Why it's important to balance work from home for healthy life:

- To All who are working from Home,

(published as received)

I want to share one bad experience of my friend's friend who was working from home.

He started working from home in march like all of us, due to team member's network issues, unavailability of laptops There was heavy workload on him, he used to work for 12-13 hrs, multiple calls, meetings, Lunch/breakfast along with work. After one month his right leg got slight swelling, he went to general physician.after few more days he started facing little difficulty while breathing. Considering this is normal, he ignored n continued to work as usual 12-13 hrs.

One day he suddenly collapsed and fainted, became unconscious for almost five minutes. His wife along with society members gave him first aid to gain consciousness. He immediately admitted hospital n moved to ICU for three days. Obviously covid test done for him, fortunately it was negative. Few more blood tests were done. Blood clots found in his legs. Doctor said prolonged sitting led to formation of blood clots in legs, once clots forms they can travel to lungs, one od the reason for his breathing issue.

He took leave for one month. He called me shared this experience and told me that this incident changed him completely about his views towards life, work and how important health is.

Your health should be of the utmost importance and at the top of your priority list. When your health is not in good condition, every other aspect of your life suffers.

So many of us working like this ingoring body singnal. I just want to request you all to avoid sitting for long hours continuously, take 5-10 min break after every 2 hrs, take small walk. Avoid work from bed, sofa, maintain proper posture, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day.

Just wanted to share this with you all, as most of people currently working from home. Please please avoid sitting for long hours without taking breaks.

share this message with all your friends who are WFH.

Right attitude is a great power (story):

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Why people at big companies are happy:

- Lets refresh our memories - employees are emotional creatures. Events from personal life affect professional life and vice versa. - Healthy work-life balance means different things to different people. Top companies realize there is no one-size-fits-all approach – they don’t tell employees HOW to achieve work-life balance. - As long as employees feel they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves, they remain engaged. Merge this with the freedom to design professional career path and the well-planned learning opportunities to succeed on those paths. Click to read full article from LinkedIn:

Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential:

- *"NOT EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY"* "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants." ~ Henry David Thoreau. The question is, what are we busy about? Knocking out a hundred tasks for whatever the reason is a poor substitute for doing even one task that is meaningful. Not everything matters equally, and success is not a game won by whoever does the most. Yet that is exactly how most play it on a daily basis. "The things which are most important does not always scream the loudest" ~ Bob Hawke Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day. Achievers do Sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do Sooner. The different is not in intent, but in a right of way. Achievers always work from a sense of priority. Source: received through whatsapp

Do you think people hurt you:

- Do you want to know the philosophy of why you get hurt when people say something; then this article is for you. You might have come across people telling you, “You are very disturbing”. “I don’t like the way you behave” “You don’t know how to cook a good food” “You are not productive at work” Do the above kind of attitudes from others affect and hurt you? Well, you should not be offended when they say something to you, or comment something on your behaviour, calm yourself down and think of it as their perspective or a joke for the day. I know it’s not so easy to practice. Tell yourself the person who is the potential offender has as much right to his opinion as you do to yours. Besides, they’re only words. They are not judgements on you. What can words do? They certainly can’t break your bones! Have a philosophy that ‘words-will-never-hurt-me’ it’s a very important philosophy of communication in any relationship. Think that people ar...
