You and your partner have decided it's time. You've stopped using birth control and you've begun the fun part of having kids, making them. Don't stress out if you're not pregnant in the first couple of months of trying. Here are some important things to keep in mind when trying to conceive.

The body works best when it is not stressed out. Studies show that 8 out of 10 women suffer from significant stress in their day to day lives. Whether it is work, family, or financial stress it can wreak havoc on your system. Here are some simple ways you can work on reducing your stress level. If you feel your stress level rising, no matter where you are, take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. The oxygen to your brain and body help to reduce the level of stress plus it gives you a couple of seconds to regain composure or think about what needs to be done and what can wait till later. Take 10 minutes a day to sit in silence or with calm music and think about your favourite thing to do, place to visit, or memory. This simple exercise helps your body and mind to come to rest and recharge on thoughts that are happy and pleasant.

Now that you are ready to be pregnant you have stopped eating junk food and drinking caffeine by the pot. It is time to start consuming the types of food that will help your body prepare for and carry the baby you are hoping for. Caffeine increases levels of stress and anxiety. Most doctors recommend the cessation of caffeine intake while pregnant because it can affect the development of the baby and increase the baby's heart rate. The baby growing inside you will be borrowing from your sources of nutrients for its own development. This means no more skipping meals. A skipped meal can leave you fatigued and faint. Most health care professionals recommend six small balanced meals a day to keep your metabolism at an even level instead of the highs and lows experienced with only two or three large meals a day. Prenatal vitamins should be taken as well. Besides being a multivitamin, they contain folic acid. Folic acid helps to prevent neural tube defects during your baby's prenatal development. It is a good idea to begin taking them right away since you will not know when you do become pregnant. During the first four weeks babies grow by leaps and bounds. It is imperative that you stay adequately hydrated during pregnancy. At least 64 oz. of water a day is recommended. Carry a water bottle with you throughout your day and don't forget to DRINK IT.

A relaxed and well nourished body also needs regular exercise. Not marathon over the top exercise, but 25 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise that maintains your heart rate at your target heart rate. Talk to your doctor about your target heart rate or if you belong to a gym you can talk to a personal trainer. Aerobic exercise is continuous motion with adequate oxygen. Ideas for aerobic activity include biking, swimming, speed walking, running, aerobics class, or stair climber. Find something you enjoy doing or alternate activities to break up the monotony and make it a part of your day at least 3 times a week.

It's important to know when you are most fertile (likely to get pregnant). Purchase an ovulation test kit from any drug store and follow the directions. If you are between 20-35 years of age and have been trying to conceive for more than 1 year, or 6 months if over 35, you may require infertility treatments and should speak with your doctor.

He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him

In the vast majority of religions that exist, people must live in perpetual fear of their gods. They either are continually forced to follow an incredibly rigid lifestyle, perhaps praying five or even more times per day while kneeling on a small carpet, and facing a particular direction. Others are forced to follow elaborate rituals of generating prayer flags, or sand art, etc. Some use prayer beads, or recite ancient prayers from old books, or elaborate dances or other physical activities, which may include self-mutilation. Others invoke special magic arts to entice their deities to act on their behalf, for good or evil, according to their desires.

Other religions force their members to continually appease their deities. They frequently place offerings before statues housed in household shrines, in temples, or in other shrines. Some continually create paper objects to be burned in an effort to send precious items to their ancestors or other deities.

There are many ways that people attempt to either appease or coerce their deities. They don't really expect any potential good things, they just don't want their deities to torment them. The best that they can hope for in this life is to be left alone. If they do everything right throughout their entire lives, and if their deities are positively disposed toward them, they may attain heaven, or some other reward for faithful service. In the case of reincarnation, they earn the right to live again in a higher social class, or ultimately attain "nirvana," the supreme state of nothingness.

The God of the Bible, however, actually promises rewards in this life, in addition to the ultimate goal of heaven. A long list of these benefits is given in the book of Deuteronomy (28:1-14), which includes such things as children, financial prosperity, protection of all one's assets, success in all one's endeavors, victory over all one's enemies, and establishment as a respected individual. These are a few of the benefits that one is encouraged to expect in this lifetime.

There are more spiritual benefits listed in Matthew 5:3-12, and Luke 6:20-23 (the beatitudes), and scattered elsewhere throughout the New Testament. As Jesus said "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." (John 10:10b, NKJV) As the Lord has said: "the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him," (2 Chronicles 16:9, NKJV) and "I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, ... and all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land...." (Malachi 3:11-12, NKJV) Truly, it is the Lord's intent to pronounce blessing on all who are willing and able to receive it.

