Stress
Stress is something that we seem to have become too much. In other words, we are congested and speculate or question if we can handle the situation or cope with the demands or not. Sometimes, stress can get us going in order to attain our goals in life. Anything that acts a challenge or an intimidation to our welfare is a stress. When stress control our mental, spiritual and physical well being, hence, they are not good. That’s a bad sign. When we are under stress, some biological issues happen. Blood pressure rises, digestive system cannot function properly, heart and pulse rate rises, muscles becomes tense, lack of interest, sleeplessness, immune system goes weak, rapid breathing and the like.
Stress is part of life. But we can reduce them. Don’t you know that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it? That’s a quote by Charles Swindoll. We cannot control over the things that happens to us. Like for example, there’s a heavy traffic on the freeway. We cannot control over this situation. And that’s only 10% of our life. When you are under stress, bring your senses to the rescue. You have to slow down and think and decide on how to act clearly.

Computer vision syndrome
What is computer vision syndrome or CVS? Computer vision syndrome is a temporary eye condition resulting from spending hours daily in front of a computer screen or focusing the eyes on a computer display for long period. This is the common eye condition among computer users nowadays.
Symptoms:
* Headache
* neckpain
* fatigue
* eye strain
* blurred vision
* irritated eyes
* double vision
* difficulty refocusing the eyes
Actually, these symptoms can become intense by lighting conditions.
To avoid getting CVS:
The top of the screen should be at eye level. The ideal gaze angle is 10 to 20 degrees below the eye. A screen that is too high can lead to dry, irritated eyes because it forces you to constantly keep your eyes wide open and blink less frequently. A screen that is too high can also cause headaches and neck and upper back pain because the head is tilted back to see.
Get hydrated. Drink a lot of liquids. Insuffient water intake can worsen irritated, dry eyes.
Take a break every 20 minutes and stare at the something that is 20 feet from you.
Take a walk and look at some green plants.
Take a deep breath and relax. You can close your eyes for a minute or two.
