Push Through the Pain. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: Push Through the Pain.

This tip is true and false. Pushing through the pain of working out can help you build strength and gain muscle. But, pushing through that pain, where something feels over stretched can cause a long-term problem. Men tend to do this more than women, but anyone who does a physical activity should know this.

If you are playing a sport or doing a new workout, and you feel a tightness starting to kick in it’s best to pause and see if the pain subsides. Not all of us have a coach or trainer helping us on a daily basis. But, speaking with one before starting out could also be a great benefit in helping you in understanding your body.

A great example, stretching you legs; to gain more flexibility you stretch the leg until you feel the burn. Then you pause, and the burn subsides. The next stretch you do with that leg, you will have gained a bit more flexibility. Now, if you were to bounce the leg to make it stretch further too quickly, you could cause harm to the muscle, ligaments and tendons.

Getting a cramp when working out or running is a sign of dehydration, pausing to drink water or electrolytes can restore your body’s water supply.

Pushing yourself the little extra distance can boost strength and endurance. But, pushing yourself too far, too fast can effect you for a lifetime. Be smart and know your body when doing any physical activities.

People Can’t Change. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: People Can’t Change.

You’ve heard the sayings, “A leopard can’t change it’s spots” or “a Tiger can’t change it’s stripes”. Okay, but the one that is really not true is, “A person can’t change”.

People aren’t animals. People can evolve with their attitudes, emotions, mentality, spirituality and even physically. Change is inevitable for humans.

If a person continues to behave in a way that is unacceptable, and you think, a person will never change, it’s actually an individual being stubborn according to scientific studies. As a person, we desire and welcome positive changes in our lives and patterns. A person that refuses to change their patterns, is actually working really hard to stay that way; instead of allowing themselves a natural positive progression of life.

Example, a person of a younger age is able to stay up, be out all night, still work an 8 hour day the next day and attempt to go out again that following night. A person fighting the aging process will try to do the same thing and become extremely irritable and possibly make it through the night, but have to call out of work the next day. Even if they can make it through the event, their bodies can’t keep up. The change is inevitable. Don’t allow yourself to fall victim of the mid-life crisis.

Another example, a young adult can make one thing their number one priority. Yet, after life experiences and changes; their priorities are inevitably going to change because they, themselves have inevitably changed.

If you or someone you know has been labeled as lazy, greedy, a liar, selfish, petty, a thief, a cheater, a gossip, mean, childish, etc. there is always an opportunity for change. These are not personalities, but have become habits, and habits can be broken if desired.

So, if you find yourself in a rut or self-esteem has taken a hit; remember it will change and so will you. Let changes build your character, not crush it. And, if you have been labeled as a person the will never change, stop being stubborn and make a conscious decision to grow in life. It’s natural to evolve and change in a positive way.

Vacuum the Carpet, It’s Clean. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: Vacuum the Carpet, It’s Clean.

It may look really clean after you vacuum, but some grime really stays deep down. There can also be living dust mites living in the carpet.

So a quick tip to get that stuff out of the rug and out of your home, is sprinkle the carpet with some cornstarch.

The cornstarch will kill the dust mites and loosen deep down dirt. Suck it up with the vacuum and now the carpet is fresh.

Add a little bit of essential oil to a bag with the cornstarch to make the powder fragrant.

BEAUTY, STUPID TIP OF THE DAY; WHAT NOT TO DO

Brushing your Hair is Damaging. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: Brushing your Hair is Damaging.

Taking a tip from The Brady Bunch can be a bit harsh on the hair if you are brushing a hundred strokes with the wrong brush. But, not brushing your hair can cause damage. We lose strands everyday, and bushing it releases those strays from tangling and knotting around healthy locks.

It’s important to brush your hair out before wetting. Getting rid of knots while the hair is dry, is actually more gentle since you can help de-tangle it easily. Like any other knot in this world, wet knots tend to be tighter, so they can pull out more healthy hair. So before you wash it, take a brush to it.

And, a good side note: keep a brush in your bag to brush it out when you take a trip to the salon. Your locks will be grateful.

Cleaning the Coffee Pot. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: Cleaning the Coffee Pot.

Some may say it’s unnecessary to clean the coffee pot or the new coffee maker that makes one cup at a time. The truth is, like anything else in your kitchen; it should be clean at least a few times a year.

The easiest way to clean the coffee markers are with vinegar. Run a cycle with a vinegar and water mix. This will sanitize the full machine. Once it runs through, be sure to discard the vinegar water mix and rerun the maker twice with clean water, before using again.

The same idea can be used to clean tea pots as well.
