Hello Amazing beloved community,

OK, here is my come to the truth moment. And it isn't pretty but here is something I learned the hard way.

Really big ouch.

So did you know that...

Our computers emit energy that can cause disturbances in our brains?

And see I thought it was just you know, my blonde brain.

But here is my new reality. For those of us living with neurological disturbances, seizure disorders, or anything like seizures, we can be at risk with the time we are spending intimately involved with our "puters.

So I am not saying this in anyway to be fearful.

Please hear this, I love my computer. I just have to learn what pacing and self care really looks like.

And just like wanting to build a successful business, we need to be healthy to do it.

So no fear about our computers, just being wise, ok?

Yup. Deal yes?

So did you know this?

We can adjust our screens to take out the offending blue light and instead replace it with orange light. Huh? How about that?

So even if you don't have any problems, PULEEZE save your sight. Go look for the orange screen adjustment, OK? Promise?

It is probably located at the bottom right side of your screen.Click on settings and see light adjustment.

You will suddenly feel this lighter sense of ease...really! I was amazed at how quickly my eyes were sending me a loving thank you note!

And here are some other tips.

1. Every 20-30 minutes TAKE AN EYE BREAK! yup.. do long range looking.

2. Drink loads of water to keep your eyes hydrated too.

3. Get up at least once every 40-60 minutes and stretch to give your head a clearing.

4. Do deep breaths between your to do list to oxygenate your blood.

5. Do not sit more than an hour non stop .EVER!

6. You can also hook your laptop up to a large monitor for less eye strain and sit at least 4-5 feet away.

7. And there are also devices to either wear around your neck or place near your work space that help lower the emissions.

8. Pace our selves. Yeah, not a word I can even spell. But now I have to learn.This is not an overnight success business. This is a day to day building. We are on the now plan. NOW to self care, now to pacing, now to creating great wealth and success.

Everyone on board? Was that a resounding yes? A little louder please?

Ok got it. WE took the pledge. We are all going to hold each other to it. Because as community that is what we do. We love, we care, we support. Amazing WA!

So there you go!

Healthy and wealthy and wise at Wealthy Affiliate! And we always strive to do it NOW. Yes? That includes taking care of our selves..

OK I am telling me too! And if I forget I know I can count on the community to just chime in..yes?

Let's be zen about this and take our health really seriously. We are working to create great businesses, and well we are worthy of greatness also.. so we better just DO It and take the time for self care..

One of our goals has to be that we are worthy of all the care we put into our business. That is a promise we must make and keep. Do you agree?

Ariel..did you hear yourself??? LOL.

Let me know how any of this works for you please!

In peace and gratitude,

Orange light, hunh? I'm going on 40 years with microcomputers (yes, me and the two Steves, we were just THIS tight!)(not true, but I was an early adopter) and I have never heard of this... Once more demonstrating to us, Ariel, just how awesome you are, and what a huge benefit to our community
Ok, now, where did they hide that damn Orange Light thingie....
Tim

Hello Tim! really..i thought it was so in your expertise! Go find it..and you can play with the spectrum of light too! enjoy this day. so happy you are here.

I've done that playing around in Photoshop, and shown my students how to get really creative with it, but never with my own monitor.... I just went searching but didn't find it. I'll devote more time to the search later today after some of my daily goals get met.
Tim

Thank you, and I am sure to. utilize and implement those tips and pointers.

Hey Louisa, I so hope they help. Enjoy this day.

You're very welcome!

You could workout really hard of 2 hours then stay in from of a pc for more than 5 hours.

Hmmm. thanks for being here.

Yep, its about that time for my break. Screen getting blurry, needing more java, stretching always helps too. Thanks for the reminder. Back for more soon.

Hello Xavier, are you back yet??? LOL so glad you are taking a break.

Hi Ariel

Thank you that very valuable information about your computer and your body. It was extremely interesting reading it. Things we don't think of while working on our computer.

God bless
Naomi

Hello Naomi, so hope it helps us all..yes? thanks for being here.

I just adjusted the color to a more orange hue, thanks for the tips!

Oh yay..could you feel the difference too?

After using the computer for several hours today, it did make a difference. My eyes are not so fatigued tonight and I was able to work longer without needing to take a break from looking at the screen so much. Great tip!

Hi Ariel,
Thank you for sharing this very helpful post. The thought of adjusting the color setting on my monitor actually never crossed my mind so I’ll give it a try. Another thing that can cut down the effects that blue light has on our eyes are computer glasses with special yellow tinted lenses.
Jerome

Hello Jerome, Oh thanks for that tip. I so appreciate that. Thanks for being here.

Thank you for these truths on what we work and stare at constantly Ariel,

Hello Mike, how are you doing? Yeah, we have to ..right?

Thank you to remind all that.

I hope it works for you!

Great advice and reminders thank you again. You are a huge help

Well let me know how it helps..ok? So happy to see you here. Enjoy this day.

I made sure today to get away a little and I don't feel as tired as I usually do at this time
