Womenlines takes pleasure to share an article by Melissa Maria, Principal, Global Indian International School, SMART Campus Singapore in the guest column at Womenlines! Melissa has shared her insightful thoughts on the importance of being mindful about planning your holidays-

What are your plans for the summer vacation?

This question is very timely for educators and the student community since vacations are around the corner. This luxury comes but twice a year for them, and I am sure everyone has plans on how to spend this time.
Many are eager to shut the study materials, pack their travel bags and visit family overseas. But, what if you are not travelling for family time or fun time? Have you made any plans?

Maybe you just want to put on your pyjamas, curl up under the covers for lazy afternoons or just be a couch potato. Doing nothing can be a good way of relaxing, but many times people end up scrolling the smart device for hours together in the name of leisure activity. There is nothing wrong with spending time on social media, but shouldn’t holidays be a break from the dreaded device as well?

Every day, for long hours, all of us are glued to one smart device or another – laptops, smartphones, smart boards, smart TVs etc. The constant onslaught of content that these devices throw at us at breakneck speed may have entertainment value, but it is short-lived at best. There is no learning curve, no retention of information, no lasting knowledge gained.

Instead, if you were to consider doing something meaningful with that time, it might make a difference to yourself and others Without sounding preachy, I would urge students and teachers to consider spending some hours each day gaining a new experience in life.

Visit an orphanage and spend time with children; or take a workshop in vertical farming; volunteer to read an old people’s home or participate in a charity event Such activities will not only shape your personality, and give you valuable life lessons, it comes with inexplicable satisfaction. And it is a far more effective way to detox, relax and regain your mental and spiritual strength that will be your life force for the next 6 months.
We have a mere three weeks on our hands, do we want to spend that time staring at screens? We do that all year round, anyway, maybe this time, let’s allow ourselves to destress our necks, look up from our devices and take a deep breath of fresh air.
Life may be more enriching outside the 5-inch screen.

Womenlines takes pleasure to welcome Life Coach, Dr Jasbirr Grover, as a guest contributor who has shared an insightful article on how creating doodles can be beneficial to your mental health.

Creating Mindful Doodles doesn’t require any special drawing or artistic skill. It offers participants a hands-on experience of making anything with colours and doodling for self-awareness. You access resourceful parts of yourself to move towards positive change by being mindful of what you are doing.

Creating doodle art is an easy yet powerful process! The simple activity of drawing lines repeatedly to make a doodle helps individuals feel a less stressed and powerful tool to deal with emotions. Recent studies have shown that Doodling offers several benefits of improving memory and one’s ability to focus.

5 Benefits and Magic in Creating Doodles-

1. Doodling Art & Mindfulness

When we focus on the art of doodles, irrespective of everything, we can practice beautiful mindfulness practices. Doodling is often done simultaneously with other activities, such as learning in class, talking on the phone, and attending meetings. Creating doodle art allows individuals to slow down and be in the present moment. This can be achieved by bringing all the attention to the movement of the pen, pencil or colours, feeling the texture of the paper, filling with colours, the placement of the lines, curves figures and breathing. It is an act of a simple form of art, focusing on what we are doing and feeling at the moment and reminding them while making doodle art that their final product is not as crucial as their state of being while creating it.

2. Doodling is a stress outlet

Some studies have examined the positive effects of creating doodle art on mental health. Drawing doodles or zentangles can help alleviate psychological distress and anxiety by promoting relaxation. Many studies have examined the impact of creating doodle art on mental health. The simple, carefree and repetitive motions involved in creating the doodles often suppressed the mind’s fight-or-flight reaction. In fact, making any art, in general, is a proven method for reducing cortisol levels, as known as the stress hormone.

3. Doodling Boost Confidence

Every line and stroke in Doodling looks unique and has a purpose in that place, and there is nothing that looks like a mistake. One of the most significant advantages and beautiful things about doodles and zentangles is that there are no mistakes. In fact, it is recommended to create doodles using permanent markers that cannot be erased for this very reason. It actually isn’t. If a line or stroke goes different, it will look like an error. Every line can be easily incorporated somehow into your overall design. Doodling looks like a built-in safety net because there is no right or wrong way to do it. It can help help you build confidence, mainly if you focus on perfection or remain hesitant about making mistakes. Doodling can help ease this rigidity, embrace the process, and encourages them to let go and flow in their creativity.

4. Doodling improves memories

There are studies which suggest that Doodling can be an effective memory aid. It is found that memory retention could be increased by simply doodling while listening to other information orally. It was discovered that Doodling stimulates the brain just enough to keep you focused on the current task simultaneously.

What all you need for Doodle Art-

You’ll Need:
A sharpie
A fine tip marker or even an ordinary pen
A Piece of blank paper or any journal

The Steps to Take to Open Your First Business

The first step to start your own business is to find a niche and determine what your company will be selling. The next step is to find the right location for your business. Most people start their businesses by going online and using Google to find what they are looking for, but this doesn’t always work. It is important that you know how to go about finding a good location for your business and how it can help you in the long run.

What You Need to Focus on For a Physical Premises

A business location is a fundamental part of any business. It is the place where people come to purchase goods and services. Therefore, it needs to be designed and constructed in a way that attracts customers. Working with specialists in your field, such as Medifit, can help with this. After all, the physical premises of a business can be the first impression that people have of it. The design and construction of the premises should reflect the company’s values and goals. It has to be right.

