To get all the potential benefits—and avoid the pitfalls—naps need to be used correctly. I can’t count the number of patients I have who try to catch some rest during the day, only to have their naps interfere with their nighttime sleep and throw their sleep-wake cycles out of sync! And all they wanted was some much-needed rest.

Quickly, let’s talk through good napping. Then I’ll show you nine types of naps you can choose from.

Here’s a quick recap on the benefits of napping, which are pretty powerful. Naps can:

• Boost your brain function, including focus, accuracy, and concentration

• Enhance your creativity

• Improve your critical thinking skills

• Lower your stress levels and lift your mood

• Give you more energy and improve your physical performance

When it comes to napping, choose wisely. Know first what you want to get out of your nap, before you decide when and for how long you’ll sleep.

• Are you looking to re-claim mental sharpness in your busy working afternoons?

• Want to have more power and energy for your end-of-day gym session?

• Need to prepare for—or recover from—a long-distance trip?

The timing and duration of your nap depends a lot on your individual needs and circumstances. Those needs and circumstances change over time—which mean your nap needs change, too.

March madness has arrived and the time has come for us to see the greatness which is the NCAA Tournament. The lessons we learn each year from teams in this tournament is amazing and shouldn’t be unspoken . Pay attention and watch the greatness unfold . Lots of lessons to be learned and can be learned .

Sometimes you’ve already arrived but we allow others to skew our perspective and change the direction in which we would prefer to go

What’s stopping you from being great ? It’s you

Re write the code , you can change the outcome by believing in yourself.

Let the walk , speak louder than the talk.

Firstly, and most importantly, moving past toxic relationships requires true acceptance of the fact that you can’t force toxic people to change. They may imply that they can change, or you may yearn to be the one who can help them become better, but this is almost always a hopeless project.

Toxic people are not motivated by what’s good for them or for their relationship with you. They’re motivated by their own complex problems and needs. When you give up the desire to change them, it’s much easier to let them go.

Manipulative and toxic people drain your resources by constantly pushing you to work harder to please them, making you compromise more and more. This is exhausting and transgresses all acceptable relationship boundaries.

Give some serious thought to what you will tolerate and what you won’t from partners, family members, colleagues, and friends.

When you get a sense that something’s not right in your interactions with someone, run through your mental boundary checklist and enforce these boundaries deliberately and rigidly.

FIGHT TOXICICITY AND RUN YOUR LIFE

The time is now for you to win. Don’t waste anymore time. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT

Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events.

Fear is a natural emotion and a survival mechanism. When we confront a perceived threat, our bodies respond in specific ways. Physical reactions to fear include sweating, increased heart rate, and high adrenaline levels that make us extremely alert. This physical response is also known as the “fight or flight” response, in which your body prepares itself to either enter combat or run away. This biochemical reaction is likely an evolutionary development. It’s an automatic response that is crucial to our survival.

The emotional response to fear is highly personalized. Because fear involves some of the same chemical responses in our brains that positive emotions like happiness and excitement do, feeling fear under certain circumstances can be seen as fun, like when you watch scary movies. Some people are adrenaline junkies, thriving on extreme sports and other fear-inducing thrill situations. Others have a negative reaction to the feeling of fear, avoiding fear-inducing situations at all costs. Although the physical reaction is the same, fear may be perceived as either positive or negative, depending on the person.

Causes of Fear

Fear is incredibly complex. Some fears may be a result of experiences or trauma, while others may actually represent a fear of something else entirely, such as a loss of control. Still other fears may occur because they cause physical symptoms, such as being afraid of heights because they make you feel dizzy and sick to your stomach, even if you’re simply watching a video or looking at a picture and in no actual danger.

Scientists are trying to understand exactly what fear is and what causes it, but this is a supremely difficult undertaking in light of the differences between individuals in terms of what they fear and why. Not to mention that there is no agreement between scientists who study fear as to whether it’s a sort of behavior that’s only observable or something our brains are physically wired to do.

Repeated exposure to similar situations leads to familiarity. This greatly reduces both the fear response and the resulting elation, leading adrenaline junkies to seek out ever new and bigger thrills. It also forms the basis of some phobia treatments, which depend on slowly minimizing the fear response by making it feel familiar.
