Dealing With Job Burnout, Before It Becomes A Problem

The average workday for full-time employed Americans has exceeded the standard eight hours, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics research. And individuals holding down multiple jobs are working close to nine hours a day, typically. Fatigue and stress combine to result in burnout. While long work hours contribute, says Inc magazine, excess repetition, insufficient compensation, little room for upward mobility and no camaraderie with peers are also factors. The experience negatively affects not only job performance but health and relationships. Inc’s tips for thwarting burnout are: 1. Use vacation days.

When doubts about a relationship start to creep in, people don’t just blurt them out. They might not want to worry their partner and figure they’ll ride out what could just be a rough patch. They probably think they can hide their feelings pretty easily. But it turns out, hidden signs of their turmoil appear in the way they communicate. In our recently published study, we were able to show that people’s language subtly changes in the months and weeks leading up to a breakup – well before they’ve made a conscious decision to end things.

How Long Should I Wait Before Meeting My Online Date For The First Time?

There is no sense in communicating with someone endlessly, talking on the phone for hours and days, if you can just as easily do so in person to find out if you like each other. Therefore, you should try to meet up with someone you're interested in as soon as possible. In other words, within 2 weeks of striking up conversation. This prevents several things. Don't Waste Your Time First, it prevents you from wasting your time on someone with whom you have no chemistry. Let's say you spend several days and even weeks texting, or otherwise communicating with each other, not in person. Let's say you finally meet, and - woops! - there's no chemistry there for you. Talk about a let down! Here you've built up this person, thinking your first date would culminate in fireworks, because of how fun i...

Four Questions To Ask Yourself Before Having A Workplace Romance With Someone From The Office

Workplace romance: four questions to ask yourself before dating someone from the office. In the digital age, online dating and swiping right are the status quo for romance. Practically gone are the days of meeting “the one” in a pub. But what about flirting by the water cooler or over Zoom? The consensual office relationship has been both a romance trope and a taboo for decades. There are many reasons someone might enter a workplace relationship. Research shows that people gravitate towards like-minded people with common personality traits, backgrounds, belief systems and ideas. Proximity and familiarity also influence attraction, something psychologists call the mere exposure effect. For better or for worse, offices are a place where like-minded people are in close proximity to each other...

Never Had A Girlfriend Before? Guess What You Are Not Alone

What if you have never had a girlfriend before? Common things I see when guys call the dating and relationship radio show that I co-host are: 1. A lot of guys in this boat are introverted and shy. To the point of extreme anxiety. You know that she wants a confident man but when just talking to her gives you a "flight or fight" reaction then it is tough to portray confidence. Women do not respond to fear, as you well know. 2. Negative thinking. When you have been down for so long, it is easy to fall into the "well, she is just going to reject me anyway" line of thinking. Guys who have never had a girlfriend before are more comfortable living in a negative world because it is safe for them. They do not have to risk anxiety and rejection and they can confirm the negative pattern that is impri...

Tips For Evaluating Yourself Before Getting Into A Relationship

A lot of people jump into a relationship because they felt the spark, they felt the butterflies, they felt the longing but, without much thought on whether that is the relationship they truly wanted or whether the relationship could last. It is time we cut this bad habit of jumping in and out of relationships. Be mindful of your choices, and save your heart from another heartache by answering these questions. What do you look for in a partner? It is very easy to fall in love with the good-looking, the nice and sweet, the smart and funny, the rich, the intelligent, or the mysterious individuals.

Vibrators had a long history as medical quackery before feminists rebranded them as sex toys

In the contemporary moment of sex-positive feminism, praises for the orgasmic capacity of the vibrator abound. “They’re all-encompassing, a blanket of electricity, that’ll course through your veins, producing orgasms you didn’t know you were physically capable of having,” wrote Erica Moen in her web comic “Oh Joy Sex Toy.” Vibrators today go hand in hand with masturbation and female sexuality. Yet for American housewives in the 1930s, the vibrator looked like any other household appliance: a nonsexual new electric technology that could run on the same universal motor as their kitchen mixers and vacuum cleaners. Before small motors became cheap to produce, manufacturers sold a single motor base with separate attachments for a range of household activities, from sanding wood to drying hair,...
