How Your Health is Affected by Everyday Activities

Not many people consider that your health can be affected by your everyday activities. All of the things we have to do each day can make a huge difference in how we feel and what happens to us. When we are not in a good relationship, have a job we hate, or keep friends who are bad for us; we take away from our own health. Giving too much and living in too much stress can really cause adverse reactions in one's physical and emotional well-being. When you are doing things that can make it hard to be happy, you can compromise your health in more ways than you can imagine. There are several things we can do to make sure we better our environment to improve our health.

The Working Environment

The work place can be awfully brutal to ones health for many reasons. It can be hard to juggle long hours with a family or social time. This can leave you sleep deprived or lonely. Either way this can impact your health in both emotional and physical ways. Not enough sleep can cause your immune system to falter and you will get sick. Once better you spend your newfound energy catching up at work to do it again. Not enough time to spend with loved ones can lead to depression or anger. These can cause you to become anxious or hypersensitive. Another reason your health can be affected by your job is if you work in a hostile environment. This can make you scared to come to work, not get along with your co-workers, or worse, make you miss work. If something is wrong in your work life, you need to address it to make it better.

Personal Relationships

Our relationship with others directly affects our health in many ways. When we are getting along with others well we feel good. This good feeling aids us in staying health emotionally. When relationships are strained or unhealthy, health concerns then can arise. When one spends too much energy taking care of others or dealing with others energy, they can become weak and vulnerable. This can lead to stress and illness. If relationships become more stress than fun, it is time to get rid of them to better you. While everyone needs friends, not at the expense of one's own health. Make sure that each of your relationships is healthy and gives back as much as you give.

Finding Balance In Life Activities

When it comes to your life and health, you need to find a balance in the things you need to do verses the things you have to do. When you spend too much time in one area in life many ailments can arise. Some people wear themselves too thin and end up sick from exhaustion. Some people have too much fun and end up too tired to function and get infections and viruses. You also have a class of people who work so hard they end up with high blood pressure and ulcers. The key to staying healthy, both emotionally and physically, is to find the balance between work and play. This will allow you to feel the release from a hard days work, without spreading yourself too thin or too much.

Peggle Deluxe

Feverish Metal Balls It's ironic--the only cure for fever is more fever. Armed with a small metal ball shooter and your wits, your job in Peggle is to take on the legion hordes of pegs that stand between you and victory or a high score. Peggle is an unusual game for sure, but possibly one of the most addictive I've ever played, and definitely an interesting study in where gaming is headed.

To win a level, a Peggle master must shoot a limited supply of balls at an array of pegs to clear a number of randomly-marked orange pegs. Along the way there are bonuses, powerups, extra balls, and the sometimes-strategic-sometimes-random ball catcher to help you recycle your shots. Beware though, it won't always be easy even with the help of your animal friends. As time goes on the boards become filled with traps, pegs that move, and unique geography to block access to important locations on the board.

So simple, yet so addicting. Peggle is a beautiful blend of skill and luck that leaves you feeling in control of situations that you aren't in control of at all. The path of the ball is deterministic--there is little random chance in Peggle--but you'll need a PHD in "bouncy metal ball" math to accurately predict where it's headed beyond the first few ricochets. As such, a good but lucky shot can often make or break your game while making you feel in control of it. This is how Peggle gets power over you!

I've seen this game catch on among many who aren't traditionally into games. Moms, fathers, grandfathers, the little sister that thinks that games are for boys. Popcap really did a good job of making something that just about everyone can get involved in. Not only does it draw in the unusual crowd just mentioned, but I've noticed it has been a time-draining guilty pleasure of many in the hardcore gaming crowd as well.
