Watering Eyeballs
Watering Eyeballs
Swimming without goggles,
Racing along the highway with the wind and the dust in your face, and no goggles.
Staring out to sea in the heat of the summer sun, no sunglasses,
In the Sahara in a sandstorm. Facing the sand,
Staring at a computer monitor for hours without a break.
Which would you do, without goggles or a break?
All the money in the world cannot replace your health and YOU are the only you that you have.
Take care of your eyes, give them a break, rinse with cold water and gaze at the horizon for a few minutes.
Stand up and stretch your back. Your Spine can settle into a rather fixed position while sitting down.
Lay on the floor and curl up like a baby and hug your legs then stretch out with arms above and toes pointed to stretch your whole body.
This can take less than 5 minutes to do and can help to reset your mind and emotions at the same time.
Take Care.

Thanks Melissa.
I notice you just joined recently. I hope you are enjoying the community and learning some great skills.
I am loving it. And I have learned a ton. I have a lot of people saying my sites are great so I guess I am doing very well with them. Thank you so much.
Thanks Alejandra.
It is maybe more important than I have suggested.
I do find mini exercise breaks help enormously with ideas and concentration.
Hi Viyee, thanks for reminding us how important it is to consider our eyes and our bodies. I know what you mean about our eyes when we are in front of the screen for hours at a time and for sitting for that length of time also. :-) Frank
Thanks Frank.
We are so dependant on our eyes and in fact our general health to do this kind of business that I feel maybe I should have written more. But we are all adults and I hope a gentle reminder is all we need.
Excellent and important advice. I had some issues with my eyes. Getting away from the screen and being in outdoor light really helped. I also wear the blue light blocking glasses.

Thanks Debbie. Do they work?
I read that we should have at least a half hour break after TV or monitor watching to let our brains regulate to a more relaxed state and get some natural blinking going to moisten our eyes.
It is easy to forget the time and pound the keyboard for hours in this business.
The daylight lamp I have beside my PC has really helped me.
Got to look after the body, It is what carries the mind around.
Well, I was getting these bright flashes that interfered with my vision. Since I started wearing the glasses, spent less time in front of the screen and supplemented with lutein and zeaxanthin, I haven't had any flashes. I think I need to get the daylight lamp as well. Definitely have to have a healthy lifestyle.
Sounds like a good move.
It does not have to be a really expensive lamp. a desktop with a "Daylight " bulb inserted works very well.

Great reminder and tips!
Thanks Linda.
this is quite a change from your usual line of work. How are you finding it?
It is coming along slowly, I feel I have to research everything I go to do ( I'm not internet savvy) and I don't remember what I did on the last post, to do the same on the next. It will come in time. I just try to keep my eye on the prize no matter how long it takes. The one thing I have learned from blackjack dealing is repetition makes you better at what you are doing.
Thanks Linda.
That is true for all of us. Getting used to new skills take time and a lot of practice.
You will be amazed at how good you get.