The Necessary Legal Documents You Need for Your Company’s Opening Day

Legal documents are the key to your company’s success. They provide a framework for your company’s day-to-day operations and also represent the fundamental contract between your company and its customers.

In order to have a successful business, you must have legal documents that allow you to run smoothly in the beginning. Legal documents include an operating agreement, bylaws, shareholders agreements and more. These legal documents should be drafted by an experienced lawyer who understands business law and can help you with any questions that you might have about these legal documents.

Marketing Your Company Properly From the Start

Getting your company noticed can be a challenge. However, there are some simple ways to help you get the word out about your new business. One of the most important things to do is to create an effective marketing strategy. By doing so, you will be able to make sure that your company is marketed in a way that will make it stand out from the rest.

A good way to start is by creating content for social media platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. It doesn’t have to be extensive content but it should be something that shows your brand in a positive light and what makes you unique.

How you can thrive doing solo parenting when the spouse goes offshore?

Solo parenting is done by one parent when another partner is absent for a period of time, leaving the other with the whole responsibility of caring for the children solely. Read some insights shared by a guest contributor at Womenlines from United Kingdom-Abi Clarke!

There are literally thousands of offshore parents at home all across the world – juggling the work/home balance as well as partners working away offshore. Rotations can vary depending on your location from a couple of days to months at a time with adhoc work to a set rotation. How does this make you feel?

As a working parent, you hold a lot of responsibility with pickups/drops offs for school runs, paperwork and being a taxi service for activities, being part of the school parent council, work and ensuring you have your career, ensuring the house is kept clean, dinners are on the table. The list is endless and then there are all the changing emotions and kids phases you are working with too!

Equally, for the parent working offshore, there are many feelings of guilt and responsibility as well as when you are coming home, how things may have changed, and what you have missed.

So how do you cope with this? Breathe and breathe.

We are excited to announce that Abi Clarke will soon be publishing a story for children with offshore parents working away and techniques you can try at home to relieve tension, and stress and improve overall mental health and well-being.

If your business is a federal contractor, you need to know how best to comply with federal guidelines. Here’s how to ensure your business is OFCCP compliant.

If your business works with the government as a federal contractor or subcontractor and employs a certain amount of people or takes contracts of a certain value, you’re required to uphold a few extra guidelines and standards. Meeting these guidelines and developing an affirmative action plan (AAP) can be difficult and time-consuming, so here’s how to ensure your business is OFCCP compliant.

Perform an Internal Audit

Before the OFCCP (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs) visits for its annual audit, it’s a good idea to conduct an internal audit of your own to thoroughly inspect your business’s inner workings and correct anything that may not meet the OFCCP’s standards. This is a good way to keep on top of your business’s duties. Putting together and coordinating a team to conduct your audit may require a real effort on your part, but it’s well worth the preparation so that you’re not scrambling as the OFCCP’s audit draws near.

Gather Your Data Early

Another task you should get an early jump on is compiling your business and employee data. This is a very time-consuming process, as you must gather files on every aspect of your business, your employees, your hiring practices, and the applicants you’ve received throughout the year. This is also a good incentive to digitize your business’s files, which will not only expedite the process but also store your information more securely.

Seek Assistance

Sometimes the best way to ensure your business is OFCCP compliant is to ask for help. As we’ve mentioned, taking the steps to ensure your business is OFCCP compliant is time-consuming, and it requires a lot of resources and effort. For that reason, consider outsourcing your AAP plans. AAP counseling can give you access to experts who are well-versed in the OFCCP’s guidelines, and their process of evaluation which can be invaluable—especially if you’re not sure what to look for during your own internal audit. Your business will be free to attend to its day-to-day responsibilities while the service you outsourced handles the preparation for your OFCCP audit.

How to be healthy? How do I start being healthier? How to be healthy and fit?

There are so many questions people seek answers to lead a healthy life. There are so many factors that play a role in staying healthy. Good health can also decrease the risk of developing certain diseases like heart disease, stroke, some cancers, and injuries. Learn what you can do to maintain your and your family’s health.

1. Play tricks with yourself-

Buy a small plate and take small portions in it. The quantity of food plays important role in maintaining a healthy body. If your plate size will be small then automatically you will take a small portion only and slowly you can develop a habit of controlling yourself by taking a big portion of food on your plates.

2. Choose as many vegetables on your plate-

Vegetables are full of so many important nutrients for a healthy body. To maximize vegetable intake focus on filling your more than half plate with a variety of vegetables and then the remaining plate can be filled with protein and carbohydrates.

3. Positive thinking with an attitude of gratitude-

A positive attitude in life can help build up a healthy immune system and improve overall health. Whatever you are thinking is certainly affecting the body in a certain way so why not have positive thinking. Gratitude leads to a positive health effect. Practising gratitude can lead to having better-connected relationships and more motivation in life.

4. Add innovative ways to walk in your day list-

Plan your meets while walking. You can avoid parking your car in the first 10 places, then you can add more to your walk for the day. Instead of taking your car, you can walk with them to school, if nearby. Whenever you are getting breaks in your office make sure you are walking around.

5. Buy a standing working desk

If your work includes sitting for long hours a day, consider buying a desk that naturally increases your daily movement. EverDesk, and Omnidesk, are some good brands for buying standing desks. Standing desks are flexible by nature and move you which is good for your body.
