Headaches are one of the greatest productivity killers. When you’re trying to get something done and a headache comes on, it’s game over.

Even if you try to make it through, you’re not going to be nearly as productive and you’re likely going to be more miserable than ever.

While it’s no fun, there are some natural and simple methods to cure your headache!

The Quick and Natural Way to Cure Headaches

The idea behind relieving a headache is to do it naturally and quickly. There are plenty of over-the-counter medications, but they have their own side effects that just create a new problem.

If taken too frequently, headache medicines may even lose their effectiveness.

Here are some natural headache remedies that you can use to quickly eliminate that headache:

If you’re at home, take a warm bath. Many headaches are caused by contracted muscles and a hot bath will relax those muscles.This is especially great for tension headaches.

If it is a stress headache, exercising can relieve it. Taking a walk to increase blood circulation can help dramatically.

If the headache is caused by dehydration, drinking water can help, but it may take several glasses until the problem is solved.

Massaging the shoulders and neck can relieve a tension headache. This is because the tightened muscles causing the headache are loosened.

For a caffeine, sinus, or allergy headache, a cold or hot compress can make the headache go away.

Try to sleep the same hours every night. Too little or too much sleep can cause headaches. You also want to try to keep a consistent bedtime.

Try not to sit, stand, or work in the same position for long periods of time. This can put strain on your back, shoulders, and neck.This strain can lead to a tension headache, so change position frequently to keep this from occurring.

If bright lights make your head hurt, avoid them. If you already have a headache, try to sit in a room with minimal light.People with migraines tend to benefit from this technique.

Reduce your intake of caffeine in order to avoid caffeine headaches. This can be one of the worst types of headaches.Unfortunately, there are many people who attempt to solve this headache by taking in more caffeine.
The problem is that this type of headache tends to be caused by caffeine withdrawal, so it’s a catch 22.

Avoid foods that trigger headaches. If you notice a pattern that your head hurts after eating a certain food, that is your sign to avoid it.Try eating organic fruits and vegetables because of their nutritional value and health benefits.

Since everyone is different, different remedies will work for different people.

You may need to experiment to find out which one is going to work best for you. Once you find your remedy, stick to it.

How to Prevent Headaches

You can prevent headaches by controlling your stress levels, exercising, and eating balanced meals.

All of these go hand-in-hand because stress can be relieved by exercising and eating healthy foods.

It may require a lifestyle change, but you’ll not only feel better but you’ll relieve the majority of your headaches!

By implementing these changes and eliminating your headaches, you’ll boost your quality of life and get more done.

As my mind receives a daily workout from life’s events, I also give my body the physical workout it deserves.

November 5, 2017

I can neutralize bad habits with good food, exercise, and healthy living.

I have access to a vast library of knowledge about life, and with this knowledge I can neutralize bad habits with good food, exercise, and healthy living.

It may take courage to make a positive lifestyle change, but I am fully confident that I will see great success in my life.

I no longer want to live in fear of habitual distaste. I want to enjoy my life now and in the years to come.

The only way to do this is to make positive choices. I want to live a long and full life.

The world is addicted to things that are not good for them.

It may seem as though no one cares for the consequences, but I am not among that number. I am choosing change.

I hold no reservations about my decision because I know it will only make me stronger, healthy and better.

It is time to stop the bad habits and replace them with strong, positives ones.

I want to set an example for others. I want to be accountable for the actions that count.

I aim to be the person who speaks out against bad habits and addictions and I long to see others follow in my footsteps.

For too long, we have been a nation that looks for the quick way out. I won’t join in the long line of fast food or addition, but instead, I choose to continue to embrace my new life.

I have no regrets for the decision I have made. Rather, it has given me a renewed outlook on life that I so very much deserve.

What can you do to change your bad habits?

How will you use your new experience to help others?

Get Out of Debt by Balancing Your Checkbook

If you want financial freedom, you need to pay off your debts as quickly as you can.

This may sound obvious, but if it were so obvious, why are so many of us in debt to begin with?

Financial freedom begins with balancing your checkbook.

This means what goes into your checking account must be greater than (or at least equal to) what comes out.

If what comes out of your checking account exceeds what goes into it, you’re living with a deficit.

This may mean that you’re simply not paying the bills you need to pay or you’re depleting your savings and, at some point, you’ll run out of money.

What Is Deficit Financing?

Deficit financing means you’re buy things on credit, either by using credit cards or by taking out loans, such as a loan against the equity of your home. Any way you slice it, you’re taking on more debt.

If you make the minimum monthly payment on a credit card, it could take 30 years to pay off the debt and, in between those minimum payments, interest continues to accrue at astronomical rates.

At the end of all this, you’ll pay much more for the product or service than the original price tag, even though you got more time to pay off the bill.

Deficit financing – spending more than you make – can be a short-term solution in tough times, but in the long-run, it will never bring you the financial freedom you need.

Banks are eager to give people what they think they want – buying “stuff” with other people’s money.

Many consumers see financed debts as “free” money, but needless to say this is ridiculous!

You have to pay the piper sooner or later, and it’s always better to pay him as soon as possible.

There is no such thing as free money; you either have to borrow it and pay it back with interest, you have to earn it, or you have to make it.

You earn money by working for somebody else
You make money by running your own business and providing goods or services that are needed by others
You borrow it by using credit cards, loans, and lines of credit.

How To Balance Your Checkbook

Balancing your checkbook is all about getting and staying out of debt. So how do you accomplish this balance?

Well, it all begins with tracking every financial transaction: cash, credit, or debit.

You should keep all of your receipts. This includes whenever you pull out money from an ATM or use your debit card to pay a bill.

Keep all of your canceled checks in a safe place.At least once a month, check your existing checking account balance according to your calculations against your bank statement.
This is much easier to do these days than it used to be thanks to the Internet, so you should be checking fairly frequently.

List every bank fee in your checkbook register, including overdrafts, returned check fees, or late fees from your creditors.Schedule electronic payments for your bills to eliminate late fees and balance your checkbook regularly to eliminate other bank fees.

Become Money Conscious

Only you have control over becoming debt-free and wealthy. Learning smart money management tips will put you on the path to financial freedom.

Make a household budget with all your monthly expenses and compare it to your checkbook and bill schedule.

Seek advice from trusted experts about ways to cut down your monthly expenses to eliminate the reliance on credit cards and loans.

Your objective is to pay out less from your account than you are putting into it.

If you aren’t doing this, you’ll need to figure out how you can cut expenses as soon as possible to reach financial freedom.

How can this help you better your life?

What can you gain from financial freedom in your life?
