Simple Ways To Avoid Stress



Given our busy schedules, it’s rather impossible for us to completely avoid stress. However, there are ways for us to ease up a bit, and make things a little lighter and easier to bear. You don’t have to always be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.  Here are a few tips that can help.



Don’t sweat the small stuff. 

If someone forgot to refill the paper tray of the printer, don’t allow yourself to get all agitated over such a simple matter. Just ask someone to fill it up or better yet, refill it yourself! Don’t waste time, effort, and emotions screaming your head off over something that you don’t need to be stressed about. Spare yourself the heart attack.

Keep an open mind. Listen.

Sometimes we tend to draw conclusions that infuriate us because we chose not to listen to someone’s explanation. Sometimes we make false presumptions that disappoint us because we did not take time to dig deeper into the situation.

You have to learn to manage your temper, and make sure it’s not full blown for all the wrong reasons. Learn to communicate two-way. Listen to what other people have to say. And keep your mind to the possibility that your convictions may differ from that of others.

Three Reasons Why Young Kids Learn to Speak a Second Language Quickly

Children learn a second language easier compared to adults. This is true in most cases but not all the time. They learn a second language faster than adults would when they have a reason for learning it. This comes with other factors as well. They are the following. Brain readiness - Children especially young ones are wired to learn language in the first few years of their lives. They unconsciously acquire the second language naturally when they're exposed to two languages. They have to learn the second language consciously - usually by studying it - when they get older. The same is true for adults. Consequently, language acquisition becomes more difficult. Lack of complexity - Young children don't need to master the complexity of language. On the other hand, older children and adults need to master complex parts of the language in order to communicate well. This shows that young children have fewer things to learn while older children and adults have a lot to learn. T...
