Improve your concentration- about coffee

Hi!

Do you know maybe how can I improve my concentration at work, at home, studying, working, doing something important? 

I will be happy to get to know how can I do it profitably and efficiently. 

I'll write what I usually do, but I ask you to tell me what methods do you use, prefer?

Like this? Meditation?

Drinking some coffee?

Or cup of tea? 

Or maybe you massage your temples? 

For example, when I'm trying to concentrate on something, first I must to ensure the biological needs and be rested. If not, well.... There are some ways to wake up and improve our concentration.

I must to be fed state too and have some water and sometimes chewing gum next to me.
Well seated on the chair I can get to work. When I start to feel tired I do some breaks or some exercises. I like also take break as walking around with my dog for example.

I know that many of us drink coffee to wake up but it's not the best idea. Coffee raise our blood pressure in a violent way and after a temporary surge of energy I fell horrible sleepy and it starts over.
Of course, people appreciate coffee for the taste, but the truth scientifically proven is that coffee leaches the valuable elements from organism. So, maybe limit to one cup a day, just for flavor if you like, or for the boost of energy ;)

As a substitute you can try a tea, which works gradually, in opposite to coffee. I propose you green tea or others, because black tea has similar ingredients as coffee.

What do you prefer to drink? Coffee, tea? Or maybe some fresh juice? Any sport activities? Or maybe sleep?

Product compositionssss....

Hi everybody!

Have you ever wondered about composition of the products? Cosmetics, food, cleaning products?

Do you pay attention to the chemical composition of what you use or eat? 

That's why I would like to write you something about compositions of the products, which I found definitely too long and dangerous for human beings in general. I might add that this is not just mine opinion. 

Today I would like to focus on the cosmetics.

From some time I became interested in, not only cosmetics but also about food and cleaning products components. 

Find me a woman who don't like take care of herself. Some lotions here, some spread for the cheeks there... 

Nowadays, we can find in the markets a huge, wide palette of cosmetics, shampoos, soaps, facial or not, all types of gels, make-up removers, mascaras, etc.... 

The vast majority of theme included components which harm the health and body's hormones level, irritating at the same time our skin and mucous membranes and all the rest....  Every year appears more and more....

Why?

Business is business ladies. And it doesn't to make us healthier and more beautiful. 

Very often, unfortunately, we don't think about what we buy. We are under pressure, we are in a hurry... We don't read the composition because it's too long, to small letters... We believe in publicity with a beautiful models or others... Do you read them? Or not? 

If not, if we are trying to buy some good, expensive products, very often we believe immediately the brand, thinking that if it's a costly expense it must be good and efficient. 

Nothing more wrong. Sometimes some product more cheaper have better components than those expensive one! I really invite you to read, and to do not believe the images on the front of the products!

More, you can do some cosmetics yourself. Only what you need is to look for. The Internet is a mine of different knowledge and you can search some specialist, pharmacists opinions, or recipes of natural, home made cosmetics, often cheaper than in the store.

Here you can find the entire lists in the Internet if you are interested in this topic with opinions of dermatologists, doctor's and chemists. Here, I include some polish versions of links:

Take care of yourself consciously!

Why?

It's not longer just about your health, but about environement too.

Have you ever thought how substances from various products have an impact on territory where you live? On the atmosphere, background, conditions of the water, conditions of live of the plants, animals and ourselves?

Please, think, and let try to be a conscious consumer.
For your own good and for the good of others, and the planet.

Thank you for your attention

about politics?

We're writing about fit style but people forgot about liberty and what's going on in media
and in Ukraine.

I could say it was a title for the post which I wanted to write one month ago, I don't remeber the impuls that pushed me to thoughts like this.

Then, I'd like to write something about 1st april, but the only funny, or more, pleasently thing what happened was a joyful news that my colleague is pregnant. And it wasn't a joke! Trully!

Today I can say that I have something to add to the topic of politics and Smolensk disaster. 

The best thing today was that I went to swim a little bit and then, to sleep. I hope you are ok.

After this hard week I just want to say you...

good night...

1% tax

Attention! 

We have tax settlement last minute now!

Have you ever thought how generous you can be?

As you know, or not, we must account for the tax with the end of the month. Have you done it yet? 

If not, this is the deadline.

Symbol of OPP (Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego)

For example me, I did it and I donated 1% of my tax for the charity this year. 

Every year I look for some new possibilities to give to someone my 1%.

And you? Do you prescribe your 1% of your impose?
If not, I ask you to do it, because you do not lose nothing, even more, you can help!

For  those, who don't know what to do with their 1%, FYI  in Poland you can offer 1% of tax to one of the public benefit organizations (but NOG- no organization gouvernamental, and except political party, so f.ex.: foundations, trade unions, etc.) from the list which was established in 2004, for all taxpayers from natural persons. 

Here some propositions:

Please, take advantage of your opportunities and freedom and let offer someone 1% of kindness.

For the next time!
(which will be soon I hope)

DIFFERENT communication STYLES

Inspired by one article during intercultural communication I wanted to summarize this article which i found quite interesting, because it shows influence of many details which have an impact on our interpersonal communication and which we often are not aware, don't care or in other case we can't see them.

Everyone have different style of communication, so, choose yours:

LINEAR- when you speaks precisely and quickly, with logic; people who are circular type might be tiring for you because of their verbosity

advice: be patient, KEEP CALM AND LISTEN

CIRCULAR- when you don't give a point and you give a context to your interlocutor (in other words you don't speak precisely ^^), you speak a lot and long; persons of type linear might be for you too simple and too laconic

advice: ask questions if you can't keep up, try to be more precise

DIRECT- you precise what do you mean exactly, without the context, you seems to be honest and true; persons of indirect type might seem to you as unfair and their behavior seem as they wrap around the bush

advice: try to see beyond the line, consider the metaphorical meaning of words

INDIRECT- you like metaphors and silence, you can be perceived as insincere; direct type might be for you too stolid and unjust

advice: do not feel attacked by direct style, think more about how much your opposite style appreciate direct communication, try to use less metaphores to not make direct style to feel lost in your divagations, just say what you think, without wondering about too much :)

EMOTIONAL- you express your emotions, positive or negative, you don't care, by emotions you feel connected with other people; stolid type is too stolid for you ^^ and chilly, without emotions and interest

advice: ?

STOLID-  you keep your feelings, emotions inside of you, you don't speak them loud; you can perceive emotional type as immature and infantile, without respect for others

advice: ?

CONCRETE- you give examples from real stories, this is your base for abstraction theories, you percieve abstract type as detached from reality and too vague

advice: ?

ABSTRACT/DISCRETE- you love theories, concepts and abstraction, it helps you to understand reality; you percieve concret type as too personal and sophisticated

advice: ?

What type are you? 

Do you agree with these types? 

Any ideas or advices for other communication styles? 

What do you think about it?
