“How To Stay Healthy While Having Hectic Work Schedules.”

Working can sometimes make you sick, and it happens when things get imbalanced. People focused more into career and neglect health issues. They are getting too focused on generating income; little do they know that it’s going to be insufficient when they get to pay doctors one day. According to recent statistics, 2.3 million die each year because of work-related issues. The main factor to this is a health problem; unhappiness, too much pressure, and unsafe workplace. In this article, I am going to discuss some of the popular ways on how to stay healthy while having hectic work schedules.

1.     Manage your time. Well allotted time increases productivity. It creates a sound atmosphere and keeps you away from wrong pressures, thus giving an excellent healthy body. I remember a time when I was working in a Japanese firm; they are strict in time discipline because they believe that mismanaged time can bring bad situations in our life. Well, they are referring to poor health because of unsound atmosphere brought by pressure. One good tip to organize time is by priority. Don’t linger too much on things that don’t provide a good outcome, consider which is more important and recognize the value. Maximize your resources; smartphones can help you become an efficient person. Use reminders and calendars to avoid missing essential tasks. According to Benjamin Franklin, “Lost time is never found again.”  So make sure you don’t mess with it.

2.    Hydrate. Proper intake of water can help you stay in good shape and in good condition. There are a lot of good things that water can do to your body. One of is making sure all your body cells have sufficient nutrient to function correctly in our body.  The human body uses water to almost all parts of the body, and it helps to regulate and maintain proper body function.  Without enough supply of this element, you will be prone to sickness as your body is not able to function correctly. One research concluded that lack of water in the body could lead to an uncomfortable feeling, and as someone who is so busy you don’t want this to happen to you. This will undoubtedly affect your productivity. Stay hydrated, stay healthy. Follow what is being told in grade school about proper intake of water. Six to eight glasses of it must be taken daily to maintain good health.

3.    Exercise (a bit). Like a busy bee, I understand that you may not have the ideal timing to have time and hit on the gym. If you have that extra time, then you may not be that busy at all. But if you find it hard to set a schedule for that hard exercise activity, you may choose to walk. There are these destinations wherein you are capable of walking, but you decide to avoid it. Instead of stepping into the elevator from 6^th floor to 7^th floor, why not take the stairs? It’s good for your legs, thighs, and lungs. Taking the stairs helps you burn calories; it enables you to reduce cardio risk and builds muscle tone as well. Another way of doing exercise in a bit is by doing sit-ups before you sleep. Five sit-ups won’t hurt you, and three push-ups will help you regulate blood through your body. Doing all these things will not take much of your time; it will help you become healthy and in good shape. The challenge in this part is the forming the habit. It’s not going to be easy, but with proper determination, you will be able to achieve success over this.

4.    Understanding. The mind is a battlefield of two opposing convictions; the good and the bad, the truth and the lie, the yes and the no. The human mind is also a significant factor to your health, as it can command the whole system of your body. If you are happy, your brain understands that you are so glad, so it sends out command in the body to feel glad. Same goes with stress. As your mind accepts the information that you are pressured and stressed, it will send a command to the body to act that way. So be careful with how you agree to things in your life, be creative to accept failure and defeat. If you look at failure as a challenge, you will not be thinking as a sore loser rather a successor in line. Therefore your brain will not have to command lousy things to your body, and you will feel great. You will not be feeling sick, and you will have a sound mind.

All these things are just some of the things that will help you stay in good shape and be productive as always. I understand that most of the times, people who work with hectic schedules get a lot of health issues. This is because work has been prioritized while health is considered second. Everything should be balanced. When one thing gets out of balance, it will have a cascade of effects in our life. After all, people should not forget that employment is supposed to make our life comfortable not horrible. As you have understood some practices from this writing, put into life what you have learned. Don’t just gather information and stock them into your head. Application of knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
