You are not a before picture

I recently listened to You are not a before picture by Alex Light, this was my 5th read of the year and my first book in the challenge to read a little bit more non-fiction this year. This book delves into body image, diet culture, the history of diets as a concept and how to break free of the dieting cycle. It is full of personal anecdotes of Alex's own journey with diet culture but it also includes quotes and passages from Doctors, psychologists, nutritionists and body positivity influencers from marginalised communities. This is a book that I think could benefit a lot of people and be the first step towards breaking free of the whole 'diet starts monday' mentality.

How to Talk to Kids about Bullying #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksv2QIyhcjE If your child is being bullied, please, don’t just tell them to “ignore it.” They need tools, not silence. They need your voice reminding them that they’re not alone, and that it’s okay to speak up. Here are 3 powerful ways to help your child respond to bullying: 1️⃣ Name the behavior: Say, “That sounds like bullying behavior. No one deserves to be treated that way.” 2️⃣ Practice power scripts: Help them say, “That’s not okay,” or “Cut it out,” until the words feel natural and strong. 3️⃣ Offer backup plans: Give them language to ask for help, “I’m not okay with this”, and walk toward safety, not just away. And remember, telling an adult is not tattling. It’s standing up for yourself. You’re not raising a target. You’re raising a voice. Let’s help our kids learn how to use it. 📘 I share more on how to talk to kids about bullying, boundaries, and bravery in my book How to Talk to Kids About Anything.

How to Combat Hourglass Syndrome to Boost Productivity?

Share Post:

LinkedIn

Twitter

Reddit

As the world recovers from the effects of the pandemic, more and more people are shifting to remote work. In the process, an increasing number of individuals are grappling with a new adversary: Hourglass Syndrome. This pervasive phenomenon entails the sense of time slipping away, resulting in reduced productivity and heightened stress levels. 

In this guide, we’ll share some simple strategies to tackle this syndrome in your home office. As more people embrace remote work globally, addressing Hourglass Syndrome becomes crucial. Join us on this journey to understand and overcome this productivity challenge. Discover practical insights to regain control over your time, enhance productivity, and make your work experience more satisfying. 

Hourglass Syndrome Symptoms

Hourglass Syndrome is a prevalent issue among remote workers, marked by the perception of time slipping away without achieving substantial work. The absence of a traditional office environment can make it challenging to maintain focus and structure, giving rise to this productivity-draining phenomenon.

Identifying the Symptoms

Recognizing the symptoms is crucial for addressing Hourglass Syndrome effectively:

Procrastination: Deliberately delaying tasks and feeling overwhelmed.

Distractions: Succumbing to interruptions from emails, social media, or household chores.

Lack of Progress: Spending extended hours working but feeling unproductive.

Strategies to Combat Hourglass Syndrome:

1. Set Clear Goals and Prioritize Tasks 

Establishing clear daily and weekly goals will provide you with direction and help you stay organized. Prioritize your tasks based on urgency and importance to avoid feeling overwhelmed by an endless to-do list. Break down your larger goals into manageable steps, providing a roadmap for your work.

2. Create a Dedicated Workspace 

https://enterprisewired.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2.1-Create-a-Dedicated-Workspace.jpg

Designate a specific area in your home for work to create a psychological boundary between professional and personal life. A well-organized and ergonomic workspace positively impacts focus and productivity. Ensure your workspace is free from distractions and conducive to a productive mindset.

3. Time Blocking Techniques 

Implement time blocking to allocate specific time slots for different tasks. This method enhances concentration, reduces multitasking, and ensures focused attention to each activity. Set aside dedicated blocks of time for deep work, allowing for undisturbed focus on critical tasks.

4. Combat Procrastination with the Pomodoro Technique 

Break your work into short, focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) followed by a short break. This technique enhances concentration and reduces the risk of burnout. To make it more effective, experiment with different time intervals to find what works best for your attention span and workflow.

5. Take Regular Breaks 

Scheduled breaks are essential for maintaining mental clarity and preventing burnout. Step away from your desk, stretch, or go for a short walk to recharge your mind. Incorporate relaxation techniques during breaks, such as deep breathing exercises, to promote overall well-being.

6. Minimize Distractions 

Identify and eliminate potential distractions in your home office. Turn off non-essential notifications, create a quiet environment, and communicate your work hours to family members. Consider using productivity apps or website blockers to limit access to distracting sites during work hours.

