Be SUPERFIT in COLD Season

Are you ready for cold and flu season? If you want to avoid being sick and feeling like you have to go to the doctor to get antibiotics and other drugs, NOW is the time to be thinking about PREVENTION!

To that end, here’s some great tips to strengthen your body’s immune system during the winter season.

1. Drink the optimal amount of water. With the winter season here, it’s more important than ever to consume the right amount of water for your health.

2. Keep stress to a minimum. Studies have linked high stress levels to making a person more susceptible to catching colds and flu. Minimize your stress by working reasonable hours at your job. Aim for at least one night per week to spend with friends and family. If your stress is out of hand and you feel like you need some help, let me know. Frequently, I work with people who have stress/emotional challenges and utilize batch flower remedies to bring their emotional health, back into balance.

3. Eat a healthy diet. Maintaining a good healthy diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables and minimal amounts of organic meats is another way to keep your body clean and in good, working order. Try eating an extra piece of fruit or veggie every day too!

4. Do your homework to find the best supplement for your health. Even if you eat “perfectly” all the time with loads of fresh fruits and vegetables, you still need to boost your nutrition with a supplement. Chawanprash with Honey is good for improving immunity..

Vocational Training Courses in India

The trainees of Vocational Education and Training typically undergo internship programs in the actual industry, thereby enhancing their skills to the specific industry. The recent years saw big names in automotive, semi-conductor, mobile phones and hardware industry setting their shops in India. One of the key aspects of attracting these big names can be attributed to the availability of the skilled workers to the specific industries.

With no doubt India was able to capitalize the foreign investments, as we have a talent pool with specific skills that is decentralized within the country. The Vocational Education and Training programs play a big part in shaping up the skilled technicians required by the companies. The Vocational Education and Training program falls under the charge of the Ministry of the Human Resources Development (MHRD); this clearly signifies the importance of the course.

The Vocational Education and Training courses really help people in upgrading their skills, as per the career demands. There are polytechnic institutions offering diploma courses in the selected fields. There are many versatile programs, offered under this category, which comprises, programs administered under the craftsmen training scheme (CTS) are operated by Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and Industrial Training Centers (ITCs). Many certificate courses are available under this category of education; some of them are listed as below:

How to Motivate Yourself in your study??

‘How do I get motivated to my study?’ is one question I am constantly asked by my students.

I am happy to say that there are many ways to motivate yourself, but it may involve some pain, frustration and overcoming mental barriers to begin with (at least this was the case for me!).

Unfortunately, there are no quick and easy solutions to have you feeling totally inspired and energized about studying a subject or completing a project that may not be all that inspiring/interesting at times.

Here are some of the things you can do to motivate yourself to get on with the work and study that needs doing.

1. Make every thought serve you and move you forward

I heard one professor of Psychology state that we have 60,000 conscious thoughts a day. Now for those of you who just thought ‘What’s a conscious thought?’ that’s exactly what a conscious thought is, you just had one! The Psychiatrist also states that each of these thoughts are going to either be bringing you closer towards achieving your goals or further away from your goals.
2. Visualise yourself taking action

Studies have found that visualisation makes a difference to professional athletes’ performance, so why don’t we as students practice doing it as well?

Practice visualising yourself taking the actions that need to be taken (e.g. see yourself typing up your work on your laptop, organising your files and being able to access articles/materials with ease).

This simple strategy helps you to stay focus on what needs to be done. As Jesse Jackson said once:

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it”.

3. Small actions add up
Often we can get bogged down and feel overwhelmed/stressed by the enormity of the things we need to do (e.g. writing an 11,000 word thesis).

I read somewhere recently that worry disappears in the face of action. So next time you start worrying about an assignment or exams, force yourself to do something, however small it might be.

4. Get some good friends and spend time with them

There’s something really comforting and energizing about spending time with others who are going through or have gone through the same painful experience as you.

I was told by one of my lecturers about this idea of getting together with other honours students and having regular writing sessions each week (where you would all sit around at a table and write for an hour or so). Getting together with others can turn boring, stressful tasks into a fun, playful ones.

5. Remind yourself that this won’t go on forever

I see a lot of students that are really overwhelmed and want to throw in the towel at this point in the year in regards to their studies. If you’re a student, remind yourself that this won’t go on forever, that everything changes and all you need to do is just keep taking action.

MBA Degree..... The Right Choice after Graduation......

Why to opt for an MBA Degree?

By Karen Schweitzer..

An MBA is a type of business degree offered through business schools and other graduate-level programs. There are many reasons to consider getting an MBA. Here are some of the most common:

Because You Want to Advance Your Career

Although it may be possible to climb the ranks over the years, there are some careers that require an MBA for advancement. Examples include areas of finance and banking and consultancy. Furthermore, there are also some companies who will not promote employees who do not continue or improve education through an MBA program. Earning an MBA does not guarantee career advancement, but it certainly doesn't hurt employment or promotion prospects.

Because You Want to Change Careers

If you are interested in changing careers, switching industries, or making yourself a marketable employee in a variety of fields, an MBA degree can help you do all three. While enrolled in an MBA program, you will have the opportunity to learn general business and management expertise that can be applied to nearly any industry. You may also get the chance to specialize in a particular area of business, such as accounting, finance, marketing, or human resources. Specializing in one area will prepare you to work in that field after graduation regardless of your undergraduate degree or previous work experience.

Because You Want to Assume a Leadership Role

Not every business leader or executive has an MBA. However, it may be easier to assume or be considered for leadership roles if you have an MBA education behind you. While enrolled in an MBA program, you will study leadership, business, and management philosophies that can be applied to almost any leadership role. Business school may also give you hands-on experience leading study groups, classroom discussions, and school organizations.

Because You Are Truly Interested in Studying Business

One of the best reasons to get an MBA is because you are truly interested in studying business administration. If you enjoy the topic and feel like you can increase your knowledge and expertise, pursuing an MBA for the simple sake of getting an education is probably a worthy goal.
