RE-POST; Silvia's Advice: How to deal with stress.

Do to a copyright complaint I had to remove a picture...which one not sure...So I just took them all off. From now on all pictures will be my own or properly given acknowledgment like it should have been in the first place...so I apologize. I am a photographer in the making so I know what it is like.

Hello my lovely bloggers,

I wrote my Glee review and didn't hit the post button and at some moment my internet got turned off and it didn't save so I have to rewrite it. So with that said all that yuckiness leads me to my subject of the day;

Subject: How to deal with Stress.
Questions: Silvia how do you deal with Stress? What is "stress"?


As a student and worker I know what who and what stress is. It is the worst friend to have over for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Stress comes in so many different forms of appearance. Many get Headaches, Rashes, stress knots in muscles, eyes, stomach, name a body part im sure you can get stress building up there.

I have had stress headaches better known as tension headaches and you just feel this pounding and squeezing all in your head. Rashes I have only gotten when i was planning for events, and its an irritation in the skin that you feel the need to scratch or you scratch an area of skin because you think it's irritated but its not and you just need something to do to release some stress. Stress knots now this is called something funky in Spanish but basically it's when your muscles start tying up in a knot from overwhelmed stress. I have had all three of these forms of stress including a stomach virus which are often caused by stress. All these facts come from the many doctor visits i have had in the many stressful moments in my life.

Yes stress can get so bad you can be sent to the doctor or worse you can be hospitalized.

Now that you know about the different forms of stress how can you deal with it?
here a few things that have helped me in times of stress.

1.) Coloring

Yes you read right coloring as coloring in coloring books. I have found that if you color a picture you can release any stress anger into the crayon. They use this Technic in child psychologist's offices. If the child's crayon is light brushes on the paper he or she is emotional if it is pushed hard on the paper he or she is stressed/angered. They also have lines and circles and what not to determin more. I have found that coloring helps relieve a little stress.

2.) Video Games

Wah? did Silvia just tell me to play video games? Yes I did playing video games often takes the mind off things for a little while and lets you take any anger or stress out on the game. So if you have a game system play a fighting game, some intense sport, something that will help you.

3.) Exercise

The most rewarding way you can release your stress is exercise. Go to your local gym or your own gym jump on a machine and just let it all out for an hour. Dont over do it cause then you will be wishing you hadn't and then get stressed some more because you are in pain.

Don't have a coloring book where you are simply draw on a piece of paper with a pen just doodling for a little while will help.

Don't have a game system, it's simple just exercise.

Don't have machines to exercise on take a jog around the blog a few times, running helps all your thoughts rush through your brain.

What do you do to relieve stress? Do you do any of the same things as me?

So my blog is late but its better than not posting one right?

I love you all so much im soo sorry I have not been on top of things lately.

Silvia's Advice: How to prepare for an interview (9/30/10)

Hello my lovely lady bugs...and...male bugs,

Sorry my blog is late I don't even want to tell you my excuse because I feel like I have been telling them too often. So here is Thursday's blog.

Subject: How to prepare for an interview.
Question: How do I dress for an interview, What kind of questions do they ask?



Any one who has been to any kind of interview knows how stressful this can be. So many things are rushing through your head the day before the interview up to the moment you sit down for the interview. Whether your going for School or a job.

The number one thing to worry about before your interview is your appearance, you want their first impression to be blown away by elegance. If you are dressed properly you earn some points. Remember you have to dress for the job, so if you are going for an interview for a job that requires getting sweaty and dirty don't go in sunflower dress and bring your coach bag.

Real Experience: I went for a job interview at target for flow team, which is basically night shelf stockers. I dressed in White dress Pants with a Halter top with a low V-neck black cotton sweater over it and 3 inch black heals. I had a soft black smokey eye and light tinted pink lips. Full foundations coral cheeks and contoured cheek bones. My hair was well done I had the whole enchilada. I went in and the assistant gave me a look like are you sure your interviewing for the right job. I was asked about 90 questions and was on my way home. I got an "EMAIL" 8 days later saying I wasn't fit for the job and sorry your not hired. pfff what ever...sorry I looked too good for you. ;-)

Never go in jeans and t-shirt your will get low brownie points for that. Even if you were going for an interview for a stocking job semi dress up. If you want to wear jeans dress them up. Wear a nice sweater and maybe some boots or 1 inch dress heals. If you are a male my best suggestion would be a button up dress shirt with a sweater vest or full sleeve sweater over it. Pull the collar out of course, and then put your sunday shoes on and you look good for a interview.

The questions they ask in job interviews are your basic What would you do?
What would you do if a customer was unhappy about a price?
As well as how would your rate your self 1-4 4 being the best
Brings a positive attitude even if your having a bad day
1-never 2-depends 3-sometimes 4-all the time.

These questions are what lots of places call "personality test"

you will also be asked about any job experiences you had and depending on your age they will ask about school. What you did in school how active you were and so on.

My number one advice for any interview you go to is "BE YOURSELF" don't try and be somebody you are not. Especially for job interviews because any false thing you say will come back to sometime. If your a shy person try and be open all jobs like social
workers so they can interact with other workers and customers. If you are a loud social person show that you are but not too loud, they don't want obnoxious workers. Unless thats a job requirement.

Well I hope some my advice helped.

I wish all of my lovely readers the best of luck in your next interview.