7. Incorporate Mindfulness Practices 

Introduce mindfulness practices like meditation or deep-breathing exercises into your routine. These techniques reduce stress and improve overall focus. Consider starting or ending your workday with a short mindfulness session to create a positive mindset.

8. Establish a Routine 

Create a consistent daily routine that includes set start and end times for work. This helps signal to your brain when it’s time to shift into work mode and when to unwind. Include rituals at the beginning and end of your workday to create a sense of structure and transition.

9. Invest in Ergonomic Furniture 

Comfortable and ergonomic furniture significantly impacts physical well-being and overall productivity. Ensure your home office setup supports good posture and reduces discomfort. Invest in an ergonomic chair, keyboard, and monitor to create a workspace that promotes health and efficiency.

Bonus Strategies to Enhance Productivity 

10. Utilize Technology Wisely 

Embrace various productivity tools and apps to streamline your workflow. Calendar apps, task management tools, and communication platforms can help you stay organized and on track. Leverage automation features to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.

11. Stay Connected 

Combat feelings of isolation by staying connected with colleagues. Schedule regular virtual meetings, participate in online team-building activities, and maintain open communication channels. A sense of connection can foster collaboration and motivation.

12. Professional Development

https://enterprisewired.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2.3-Professional-Development.jpg

Invest your time in continuous learning and professional development. Acquiring new skills can boost your confidence and motivation, making you more resilient to Hourglass Syndrome. Furthermore, explore online courses, webinars, and industry events to stay abreast of trends and advancements.

13. Healthy Lifestyle Choices 

Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep. Physical well-being contributes to mental alertness and overall productivity. Incorporate short exercise breaks into your routine and prioritize self-care to enhance your resilience to stress.

14. Create a Visual Progress Tracker 

Establish a visual progress tracker for your tasks and projects. This can be a physical board or a digital tool. Tracking your progress visually provides a sense of accomplishment and motivates you to stay focused on your goals.

Conclusion 

Combating Hourglass Syndrome requires a holistic approach that encompasses mindful practices, effective time management, and a conducive workspace. By implementing these strategies, you can regain control over your time, boost productivity, and cultivate a healthier work-life balance in your home office. Remember, small adjustments to your daily routine and environment can make a significant difference in your work experience.

No Makeup, No Problem: Embracing My True Self

My "No Makeup" Beauty Look is all about looking natural, radiant, and easy while highlighting my attributes and feeling at ease in my own skin. This quick and simple approach focuses on enhancing my natural beauty without the need of heavy makeup.

The first step in my "No Makeup" Beauty Look is skincare. A blank canvas is essential for natural shine. I start by cleansing my skin with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove any impurities. After patting my skin dry, I use a lightweight moisturizer with SPF to protect it from the sun's harmful rays while also keeping it hydrated throughout the day.

Instead of a heavy foundation, I use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. These products provide light coverage that helps to level out my skin tone without feeling heavy or cakey. The plan is to let my natural skin shine through while concealing any little faults.

To add color and definition to my face, I lightly apply a peachy-pink blush to the apples of my cheeks. This produces a light flush of color as well as a healthy, youthful appearance. To keep the appearance realistic, I avoid hard contouring and excessive blushing.

I keep my eyes simple with a couple of coats of mascara on my lashes or some natural false lashes. Mascara instantly brightens and defines my eyes, removing the need for eyeliner or other cosmetics. Depending on my mood, I apply brown or black mascara to accentuate my lashes and make my eyes glitter.

To keep my brows in place and provide a polished look without overfilling them, I use a clear brow gel. Natural and well-groomed brows frame the face attractively and add to the overall "No Makeup" Beauty Look.

I like a natural-looking tinted lip balm or translucent lip gloss for the lips. These creams offer a splash of color while also nourishing my lips throughout the day. This style is all about subtle augmentation rather than a dramatic transformation.

To finish off my "No Makeup" Beauty Look, I use a little dusting of translucent powder to remove shine and keep my makeup in place. Rather than a matte finish, the goal is to achieve a dewy, fresh-faced sheen.

One of the most appealing characteristics of its design is its versatility. It's perfect for wearing to work, doing errands, or meeting up with friends for a casual event. The "No Makeup" Beauty Look is low-maintenance and easy to achieve, saving time in my morning routine while yet making me feel put together and confident.

Furthermore, this appearance matches to my principles of natural beauty appreciation and self-acceptance. It allows me to enjoy my unique traits while also embracing my shortcomings, promoting a positive body image and self-confidence.

