#beerfear

As mentioned in our last insta www.instagram.com/drinksurviveovercome post, pounding headaches, dry mouth and nausea are all a clear indication that you should stay in bed today and get some rest. 

Even if you’ve got an ever-growing pile of paperwork waiting for your on your desk at work, sucking it up and seemingly overdosing on your non-drowsy medicine of choice simply won’t do the trick. 

Taking time off work is tricky business, especially when it’s an unplanned sick day and while there’s no easy way to call in sick to work, these three tips will help you beat the blues and minimize the throwback of being absent. After all sometimes you need to think to yourself;

Firstly: Consider your Efficiency?

If you won’t be able to do your job properly, it’s best if you don’t go into the office. It’s no good staring at a screen with fuzzy eyes and a pounding headache if you’re just going to end up making mistake after mistake. If you haven’t slept well the night before, you’re groggy or you’re taking medication that induces drowsiness, then your safety and the safety of your colleagues is at risk if you head into work.

Secondly: Follow your companies procedure!

Follow the correct protocol that’s mentioned in your company’s employee handbook or the preferred method of your manager. For some, this means calling a few hours before the start of your shift, while others prefer being notified via email as soon as the first symptoms begin. Some employers will require a doctor’s note if you’re ill for more than a day. 

Tertiary: Don't Try to Sound Convincing

Managers can see through fake coughs and exaggerated ‘sick voices’ – and let’s face it: when you are actually ill, you don’t sound too much different than your normal self (unless you have a blocked nose, of course). You don’t need to put on a show, just a heads up that you’ll be out of the office until you’re feeling better.

Wishing our weekend warriors a successful sick call (or email)! Let us now on fb if you've ever called in sick for work? Tell us your stories!

Don’t let your hangover ruin your week. The following will not only help your immune system in this orange weather warning but expedite the cure!

No. 1: Citrus Fruits 

Most people turn to vitamin C after they've caught a cold. That’s because it helps build up your immune system. Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells. 

No. 2: Broccoli

Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins and minerals. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, as well as many other antioxidants and fiber, broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your table. The key to keeping its power intact is to cook it as little as possible — or better yet, not at all.

No. 3: Nuts

Maybe you’re not one for getting up and being pro-active when your hungover. Its okay to slob in bed - your body needs the rest to recover!  Dealing with people is probably the last thing on your mind..Settle in for a movie day and cry or laugh it out!

While drinking feels like a good idea at the time, many people wake up the next day swearing to “never drink again” because the physiological and psychological impact feels so terrible. Although they inevitably do drink again, as soon as the following weekend. 

When we wake up with a sore head and a foggy memory, we quickly jump to feeling anxious about what happened the night before. 

The ‘beer fear’ does not necessarily mean something bad happened, it’s just that the potential is there. We have to piece together the parts of the night where something could have gone wrong, something you might have said or regret or may be that you simply drank too much and made a fool out of yourself!

TED talks are a great resource to educate and motivate yourself. The beer fear can be rough but inevitably we made the decision to drink and cant be too down on ourselves. 

Scratch all the time wasting and watch the TEDx talk below and motivate yourself to get our of bed and get things done!
