Work Out To Music

Cheat On Your Diet

Being too restrictive with what you eat can trigger cravings and feelings of deprivation that make adherence to a diet more challenging and increase the likelihood of overeating and giving up the goal of weight loss.

One of the best ways to avoid this situation is to schedule an instance during the week where you’re free to indulge in a snack or meal composed of food that’s normally avoided or limited on your diet. Here, you can eat whatever you want but only as long as it’s within reason.⁣ Once the snack or meal is over, immediately resume your diet instead of extending the higher calorie intake to another feeding opportunity.

That out of the way, cheating on your diet isn’t the only type of cheating that you might want to make a habit of doing. Continue reading Cheat On Your Diet

Walk Around On The Phone

How active are your phone conversations?

Sure, you interject with short responses, ask questions, and periodically repeat what was said by the person on the other end to demonstrate that you’re listening but what about actual movement, such as walking around?

Walking around during a phone call is commonly done as a way to express emotions and engage more fully in the conversation in the absence of certain types of feedback that are normally present when people speak to each other in person. In addition to making up for the lack of body language and non-verbal cues that are inherent with phone-based communication, walking while talking on the phone may also help with the release of stress and nervous energy. Talking on the phone in a state of motion instead of being stationary is an involuntary action in some people but the behavior might be something that you should consider doing willingly, especially at work.

That’s right, instead of kicking your feet on your desk and leaning back in your chair like you usually do, you might want to purposely remove yourself from the comfort of your seat to walk around the office when making and receiving calls!

Should you do that to go out of your way to distract and annoy your coworkers? To scatter your conversation among various people so no one person is privy to the entirety of it? To be performative so hopefully your hire-ups can see you’re on the phone and are getting work done?

All of those are indeed sound reasons for walking while talking on the phone at work but there’s another reason… Continue reading Walk Around On The Phone