Overall, my "No Makeup" Beauty Look is all about simplicity, enhancing natural beauty, and feeling at ease in my own skin. It's a fresh and simple method to apply makeup that complements any style and promotes honesty and self-love.

Today, the first group has started to report and discuss about, Physical self. The group started to conduct a quick game before starting to discuss the lesson. Physical self encompasses how we perceived and evaluate our appearance. Culture affects body image of an individividual which becomes Negative body image. This body inage causes a person to be critical with her appearance, insecure and dissatisfied with her own body. It is because they are influence to different beauty standards here in our country and they feel pressured to meet those standard beacuse they wan't to have a sense of belonging or validation from other people. Which mostly causes eating disorders that can ruin your physical health. In todays lesson i've realized that i'm not belong to those have negative body image. And i'm thankful that i'm contented and confident with my own body regardless of what other people think or say about me. Advocating positive body image should be done to spread awareness and positivity to all people that they are worthy and beautiful regardless of what other people think about their body.

Your scars are not your story; they are badges of resilience. Embrace them as symbols of your strength, your courage, and your journey. They tell a tale of overcoming, of rising above, of finding beauty even in the darkest of times. Let your scars be a source of inspiration, a reminder of your unwavering spirit. You are more than your wounds; you are a testament to the power of human resilience.

The Power of Feeling Happy with Yourself in the Mirror 🌟💪

Ever wondered how feeling good about yourself in the mirror can impact your overall health? It’s more powerful than you might think! Here’s why embracing self-love and positivity can benefit your well-being:

1. Boosts Mental Health Positive self-image can reduce stress and anxiety. When you feel happy with yourself, you're less likely to be affected by negative self-talk, leading to a more relaxed state of mind.

2. Enhances Confidence Feeling good about your reflection boosts your self-confidence. This confidence can spill over into various areas of your life, including your career, relationships, and personal goals.

3. Promotes Healthy Habits When you love and respect yourself, you're more likely to engage in activities that support your health, such as exercising regularly, eating nutritious foods, and practicing self-care.

4. Improves Body Image Positive self-perception helps improve body image. When you see yourself positively, you're more likely to appreciate your body for what it can do rather than how it looks.

How to Teach Kids to Aim Excellence and not Perfection #shorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY20N9kcWHM Let’s raise kids who strive for excellence, not perfection. Perfection is pressure. Excellence is growth. And when we teach our kids the difference, we empower them to take healthy risks, bounce back from setbacks, and feel proud of their effort, not just the outcome. Here are 3 ways to shift the mindset at home: 1️⃣ Praise the process, not just the product. 2️⃣ Normalize mistakes as part of learning. 3️⃣ Redefine what “doing your best” really means. Your best doesn’t mean flawless, it means you showed up and gave what you had that day. And that is enough. Let’s raise resilient kids who feel confident trying, failing, learning, and growing. 📘 I talk more about this in my book "How to Talk to Kids About Anything" Get your copy at www.DrRobynSilverman.com #HowToTalkToKids #GrowthMindset #ParentingTips #Perfectionism #ExcellenceOverPerfection #ResilientKids #PositiveParenting #RaisingConfidentKids #DrRobynSilverman via Dr. Robyn Silverman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2mhA6uAzX0vHYBoO9ncTg June 20, 2025 at 03:01AM

I’ve always been independent and if I wanted to do something growing up, I just did it. Nike style. ✔️⁣
⁣
I never thought I needed anybody to show up with me…I was strong, capable, and could do it by myself. I never asked for help.⁣
⁣
Until one day, I realized that this mindset was NOT serving me.⁣
⁣
Just because I can show up alone and get sh*t done by myself doesn’t mean I have to!⁣
⁣
So many times throughout my life people would offer to help me out or tag along, and I’d say, “Oh I’m good!”⁣
⁣
It wasn’t until I moved back to California after doing a wildlife rehab job in Oklahoma that I realized being independent didn’t have to mean being lonely. I felt like I had hit the “reset” button on life and was really lacking a sense of community.⁣
⁣
That was when I said yes to my coach and joined my first accountability group. And now, here I am, 3 years later, still showing up daily in my accountability group full of women who’ve joined me on this journey since then. ❤️️⁣
⁣
There’s something so freaking powerful about surrounding yourself with women who want to be the best versions of their bad*ass selves right alongside me.⁣
⁣
My coach is now one of my best friends and I am blown away by the lifelong friendships I’ve made through this community.⁣
⁣
Have you been craving connection, REAL friendships, and a community you can be yourself in? Drop an emoji below and let’s chat! 👊⁣
