering from any injury or medical disorder before consulting your health care povider
• Rush through the movement; give yourself the time to enjoy the postures
• Hyper-extend or lock the knee
• Perform yoga on a full stomach; wait one hour after a light meal and four hours after a heavy meal
• Expect that you will be able to imitate the postures right away

Stress Management

Stress is the impact of wear and tear on your body as you experience everyday living. Everyone has stress and needs a certain amount to be productive. Too much stress can place high demands on your body and can have harmful effects on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

It is important to ask yourself if you are fighting stress or managing it. Fighting stress is destructive. Managing it is constructive. Next time you’re faced with a stressful situation, will you fight it or manage it?

Signs that you are fighting stress include:

• ignoring feelings and denying stress
• making excuses for mistakes
• projecting your feelings onto others – taking it out on them
• using crutches (e.g., caffeine, nicotine, drugs)
• pushing yourself to the limit; persisting with futile deadlines; not relenting
• escaping or giving in
• being negative and pessimistic

Signs that you are managing stress include:

• recognizing it, dealing with it and letting go of it
• reframing mistakes as opportunities and learning from them
• channelling your feelings in a positive manner (e.g., gym workout, rigorous walk, time out)
• building a social support network, exercising and eating well
• getting a good night’s sleep, taking a break, keeping it all in perspective
• being proactive and maintaining control
• being optimistic and using positive self-talk

Conflict Resolution

Would you rather have the first word, or the last in an argument?

Conflicts are a part of life. They occur when someone

feels that something important to them is threatened. Causes can be simple (such as a missing coffee cup) or complex (such as improper use of office). Conflicts can cause resentment and distrust and should be

resolved as quickly as possible. In order to be able to resolve a conflict, it doesn’t matter if you speak first or last. It is important to communicate effectively, use some negotiation skills and understand the basic conflict resolution techniques. Common causes of conflict in the workplace:

• Competition for limited resources (employment opportunities, salary, office).
• Unfulfilled emotional needs (the need to feel accepted, successful, and appreciated).
• Differences in values and beliefs (cultural and ideological differences, prejudice).
• Pride, selfishness, and hypocrisy.
• Lies, half-truths, and misrepresentations of the truth.
• Confusion over words and actions.
• Stress and time pressures.

To learn more about how to resolve conflicts using specific techniques, see “Conflict Resolution” published by Permacharts.

Write about any or all of:

The process described above is just one of many ways to nurture your creativity. You have the ability to generate many new and exciting ideas, but first you have to discover how to unlock your creative side. . The human brain is divided into two halves: the left brain, which is objective, logical, and analytical, and the right brain, which is subjective, intuitive, and imaginative.  Everyone has the ability to imagine and create, but not all of us effectively access or use the creative, or right side, of our brain. You can get many helpful tips and exercises to develop your creativity in Permacharts‘ Creativity quick study reference guide.

Skill Builder #3:

Get Outside the Box

This technique helps you to look at things from a different perspective, to twist and turn the obvious into something new.

1. Twist, turn, reshape, modify, adapt, eliminate, reverse everything and anything.
2. Take a negative and make it a positive and vice-versa.
3. Pick an item, such as a wallet. Modify it, tilt it, add to it, stand it up, lay it down, color it, change its purpose, until it is no longer a wallet, but something entirely different.
4. Frame things through the eyes of different people. How would a doctor use a table? A mechanic? A teacher? A janitor? A salesclerk? A________? See how many ways you can frame the table. This may give you insight into new design ideas.

Having learned his lesson, it was the last time Dr. Jiggybones would let the crossbeams get out of skew on the treadle.

Before writing a short story, it’s important to understand the elements of this form of literature. Here is an excerpt taken from “Understanding the Short Story” from the quick study reference guide, published by Permacharts.

I selected the section entitled “Closure in the Short Story” since the challenge was to write a short story with a specific ending.

“Closure is a literary term referring to the sense of resolution supposedly experienced at the conclusion of many works of literature (e.g. “And they all lived happily ever after”). Many literary critics have argued that, properly speaking, there is no such thing as closure, even in stories where a resolution (happy or not) of the various conflicts appears to occur, because, as in real life, there are always ensuing consequences. Some of the best short stories contain a culminating moment where the truth is revealed to the main character, and by implication, to the reader. Other, equally fine stories, defy closure and conclude on an open-ended note where the reader is left with unresolved issues and mysteries. With short stories, readers should not go out of their way to look for closure, or even to expect it at all”.
