The logic behind ranting

Do you know why it is advisable to rant once in a while? Many persons presume that getting the rant out of the system will be good for the body. Well, it is important to understand that ranting, by itself, will not provide any benefit. It is only when you focus on ranting once in a while will you understand it is real benefits. If you develop the habit of complaining at every single problem, then chances are high that your life will be one long list of complaints. From the fact that there are bugs in the HR management software to the fact that your child does not listen to you-there will be unlimited problems in your life.

The Sensible Way To Handle Stress – Does It Really Work?

There are two popular theories related to stress management. One, the individual is advised to behave in a mature manner and forgive and ignore things that cause of stress. However, this leads to a difficult situation because the object causes stress simply because it cannot be ignored. If the individual had been a position to ignore the thing without any difficulty, perhaps the stress would not have occurred in the first place. Such an approach is like trying to break perspex signs when they have specifically been made to remain unbreakable.

Internet Inaccessible

It’s an interesting statistic that there are still 9 million adults living in the UK who have never used the internet. Ordinarily I would expect most of those 9 million adults to be over the age of 70, but then I would be accused of being ageist. I’m glad to admit that I’m wrong though as the reason 9 million people don’t use the internet is simply that they can’t access it!

Avoiding Stress

I know what you’re probably thinking — and that’s not me being arrogant, that’s just through experience: you’re wondering if this is going to be one of those annoying self-help articles. One that only looks at the positives and makes it sound like stress is something which can be avoided easily, if only you will drink a cup of tea and follow a simple set of instructions. Not so. Here at this blog we don’t like to belittle anyone…

poor time-management. This can cause all kinds of issues, and mean that you think you have less time than you actually do

Shout yourself free

When I was 10 I had a friend called Sandrine. Now, Sandrine hated her name and she hated most things – adults, slugs, people with beards and people with “long arms” all made the top 5 – except for one: shouting. Sandrine claimed that this de-stressed her and made her feel brand-new again. It seemed odd to hear these motivational words come out of the mouth of a 10 year old, but then again, Sandrine’s mum was very new-age and into her hip alternative medicines, so it did make sense.

I always thought it was total rubbish, of course, until recently when my dog went missing in the woods and I was forced to shout “Woodywoodpecker where are you!” at the top of my voice. It was only then, many years later, that I realised how much less stressed it made me feel.

To make sure it wasn’t a fluke, the next week when me and Woody went to the woods walking, I had another go. It certainly was no fluke! In fact, it felt like the first time I had ever shouted…and wow…that was something.

So I recommend that anyone do it. Just for kicks, because it really is a fantastic way to just get it all out. You just might need to wear some 2xu compression shorts to stop yourself from getting a hernia…but honestly? Have a go and you won’t regret it.

Sandrine would be all smug if she could read this now…and who knows, wherever she is right now, maybe she is.

Let Off Steam: Tennis

Watching sport on TV, you could be forgiven for thinking that tennis is all about stress: two tennis warriors battling it out for hours on end – the blood, the sweat, the tension, the tears.

But of course it doesn’t HAVE to be like this. You can also enjoy a leisurely game with your friends, and doubling up means the pace can become a bit more leisurely.

Why tennis relieves stress:

1) It activates all kinds of muscles, releasing endorphins which give you a natural high.

2) It focuses your mind on intense problem solving which doesn’t stop until the game ends.
3) It make you feel like you’re doing something. That’s always got to help, hasn’t it?
4) It’s something which you can get your aggression out with – that has to be a healthy thing after a long hard slog through a working week consisting of meeting after meeting after meeting…
5) It gets you fit. You then feel more positive about your image and you don’t comfort eat because you don’t want to ruin it. Even my friend Doug Hyde – who used to be very overweight – enjoys a game on the weekends, and now look at him, it’s hard to get him to put his racket down!
All in all, few people have reasons not to play tennis. As an upper-body workout it’s fantastic, and as a lower-body workout it’s something which doesn’t mean going to teh gym, which is always noce. All in all, it’s accessible for people with all levels of mobility, so why not give it a shot?

What are we angry at?

Well, there is something that has been making me extremely angry these days and this is my favourite British government and the people that are responsible for the ’amazing'performance of our domestic economy. I hae been quite sceptical about the predecessors of the current leaders, and still I was quite happy during their rule. Now I am just amazed by how much incompentence an otherwise educated man can present and how much of political instability there is actually in this country.

Firstly, I watched quite steadily how people are losing jobs – the cuts system influenced even the most well-off people in the country and the increased VAT is what I have adored the most – just open you eyes in the morning an go to the shop – OH, THERE IS A PRICE INCREASE! Simply amazing considering how much our expenses have risen by the quickening inflation and the beautifully exercised political skills of a puppet we now call Nick Clegg.

Time to move on – something else seems to be making me quite happy. What is happening with the education that the UK has been generally known for – one of our best features is that we offer some of the best education and university experience in the world. And what happened – nothing good, after the fees increased with 3 times above the average. Perfect – no matter whether it is justified and whether it would have any practical significance, such an increase would decrease the overall authority of the British education as many people would simply consider it failed by politicians. And education need not any critical care – everything that the education system needed was less immigration and more stability for students from th EU.

Getting Served

You have three types of people who get served at the bar:

Type A) He or she is assertive. Instinctively, he or she knows the right place to stand to get served and it happens quickly. He or she never needs to kick up a fuss, because the universe is designed in such a way that they will never, ever have to wait.

And I hate them.

Type B) He or she is a bit less fortunate than type A). For him or her it’s a fight which happens each and every time he goes to the bar. Fortunately, this person is determined and always gets there in the end.

Type C) The he or she who meekly shouts “Um…excuse me can I…?” a few times, then resigns themselves to a fate worse than death: standing there for half an hour without getting served…while other people come and go, some of them collecting two or three rounds of drink in that time.

What Type do you fall into?

I wish I was Type A), but sadly I am Type B) and I always will be: there’s not much I can do about that, as it is genetic. But still, that’s a lot better than being a Type C). There really is no hope in the world for the Type C) people. We can only hope and pray that over time, they learn how to better themselves and survive in the great big cruel world of ours which cares more about international 3G mobile broadband than it does making poverty history.

Street Brawls

I can’t believe that I actually got into a verbal altercation on the street. It isn’t like me, but I have simply had enough of ’tail gating’. That is what it is called when cars do it, they follow too closely and if you stop suddenly they hit you. There needs to be a word for what it is called when pedestrians do it. If tail gating is named after the rear part of a car, should it be called ’bumming’? Rear ending? perhaps. I was walking with my daughter in her pram in a somewhat busy but not the congestion of London urban shopping district. A group of young-ish people were behind me and they were following closely. Instead of simply saying excuse me and passing by, they surrounded me making me listen to their puerile conversation, until my daughter unexpectedly (like r4 ) hopped out of her pram forcing me to stop. As you can imagine they crashed into me, and I was so fed up. I couldn’t really control the look that crossed my face and the young woman turned around and said ’what’s your problem’. To which I replied ’I teach my 3 year old to say excuse me’. Unfortunately they got abusive and nasty as they were walking away, and fortunately they were walking away so I didn’t really hear what they said. I just don’t understand why people aren’t more considerate in crowded urban spaces. It isn’t like me to yell back, and I am still not sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
