Q: Even if it's just a 10-minute walk around your office building, putting yourself in a different environment for a bit helps your brain stay active and engaged. When you find yourself getting drowsy, you'll be a lot more productive if you go ahead and take that break. Be strict about taking your breaks. Even if you have a big deadline or project, working too much will cloud your mind. Take a small break every two to three hours and you will be more productive. If you can go outside, do it - even if its raining or freezing outside. The change in temperature will shock your body out of its afternoon lull. Get up and walk around frequently. When you sit in one place for too long, your circulation is impacted - and that has a big effect on your state of mind. The smell of citrus boosts serotonin, the hormone that puts you in a positive, uplifted mood. Having some orange or grapefruit wedges - or any other type of citrus - is a great way to overcome your mid-afternoon slump. Even squeezing a lemon into your glass of water can help. Ginseng is a natural stimulant that improves brain function. Having a cup of ginseng tea or taking 100 milligrams of ginseng extract can help improve your focus. Also, It will help your brain to feel refreshed. Ask your doctor before taking supplements. Ginseng should be avoided if you have high blood pressure. You might crave a latte and a cookie when 4:00 rolls around, but caffeine and sugar will only cause you to crash after a temporary high. For sustained energy and alertness, drink water or tea instead of coffee, and eat a high-protein snack like almonds. Maybe you don't think you're in the mood, but it can't hurt to give it a try! Put on the kind of music you usually dance to come Friday night. Soon your feet will be tapping and your head will be nodding - you won't be able to help yourself. Your slightly elevated heart rate will help you perk back up in no time. You can also catch up on an article, listen to an interesting podcast, learn a language, or do anything else that will get you excited and help you refocus. Instead of resisting the urge to close your eyes, give in! Taking a 15 to 20 minute nap will go a long way toward helping you feel much more alert. An afternoon nap might be just what you need to get through the rest of the day, especially if you didn't sleep well the night before.
A: Get a change of scene. Eat an orange or grapefruit. Drink ginseng tea. Avoid caffeine and sugar later in the day. Listen to upbeat music. Take a power nap.

Article: More children suffer from OCD than most people realize. According to the director of the Children's Center for OCD and Anxiety in Philadelphia, more than a million children in the US have OCD. That means, 1 in 100 children in America have OCD. Unlike adults who can recognize they have OCD, children do not understand that they have OCD. Instead, children may view their repetitive thoughts or actions as shameful and feel like they are going crazy. This makes many children too embarrassed to tell an adult of their problems. The average age that OCD manifests is 10.2 OCD seems to appear equally in boys and girls. One part of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a tendency to obsess. Obsessions are persistent or repetitive thoughts, images, ideas, or impulses that rise repeatedly into a person's consciousness. The child cannot shake the thoughts, which become increasingly realistic to him. The unwanted thoughts can be frightening and if unresolved, they can leave your child anxious and distracted, making them appear mentally unbalanced. These thoughts can cause a lot of doubt. These thoughts can tell the child something bad is going to happen to someone they care about. The second part of OCD is a tendency toward compulsive behavior. Compulsions are excessively repetitive and rigid behaviors or actions that are performed to reduce anxiety, ward off bad thoughts, or banish something dreaded. The child can do these actions mentally or physically. The actions are often in response to obsessions to help lessen the fear and can seem like strong habits. In general, compulsions are easier to spot you don't necessarily know what your child is thinking, but if you pay attention, you'll be able to observe compulsive behavior. Some parents believe the symptoms of OCD are just a phase. They also believe their children are acting out to get attention. If your child has OCD, this is not the case. OCD is a neurological disorder. It is not your fault that the child has OCD, so do not blame yourself. Children with OCD may have one or more co-occurring conditions. These include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, autism, or Tourette Syndrome. Other disorders share similarities with OCD and can be confused with it. These include body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, hair-pulling and skin-picking disorder.

Q: As long as you keep up with your payment plan as spelled out in your promissory note, you are on track to successfully repaying your loan. Even if you are able to meet the payments without difficulties, you and the lender might prefer to put a buffer up so that you are not the ones handling the payments directly. Consider hiring a loan manager to deal with the payments and send any reminder notices, annual reports, and other documents. Having an outside person dealing with the everyday administration of the loan can help you have a more normal relationship with the borrower. A major factor in a successful private loan is your ability to maintain clear communication and honest transparency with the lender. The lender should make herself available to talk, and hear you out if you have run into temporary financial difficulty. The borrower has a responsibility to be direct and honest with the lender from the start and throughout. If you are anticipating having problems making a payment, speak to the lender as soon as possible and be prepared to offer a sensible alternative. You might like to set up regular meetings or conversations so you can both keep track of the loan. This gives you a formal forum to discuss any issues and work together to find mutually beneficial solutions. If you run into financial difficulty, and are struggling to make the payments, you should be prepared to work hard to make accommodations which ensure the borrower gets repaid. Treat the loan as you would a loan from a bank, and work with the lender to come up with an alternative payment schedule. This could mean increasing the duration of the loan from ten to fifteen years, or altering the repayment schedule so a greater proportion of the loan is paid off in later years. Remember that you have to make an offer that benefits the lender as well. If you're asking for a significant extension to the duration of the loan, be prepared to marginally increase the rate of interest. A big part of treating the loan as a professional agreement is keeping it isolated from your day-to-day interactions. Try to avoid talking about the loan at family occasions or when socialising. Keep it something you discuss at specific times, and try to contain it. This will be a lot easier if all the agreements are clear, and everybody is sticking to them.
A:
Repay the loan as agreed. Keep the lines of communication open. Be open to restructuring. Keep the loan separate from your relationship.
