Stress Balls
Control that Karma
Forgot I had these ! Looking for something to 'kwik-blip' remembered that I bought these in China Town in San Francisco. Quite a timely find, as we are into Day 7 of the project and the foundations are dug, concrete is in, breeze blocks are being laid, steel girders are ordered and we have been given 12 hours notice that the side of the kitchen needs to be cleared as they want to put a temporary wall up whilst they knock holes in it...... Stress !
Stress at work as well - the continual pressure to perform at ever higher levels and be all things to all people. We now only talk in terms of top quartile publications, 3 and 4 star qualities, evidence based impact, league tables, deadlines, deadlines and more deadlines. Few people smile any more - and I fear we will all start to work to live as opposed to live to work. What ever happened to having fun, being creative and being trusted to be a professional. New Public Sector Management practices have now become embedded into our modern culture. I wonder who is responsible for creating this Chimera'
Stress !
For the more inquisitive - concerning the balls !
Baoding balls (Chinese: ?????; pinyin: B?o?dìng? Jiàn?sh?n Qiú??, literally "Baoding physical exercise balls") are also known as Chinese exercise balls, Chinese meditation balls, Chinese medicine balls, and healthy balls. They are a traditional product of Baoding, China, thought to have been created during the Ming dynasty. Two or more Baoding balls are rotated repetitively in the hand to improve manual dexterity and strength, and they are also said to assist in injury recovery. (Wikipedia)