These blessings are real, and tangible, as well as spiritual blessings in this lifetime. The blessings of the God of the Bible are meant to be enjoyed by real people in this life! Yes there are "pleasures forevermore" (Psalms 16:11c, NKJV) in heaven, but there are real blessings to be had and enjoyed now!

Are you forever working for an unsure future that has been promised by a purported deity that may or may not be trustworthy, or are you expecting real benefits in this life? Is the spiritual life your are living today producing blessings for you now, or must you wait for unsubstantiated rewards after you die? If you cannot receive at least a portion of your reward now, how can you have any assurance that the promises offered will ever be delivered? Can you really trust a deity who is rarely, if ever, seen rewarding anyone in this life? You decide.

Greed, Money, And Its Effect On Managing

Image source: http://comefillyourcup.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/greedy-eyes.jpg

The problem with greed

Just take a look at the economic crash of 2009 and one will see the impact of greed on the economic system. Nowadays it seems enough is not enough. The organizational drive to increase margins, lower costs, improve productivity continues to be the main emphasis in business. After all this is what our schools teach. What gets lost is the balance between the drive for just making money and making work enjoyable. When people find joy in their work, they want to help to improve the business and are more creative and willing to offer suggestions. While the desire by management is for collaboration, often the management does the opposite placing people in competition vs. one another. This leads to the mistrust between employees and management.

Greed takes over

Soon, people start to compete against each other in the race for the increasing salaries and awards. In the end the winners feel more pressure to stay on top and the losers feel like well losers! To improve the teamwork the emphasis should be on the collaboration and not on competition.

I have seen so many performance systems which are set in January and frozen until the following December. As business environment changes, management needs to work together with their staff to change goals and objectives. In many organizations performance goals are established early by top management and as a result these goals and the possibility of reward becomes the only thing which people are focused on. When the performance system is tied directly to specific goals with no flexibility, greed takes over. Short-cuts are made, integrity is compromised and as we have seen with the financial crash of 2009, ethics disappear.

Why people dislike their work

People grow to dislike their work for 3 main reasons. The work no longer aligns their abilities and interests. The environment no longer enables them to grow and develop. The management is poor and not supportive.

Often management forgets that motivation at work is complex and driven by a number of factors. Often the silly contests, performance goals and motivational lunches produce the opposite of the desired effect.

Many HR programs for example aim to get employees motivated by external factors as the better review, the holiday party, and the annual bonus. Better would be to offer education helping people learn how to motivate themselves which in return would produce more productivity and joy at work. Just once I would like to see a performance review which measures the amount of joy at work. When people love their work the organization benefits in many ways. Creativity is high, communication is open and people take risks.

The best managers know that you can't expect long term success when the only motivational strategy is external short term rewards.

Don't reward, especially with money

What would an organization do if they couldn't reward with money?
I often ask this question and always amazed with the blank looks I receive...

There are many ways.

First give people work worth doing. Put a process in place to help match people to the right work. There are many people in the organization that may have strong skills but no longer interested in work they are doing. Find new levels of work for them. There are also people in the organization who are very interested in aspects of the business but lack the skills. Give them new learning opportunities.

When people enjoy their work, it becomes the reward itself especially for the older worker. Provide opportunities for self-assessment, group collaboration and risk taking without penalty for failure. This would be more helpful than offering bonuses for achieving new goals. Behaviorism has not done anyone a favor with the carrot and stick approach.

The problem with ranking and rating and competition

Many high tech firms and others cherish their annual ranking and rating systems competing workers against each other. It drives away creativity, joy, and passion for workers. This approach may work short term for the younger worker but not for the more experienced worker over 40.

Why should this matter to the organization? Despite the economic crisis, there are still more work related choices than ever before. People can still choose to leave and go elsewhere. Only the most successful firms will thrive with people who stay for a long period of time.

Organizations which put their employees against one another will find this strategy inadequate for the long term.

We need better role models

The best managers know how to balance achieving work results and enabling people to find joy in their work. The best managers demonstrate that they care about their people despite their performance. The best managers know that people don't wake up in the morning to do a bad job. The best managers step back and study the overall system always seeking to make improvements where needed.

Place emphasis on the team

Often at work, we have challenges and are not sure what to do. In other cases we feel unchallenged but with many skills. Placing the emphasis on teamwork ensures a culture of working together, helping, teaching, and leading. Teams solve problems better than individuals. This can occur only when the system promotes collaboration vs. competition. The best managers reward teams and encourage more collaboration.

