work stress

To talk about “stress”, from my point of view, is very difficult, because it does not manifest in the same form or intensity in all of population.

Looking for a definition, I found the next: “It is about the “nervous tension” caused by overwhelming situations, which cause psychosomatic reactions.
Stress is physical or psychological demand out of the ordinary, causing an anxious state in the body."

The stress depends on personal characteristics, so that sometimes we don´t recognize the symptoms of this.
The stress can manifest physical (chest tightness, tachycardia, hair falls, increased breathlessness, muscle tension, fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, corporal tremors, etc) emotional (worry, feeling of nervousness, anxiety, irritability, felt like crying, catastrophic thinking, impaired memory, constant mood swings, depression, etc) and behavioral (nervous laugh, grind his/her teeth, drinking or smoking more frequently, sexual problems, nervous tic, oversleep or insomnia, etc).
Is important we recognize the signs of stress because when stress is part of our daily lives, we got used to it. We don´t realize how it affects our health and our lives in general, until we get sick or problems beyond us.

In general, stress can be caused by any stimulus that promotes the destabilization of the dynamic equilibrium of body.

I would say that the people most affected by work stress problems are those who work with many people (as school teachers, bus drivers or ER staff) or those having a routine life and don´t give themselves time to do extracurricular activities.

Is important that we know that when this situation persists, emerging health problems or impact on other areas of life of the individual. For example, stress that began with an economic problem, can cause family or work coflicts.

Healthy lifestyle

Hello classmates!

I tell you… I think that having a healthy lifestyle in our days is a big challenge, however it is not impossible.
I remember one class last term, in the subject “Community health”, and the teacher talked about this topic.
In general, when you talk about healthy lifestyle, people think only about “food”. For this reason, most of the population, when they want to live healthily, they simply go on a "diet". But I remember that that day we concluded that this means more…
First, we must be clear that a healthy lifestyle involves our whole being, I mean the physical, the psychic and even spiritual part.
Of course, you must eat all of the food pyramid (carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, proteins in the meet and eggs, fish, and sugar too). And you must eat it in the right amount.
For your body also you need to take exercises, and it was better if you are led by an expert, at least three times at week.

Second, you should try not to stress (this is bad for your health), however, you must take it all in stride, enjoy the time you have to share with your family, your friends, your boyfriend / girlfriend and with the nature, overcoat in the holidays time.
For you to feel good about yourself, you should wear clothing that suits you (this is also part of a healthy lifestyle), not too tight and not fabrics that can cause allergy.

Finally, for you have a healthy lifestyle, you need have a relationship with your creator, God.

my favourite get-away

Good afternoon!
The truth is that I have been hard to choose a place on which to write, for I believe that I have not a "favourite get-away". If I could choose a "virtual space", I'd take a hug (SPACE between the arms) of three important people in my life: my mother, my mommy (grandmother) and my boyfriend. However, as I believe I have to talk about a geographical location, I will tell you about "LICANRAY".
This town is near the city "Villarica", in south of Chile.

Licanray is a peaceful place where I've gone a couple of times during my family vacation, a few years ago. This is very quiet, is a small town and everyone there is very welcoming.

I like it because I can spend nice and quiet family days, where there isn´t so much technology, so I can enjoy and contemplate nature. There are very beautiful landscapes!
I love when I can look at the night sky and see the stars so close to me, especially when they are shooting stars!

I remember that we rented a house near the lake, which had many rooms and beds (to 15 persons, and we were only 6! jajaja). As the town is small, we were walking to the center. There traders selling exquisite raspberry kuchens! And always there was craft fairs to enjoy.
Summer days, if you haven´t cloudy days, you can go swimming at Lake Villarica. The water is warm and crystal clear ...

I invite you to visit Licanray!

the book that impact me...

The truth, I`m not a fanatic of music (I don´t follow some singer or group). I will say that the music is a good companion, but only that, is a good companion.

So, I will choose the topic “books”. To be honest, I haven’t developed my “humanistic area”, however I have a book that made an impact in me, until today.

