There are two types of folks right now roaming American turf...those WITH jobs, and those WITHOUT. Although we're facing a new phase of unemployment rates, there are still things that you can do to make MORE time, or be more productive with your time. Here's some points I took from an article I read on the bus to work this morning that may really help you out if you're feeling STUCK, or STRESSED from your job.
- Cut the Commercials (if you're lucky enough to have a Tivo you can record your favorite shows and skip the fat of commercials, therefore giving you some extra time to do whatever you need to do).
- Shop with Serenity (if you grocery shop during prime TV times, the stores seem to have MUCH less folks to deal with and stand behind in lines out the door etc.)
- Adjust your Hours (come to work an hour early to get everything that you need to handle in order instead of just feeling like there's 8 things at once waiting for you when you walk through the door; this will probably help your sanity as well and even help you get home earlier since you'll probably be done with all your assignments).
- Stop Aiming for Perfection (just aim for GOOD ENOUGH and give yourself a break)
- Make the things you WAIT for WORTH IT (while waiting anywhere, in traffic, on hold etc. try doing other tasks or make a TO-DO list so you don't feel totally overwhelmed with a list of things you need to get done while "wasting time" WAITING...we all do it, now be productive with it!)
FOODS THAT GIVE FEMALES (AND MALES) ENERGY!!!! No seriously, stop acting like you're too good to be doing this for yourself!
EAT THE FOLLOWING FOODS (in moderation OF COURSE)
-blueberries (loaded with energy boosting carbs)
-Yogurt (although I'm not a fan of this texture, I even have to stick it up just to make sure that I'm getting the right amount of EVERYTHING in my life, it's harder as a female to be honest though)
-ALMONDS (get that ZINC in your system...us humans need it more than you realize)
- Sweet Potatoes (low in fat and high in FIBER & ANTIOXIDANTS...which is what we ALL need)
-SALMON (low in cals and saturated fat, plus it'll make you smarter than your co-workers ;-)
- Collard greens (super dense in vitamins and minerals...stop making excuses, we don't have our moms here cooking for us anymore, take better care of yourself now for cheaper too!)
-BLACK BEANS (although they do at times make you more gassy, they're packed with energyboosting iron)
READY FOR THE SEX FOOD?
Eat this: DARK CHOCOLATE (not Milk Chocolate, only DARK, it's better for you and has chemicals that trigger certain things that are Tony the Tiger grrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeat!)

STORY!!!! :-)