The management system must change

Many management systems based on either behaviorism by B.F Skinner or Scientific management by Frederick Taylor are outdated and need to be changed. People today have more choices about what to do and where to do their work. Society itself has become more mature in the last 100 years. People are growing to expect more out of their work than just a paycheck and a bonus. The best managers provide outlets for creativity, innovation, and autonomy.

Make collaboration the goal

When people are encouraged to work with one another, fear tends to disappear in the environment and productivity can increase. With collaboration, people become more aware of the interdependency with others. Also, they are more interested in results of their combined work.

Make the work the reward!

As people feel joy at work, this becomes the reward. The best managers work hard to stay out of the way as much as possible.

Eliminate fear and threat

Adults don't respond well to threats and when it repeats on a regular basis they start to sabotage the system undermining the aim for quality results.

Time for a change and new approach

The ever so popular Dilbert cartoon series was funny because it was true! The era of greed is over. We need a new era of best managers who try new approaches which enable people to have joy and meaning at work WHILE also getting great business results!

Gold Information You Probably Did Not Know About

Image source: https://medivizor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/bloodcanal2.jpg

Have an understanding of the current market value of gold before you sell it. You can call a jewelry store for this information. Gold value changes often, sometimes from day to day, and you want to make sure your buyer is offering you a fair price for your pieces, based on current market value.

Schedule for a proper delivery before buying gold from any seller. If your seller doesn't give you an immediate deliver, get it in writing confirming when you are to expect your piece. This should include the date the gold will arrive to you buy. Don't order anything without this document.

Know you're going to have to show your ID when you sell gold. By law, people are required to present their identification when they sell gold. That is done in order to deter thieves and other criminals. Therefore, don't be embarrassed if they ask for your ID, and even snap a photograph of you.

If you are planning to buy gold coins, consider holding on to them for awhile before making a sale. Gold can fluctuate in value on a daily basis, meaning if you buy today, sometimes the value will be less tomorrow. This can lead to frustration if you try to sell too soon. Save yourself the headache by buying for the long run.

Make a commitment to yourself to get educated on gold. Know going in: only you are on your side. The buyers, no matter how reputable, want to get the best deal for themselves as possible. If you can't speak the language, there's a very good chance that you'll lose in any sort of negotiation.

Be realistic about the price you want for your gold pieces. Remember that any buyer will want to earn a profit, so they will never pay you one hundred percent value for the gold you are selling. If they offer you seventy five or eighty percent of the value, they are usually giving you a fair deal.

Earring backs are often solid gold when the earring isn't. Necklace clasps and ring bands are usually real as well. Because these pieces do not weigh a lot, try selling them as a "lot." A lot is a collection of separate pieces weighed and sold together; selling off jewelry in lots is often the best way to get maximum value.

When it comes to selling gold jewelry, you should know exactly what it is that you are selling. Many pieces are worth more when they're left as is rather than melted down. If your pieces come from famous makers or designer lines, they may carry more value for the buyer over what kind of gold they're made of.

If you are selling gold jewelry that is covered with other stones, never leave the gold dealer without those stones on you. Some shady dealers will try and pocket those gems so that they can sell them elsewhere. Even if you don't hink they're worth anything, it's best to get them before leaving.

Gold is often a lucrative, yet variable investment vehicle. If you can't handle the fluctuations, avoid this market. Even if you are okay with taking the risk, you need to prevent downside risks. Don't over invest in a single market, like gold. 5% is a good amount.

Talk to friends and family about their experiences. You may be surprised at the knowledge you can gain from them! In fact, they may lead you to two or three reputable gold dealers. This can speed up your research a lot starting out, so it's worth the five minutes to ask.

When buying gold jewelry as a gift for someone, consider the colors that they normally wear. While yellow gold remains popular and classic, gold is also available in white and rose. Sometimes these are better options for individuals who wear a lot of silver or have a lot of pink in their wardrobe.

Don't unload your gold to an Internet buyer without taking a careful look at the current prices. A shop in your area may pay you more for your pieces.Alth Just putting your pieces in the mail is easy, but you may not be getting the best price you can.

Now that you've read through this information, you are ready to take the dive. Gold in your portfolio brings a little peace and a safety net. Gold investing is a great financial strategy, and you should now understand more about why. Move forward with your plan, and invest in some gold today.
