CREATING WORK-LIFE BALANCE AS RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH

Mental Health has to do with One's emotional well-being, especially with reference to one's outlook on life, ability to cope with stress, or the absence of a mental disorder.  Seeing the busyness of our today’s society, it is important we take our health seriously especially our mental health.

The Place of God can’t be replaced in our lives as believers but at the same time, it’s not to say we should neglect our part in ensuring that we have a good balance in all that we do. It is vital to have motivation in life, what is your motivation in life? What are those things that keep you going even when the road is rough? As individuals, we should have a personal well we draw our motivations from.

Mental disorder in the community is most times underestimated which isn’t supposed because the state of one's mental health plays a big role in one's productivity and relations to life in general. Mental challenges represent a huge lacuna in one's life and should be placed at a great checkpoint.

Some of the causes and triggers of work-related stress can be related to Long Hours at Work, Heavy Workload, Job Insecurity, and Poor Salary, Conflicts with Co-workers and Bosses. You should ensure to break down your schedules at work to enable you to tackle them one at a time, so as to avoid spending unnecessary long hours at work.

Also as believers, we are commanded to be at peace with all men including our colleagues and boss. If you feel you are not secured at your workplace then take it to God in prayers and be sure God is always ready to go in action for His children. Rather than relying on Substances like (Tramadol, Codeine, Alcohol, e.t.c) to feel well, you should rely on God to give you the best relief from the stress you are going through.

Once you have the Holy Spirit, He will help you ease your work performance rather than Reduce work performance. As believers, Jesus Christ has taken away Depression from us and has given us His peace that passes all understanding.

Anxiety and fear of the unknown He has replaced with an assurance that He will be with you always even till the end of time. Even if you are having Sleeping difficulty  (insomnia). His words have guaranteed us to give us good sleep.

 After looking through these, some of the things we need to improve and enhance one's work-life: While the Bible reckons that bodily Exercise profits but a little, with the busy schedule of many, we should engage in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day to ease stress and unwind. We should also ensure we eat healthily and watch our diet, where possible have routine massage therapy and yoga.

The Bible also talked about Meditation, this is a wonderful relaxation technique and we are encouraged to apply it to our daily life. During holidays we should consider traveling and sightseeing. Going to places we haven’t been before and just relaxing as much as we can.

Some of the disorders related to work stress:

  1. Moodswing
  2. Depression
  3. Insomnia
  4. Eating disorder
  5. Anxiety disorder 
  6. Weight loss
  7. High blood pressure.

Please do not keep anything to yourself when going through this phase, open to someone. To be happy or sad is your choice, choose happiness as it is suggested by doctors and helps in making one feel lighter.

LOVE, A GIFT

Image
On Valentine’s Day we express love to others and that is good, often a romanticizing of love but sometimes just a friendly acknowledgement of people we care about. God created everything and is also the origin of love. In God's perspective, love means being ready to sacrifice your life for someone. It can be so easy to get wrapped up in the sweet celebration of love for each other that we forget where all this love really came from. We love each other because He first loved us. — 1 John 4:19 Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just about us. If we are as intentional about loving Him as we are about loving each other, the whole day can still bring glory to the Creator. Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. — James 1:17 Love is a discipline. Jesus said, "If you love me just as I have loved you, keep my commandments." God has shown us his love, so we must keep to the discipline of love. If u don't do

WHAT IF EASTER DIDN'T EXIST?

Image
Death laid his hands on Jesus. It put Jesus in a tomb. There was a stone in the mouth of that tomb and the seal of the Roman government was placed upon that tomb. But on the third day, Jesus Christ stirred Himself. He rose from the sleep of death, Jesus Christ passed through the walls of that rock-hewn tomb. Jesus Christ is Alive. He is not behind us in a tomb but before us on a throne. I want to ask you a question. Suppose that had not happened. Suppose death still held Jesus like it does to those that died before him and after him? WHAT IF EASTER DIDN'T EXIST? 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. I’ll admit, it’s a loaded question. Much like, “What if you were never born?” That question is heavy, strong, and loaded. But this question, "WHAT IF EASTER DIDN'T EXIST?" should be considered very carefully. Because the truth is, an entire faith hinges upon this event. Churches today exist because they believe in Easter, in the resurrection. Countless millions of people place their fai

RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

Image
The idea of RELATIONSHIP when it involves the two opposite sex has been bastardized with so many movie scenes giving us the wrong picture. Little wonder why a lot of people fall for the wrong reasons. There is no one way fit all when we talk about a meeting of two opposite sex that then lead into relationships but at the same time, some pictorial ideologies are not true.  The right one won't always come with flowers and Valentine's love letters. They won't always come on romantic dates, movie nights out, or in a New Year's fireworks show.  They won't always have to be the one who sleeps next to you in a high school field trip, the one who films you in a beach get-away, or the one whom you wanted to be your most awaited prom dance. They won't always come on a perfect night, watching the full moon beside you, on the top of your neighbor's roof.  They won't always come along with butterflies in your stomach, racing heartbeats, and blushing cheeks. Sometimes
