Ever thought that tired eyes at the end of the day are a normal part of life? Well, you’re certainly not the only one who had assumed that.

Most people assumed that the more they use their eyes, the more tired it will get, and therefore it’s normal to feel a strain and perhaps a little headache once in a while.

Fact is, it’s not. Sight is one of our senses as a human. Have your ears, tongue, skin or smell felt tired of doing their job? No. That’s because they work subconsciously, out of our immediate control. When you enter a room with air-conditioning, you just FEEL cool. You don’t have to try.

Consciously take notice of your eyes right now. Is it moving or is it staying still?

If you’re myopic or farsighted, I can bet that it’s still. It’s passive. There’s little movement if any. Now, I want you to do a little “exercise” to see how your eyes really work.

I want you to close your eyes and lightly place your index and middle fingers on it. Just enough to feel your eyeballs, but not hard enough to press on them. Done it yet? After you place your fingers on your eyeballs, I want you to roll your eyes.

Mornings are the best time to do anything beneficial. Things like eating a healthy breakfast, exercising and if you’re religious, praying. This is because doing something in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day.

If you ate healthily in the morning, you are less likely to eat unhealthily later in the day. On the other hand, if you ate unhealthily in the morning, you’d probably eat things equally unhealthy later in the day. There’s a psychological theory about this kind behaviour but I’m not going into that.

I’d to start this post by apologizing for my long absence since the last post. I was busy moving house and holidaying in Egypt.

And during that period of absence, I’ve received a considerable amount of emails asking me various questions which I will address in the future. For now, let’s settle the 2 most popular ones.

Q1. I’ve been doing this for X amount time, why haven’t I see any improvement?

Q2. How long will I need to do the exercises before I see improvement?
