Different Reasons for Neglecting our Wellness

Healthy living is not only about the food we eat, but also about our lifestyle, of how we often neglect our wellness to provide ourselves satisfaction in the many aspects of our lives. Here are some of the few things of how we neglect our wellness absent-mindedly:

Workaholics and Partyphiles While workaholics champion this crusade in order to get the job done, partyphiles will probably party more, sleep less.

According to the latest Wellness Philippines news, many companies pride themselves in a work ethic of being on call 24/7. Though some may consider this admirable, but enlightened business leaders advocate wellness in the workplace. This calls for the “don’t bring your work home” policy.

This is a practice where employees are encouraged to leave what they do in their workplaces and bring only themselves at home. Although many slave-driving bosses expect their employees be at their beck and call even at odd hours of the night, this usually depends on their employee. One could just as easily turn off their mobile phones to provide them the relaxation they require to tackle tomorrow's workload. However, this is a different case among call center agents whose world have become upside-down.

Bingeing partygoers are another story. Partying nightly from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. seems to be the fad. And if you are a non-alcoholic, you will be missing out on the fun, say the heavy drinkers.

Alcohol is a much-abused substance, just like caffeine. And both could be misused by driven individuals to stay awake or to relax. While alcohol is considered a party drink, it is a depressant. And mixing it with drugs can only cause health complications, maybe even death.

Being Miserable In addition to workaholics and partyphiles, there is also the feeling of misery that can greatly affect our wellness. This, however, can be easily solved by splashing cold water to slap you back to reality. There is also exercising and keeping busy so as to avoid wallowing on our misery.

Take the case of Annie, a once-married woman whose husband abandoned her and their two kids. Penniless after he withdrew support, she was forced to get a job. She could have kept herself paralyzed with bitterness. Instead, she took her life in her own hands. Today she has a flourishing business in insurance.

Grumpiness Being grumpy at a daily basis can also affect our wellbeing, as well as our social life, and one popular solution that many of us have used to relieve ourselves of being grumpy is by treating ourselves to some pleasurable activities, such as eating gallons of ice cream or shopping.

This practice, however, is not advisable. According to latest Philippines Lifestyle news, eating gallons of ice cream will not make you any happier. In fact, the result could be indigestion and high blood sugar.

As for shopping, like many women usually do when grumpy, they usually end up pilling up bills and maxing out their credit limit which in a month can cause them to get grumpy again.

The best way to solve grumpiness is to just turn you to an agreeable mood. You will feel lighter, and what is more important, others will respond to you in a more positive way.
