Work Out To Work Well

In order to do whatever job it is you are trying to do in a physical or mental arena, the smartest way to ensure good results is ...to work out! Studying, training for a specific task via courses or on the job tasks is a given, but the true way to make the most of your abilities is to get moving. By giving your body a physical workout on a regular basis and raising your heart rate for 30 to 45 minutes will ensure a good boost of blood flow to the brain. When this happens you not only get to release endorphins and reduce stress, you handle later stresses better, and open up your brain function to working on a more efficient and creative level. By fast paced walking, or a good aerobic activity of your choice, running, biking, etc., you engage the mind in a whole new arena. Keep a pad and pen on you and write down new ideas or solutions that may pop into your head.

On the physical side, per the manual labor side, you will condition your body to withstand physical and mental stresses that your job doles out on a regular basis. Take the nurse and her patients...lifting people out of bed, or helping someone out of a chair, and that list can go on and on. The body and mind takes a toll, and these stresses can be reduced drastically by regular workouts. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or over the top either. Walk briskly, do some stair climbing, and do some core training with crunches, squats and push ups a few days a week for about 30 minutes. You will feel a difference, get stronger, be better at your job, make a better impression to others at work, and be less prone to injury, no matter what your career. You will also be healthier. So in a nut shell, eat lots of veggies, focus on positive instead of negative, and work out for physical, mental, spiritual ...and even occupational health. Be strong! Preserve and empower your life!! Merry Christmas!
