Bad taughts about others bring down your immune system

             

‘Negativity and toxic thoughts about others brings down your immune system’

The effects of workplace gossip are mostly negative, especially for the person who is the subject of the gossip. The only way to reduce the negative effects of workplace gossip is to help silence it.

Many employees have a hard time confronting gossip in the workplace. It is not because it is difficult to talk about, too personal, or disrespectful. It is because gossip in the workplace is such an incredible waste of their time.

When an employee confides in another co-worker, the conversation should remain confidential. If words spoken in confidence become the subject of workplace gossip, it can result in co-workers losing trust in each other.

Gossipers come in two groups, the once that do not know the truth and talk in ignorance because someone else mentioned it, OR  the once that know the truth but are awfully jealous and feels that the person involved cannot or should not achieve such feat even if such feat is as minor as eating, sleeping or taking a vacation!

These gossipers forget that they also have very bad characters with loads of dirty linens and that every other person sees them as insensitive and immature in behaviour.

Reflections:Try, Try Again

         

It’s a lesson you should heed,

                Try, try again;

                If at first you don't succeed,

                Try, try again;

                Then your courage should appear,

                For, if you will persevere,

                You will conquer, never fear;

                Try, try again.

                Once or twice though you should fail,

                Try, try again;

                If you would at last prevail,

                Try, try again;

                If we strive, it is no disgrace

                Though we do not win the race;

                What should you do in the case?

                Try, try again.

                Time will bring you your reward,

                Try, try again.

                All that other folks can do,

                Why, with patience, should not you?

                Only keep this rule in view;

                Try, try again.---
Enjoy!

Wow! See These Great Health Benefits Of Honey

               

Honey is sweet. (We all know that), and it is a healthy addition to almost any meal. But honey has even more healthy uses in addition to being a natural sweetener. A lot of people claiming to sell original honey are actually selling cooked sugar or sugarcane syrup! (I wonder what they gain by deceiving people) but, if you can get the real honey-you will be glad you did.

Here are some natural uses of Honey:

Removes Acne

Honey is tough on acne thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Apply a small amount of honey to affected areas of your face to help the pimples disappear. Try this treatment overnight, Or simply use as a spot treatment, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse.

Skin Moisturizer

Honey is a great moisturizer and is even gentle enough for people with sensitive skin. One moisturizer recipe involves mixing four tablespoons of honey with two egg whites and a few tablespoons of flour (depending on your desired consistency); stir the mixture until it thickens, and apply is as a moisturizing face mask and/or body lotion.

To simplify things, you can also apply one teaspoon of honey onto clean skin and allow it to moisturize for 15-20 minutes; rinse with warm water. You can also add a small amount of honey to your warm bath water for softer water and softer skin.