In this opportunity, I share with you about the Bible.

The Bible is the “Word of God”. I think it was inspired by him, and it has EVERYTHING written... the start, the future and today.

I believe in a living God, and this is His living word ... what is written there was valid for that time (many years ago) ... and so it is for today! So it is so wonderful!
In fact the Bible is a collection of books (66 in total). It is a "compilation", by telling some way, of historical, romantic, poetic and prophetic books. Though its big message is that God loves us, he let his son die for all mankind, to save us from the punishment of sin (which we make almost daily, to put it mildly): an eternal death, separated from Him.

I read it weekly (although I'd like to read daily), in my bedroom, in the dining room with my family, in the church and even in the university, in the GBU (bible university group)… always you have something new to discover, about God, and about what God advises you to live a full life.

My experience blogging.

:O this is a last blog!
It sounds like a farewell… then in any meaning it is a rest, because you know this semester is coming to the end! Wow!!!

If I could make a summary of my experience with the “writing on my blog”, I would say that it was easier than I thought, but more boring too.

In general, my most typical mistakes were about the verb “have”… I forgot to use “has” with third person in grammatical. And the most part of the time I never know when and how use the verb “do” as auxiliary verb.

Also, I remember one of the most common errors committed was forget to put the subject in the sentence, and I just put the verb (as in Spanish)… I`m still doing it. I think this is because we have not learned to "think in English" and certainly this will take us a long time.

However I learn some words that help me to connect ideas. The truth I know very little vocabulary, so at first time write in the blog was very hard for me.

I usually liked a lot to read of publications in the blogs of my classmates. Whenever they had something interesting to write ... Camy, Pía, Kim, or Brisa such as when she wrote about her talent in painting ... that was very interesting!

Finally, I think that was novel to have a blog (of course also make use of it in English classes)

This would be all for today ... maybe one day I come back here.

Blessings!
Love to all!

do you have a ideal job?

Yes I do...

As you read my reviews in the past, the truth is that I have no plans to work a long time, however I would like my job was in the south of my country. It is a gentle, calm and cozy place.

Despite the cold, this is one of those places where you'd like your children grow.

Of course, I would like work in the Public system. To be with persons, attend to pregnancy women to give them the care better, regardless of their income level.

If I could choose I would be in charge of the care area of high risk pregnancies, but also I would like work attending deliveries as natural as possible in some hours of my days… even deliveries in home!
I think that the normal pregnancies, with mothers in good state, we should intervene as little as possible, and we must allow them to live an unforgettable, familiar and comfortable moments.

I definitely prefer to have only shedules in the day (morning and afternoon) but not at night, because it is most tiring. I would like work with responsible, friendly and respectful people… of course everybody want to work in an environment like this!

To conclude I think the best job that I can get will be one to allow me to have family life and where my work is well recognized.

indescribable

When we are free to decide about what is the topic to write I don´t know what to write! Is incredible, no?

Mmm… talking about things incredible, have you any idea about what is incredible? if you don´t have the same idea of me in your head, then you don´t know what is the truly incredible and indescribable…
Well… it is GOD. Yes, is God.
Who else but the one who created heaven, sea and land, and, as if this were not enough, He using all his creativity put the stars in the sky (and the Bible say: He knows each one by name) and we can admire it every night (actually they are beautiful).
Then I see the sea, huge and beautiful with many colours (of course in de depth of the sea), with fishes of different shapes, size and colours…
And the mountain… the mountain is great, when it is full of snow in winter or vegetated slopes in spring. I think that is God who gives us the gift of seasons.

No much time ago, I saw a video of preaching, in a concert, and the preacher showed some pictures of the universe… thousands of stars and galaxies very far from our planet, and much larger than our "Milky Way"... then I said: "Oh my God, you are amazing! You created all things, and everything are beautiful! really you are huge, all powerfull and indescribable... and I am very, very, very small!"

However, You loves me! For your son I am saved, and I am sure that don`t care what happen... You will always be with me!
