Brand new laptop for business

I bit the bullet and decided to buy myself a new laptop specifically for work.

My stomach always gives a little flip flop when I spend big money and it was doing full on cartwheels when I bought myself this very nice (but very expensive) Macbook Air. This is the first time I have ever made payments on a credit card, I've always just paid the full balance at the end of each month, and I'm somewhat scared. It’s all worth it though. Everything is clean and crisp, it’s functional and extremely mobile.

I own a Beast (coincidentally what I've nicknamed it) of an Asus G74sx and while it is a great gaming laptop, it is extremely large and heavy to carry around anywhere. I will continue to play games and record on that, while I reserve my Jesse work, blogging, vlogging and so on for my Airbook.

Does anyone have their own Macbook Air or Macbook Pro? Any suggestions for good applications that benefit office and/or blogging work? Or great applications in general?

Breathe deep

Poor breathing robs your energy and negatively affects mental alertness by preventing enough fresh oxygen from reaching the blood stream. Without properly expanding the rib cage the surrounding muscles get stiff, causing inhalation to become more difficult.

Rapid shallow breathing often caused by poor posture and weak or stiff muscles leads to poor oxygen supply, respiratory disease, sluggish reflexes and/or heart disease.

To practice breathing correctly…

• Sit up straight.
• Place one hand on your belly.
• Breathe slow and deep, feeling your hand rise and fall.
• Let your shoulders drop.
• Feel your body relax and renew.

I take about 4 seconds to breathe in (expanding my belly out) and 4 seconds to breathe out. Eventually your muscles, lungs and ribcage will adjust, allowing you to breathe correctly on your own, without relying on the exercises.
