[T971]Tired Of Being Tired

by Nigel Howell, Nig

In order to kick yourself into action, you should follow a couple of simple tips.

Depression
You should think of your tiredness as depression. Most people often separate the two, however, quite often they are associated. If you’re tired then you are more than likely depressed. It’s not a chronic condition and you don’t need to use any medication, you just need to take evasive action to improve your depression. Here are some pointers to stop you feeling depressed.

Make sure you hold your head up high as if you slouch then you will make yourself depressed. No slouching!

Take deep breaths, when you’re depressed you probably breathe in with shallow breaths and out with long breaths.

Cut carbohydrates and sugar out of your diet, these may give you an artificial high, but that’s not really what you want. Just make sure that you are prepared for the withdrawal, there are side effects to reducing your carbohydrate intake.

Be positive, focus on the good things. For example, when giving up sugar and carbs, never think of yourself giving it up – you are improving your natural energy levels. Make sure you focus on the good, that is you’re getting your life back on track.

Don’t expect too much, if you have high expectations then you have more to lose. Plus, you will get yourself too worked up thinking about anything negative that might happen.

Antidepressants come in many different forms, not just medication. For example, any form of aerobic exercise is an antidepressant, yoga for example is a fantastic antidepressant.

Alcohol on the other hand is not an anti-depressant, it’s the exact opposite! So avoid it as much as possible.

Meditation
You should try to learn some form of meditation. Personally, I think Zen is by far the best form of meditation. You can use meditation to get to know yourself. Depression starts when you don’t like yourself. You should teach yourself to be comfortable around yourself. Just take some time out to think about what you are doing rather than writing it down.

I want doesn’t get
The trouble with humans is that we’re all pushy. We know exactly what we want, which in itself is no problem, but the problem comes when we want so much! If you’ve ever listened to your children 90% of what they talk about is things that they want! Don’t think about what you want and don’t want, you should think about your goals and continually re-evaluate them. You should think about your life in small steps, all of which you can be proud of.

For example, you get out of bed everyday, that in itself is an achievement! Also congratulate yourself over anything that you do, perhaps you helped an old woman with her bags, or perhaps you complemented someone. You should be proud of everything you do, stop thinking about what would make your life perfect.

Live everyday to it’s full and be proud of yourself!

Brochures are one of the cornerstones of effective advertising, but not all brochures are equally effective. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been in an office and noticed brochure stands that are dust covered and seemingly neglected. The difference between a space filler and an advertising dynamo is care in design, so don't let your brochures become tired and stale. Consider some of the following ideas when planning your brochure printing.

- Grab them before they go. Most people will not open a brochure that doesn't give some real benefit or a compelling reason on the front cover. Keep your company name down at the bottom of the front cover and leave room at the top for your headline. Additionally, unless your company's logo is integrated into your company name, consider placing it on the back cover. That way it is still prominent, but isn't detracting from your attention grabber on the cover.

- Image is everything. Clearly, full color brochures are going to be more visually engaging than black and white or simple, two color brochures. Your brochure design should project a professional image and should appear modern and savvy to the customer. Stay away from crowded, overly small text, empty clichés, recycled art and photos, and low quality image resolution. A professional quality brochure design shows you care.

- Focus on what you have to offer. Don't overwhelm them by trying to fit your entire catalogue into a three panel brochure. Feature the benefits of a select family of products or services. Include products in your brochure that logically go together. You've enticed the reader to open and read your brochure, so you don‘t want to lose them on a confused mess of seemingly unrelated items as soon as they open it.

- Keep it simple. Even if you are selling supercomputers to rocket scientists, overly technical writing is going to be a chore to read. Display your products and give the basic information without a lot of industry jargon that might go over your customers head. Chances are, if they are interested enough to want to know the cubic volume of your product they will call you and ask.

- Remember your purpose. When it comes down to it. You are printing brochures with one goal in mind. Enticing people to buy your products or services. When someone picks up your brochure they aren't looking for a chronological history of your company or personal information about your career in the industry. They are expecting you to sell them something. Don't waste space that can be used for product display or sales pitches.

Brochures can be one of the most versatile tools in your proverbial advertising tool belt or they can sit in you office attracting dust bunnies. There's no excuse to put up with the same tired brochures. You run a thriving, professional company and your brochures should reflect that.
