The Power of Positive Thinking

Positive thinking is key to your entire lifestyle. If you want to achieve a goal you must be positive. Positive thinking can be achieved in so many ways and it is what will help you become motivated to do things in your life. If you are negative about achieving a goal you will procrastinate and not want to work toward the goal. There are many ways you can maintain a positive attitude.

Focus on the Important Things

It is very common for people to focus their energy on things that are not important. When your emotional energy is spent on things that are not important it can be very draining. The first thing you need to do is to be very clear about the things in your life that are important to you. Create a mission and a vision for your life and your goals. These things are important to you. This way, when you become upset about something you can take a step back when you get upset and decide if it really is worth the energy or not. In most cases you will find that you are wasting energy and getting upset about certain circumstances and things that you shouldn’t. This can be unhealthy and is very bad. When you are clear about the important things you will maintain a positive attitude and you will not get upset as much.

Maintain Good Health

Motivation also means you must be a healthy person. You cannot have a positive attitude when you don’t take care of your body. There are three primary things you need to do in order to create a healthy body. These things include eating right, sleep, and getting plenty of exercise.

Your diet can have a lot to do with the way you feel on a daily basis. A balanced diet can make you feel good everyday and positive. If you drink too much soda you might create a caffeine addiction which causes headaches. This can not only cause a bad attitude because you have a headache but you also won’t be motivated to do anything either.

Eating a balanced and healthy diet means cutting out the fatty foods, the sugars, alcohol, and other things that get you down. A balanced diet can help you lose weight too. Being overweight can be a factor that causes you to be unhappy with yourself and have a negative attitude. The best diet is one full of fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken, and a lot of water. Watch your portion sizes too. If you are consuming the right foods you might just need to cut down on the sizes of portions you eat.

Exercise is also important to have a good attitude. Everyone should exercise on a daily basis. You should take at least 15 minutes of everyday to exercise. You don’t have to do aerobics or something too strenuous. Walking is the best thing you can do for your body. A brisk 15 minute walk everyday will make you feel great and completely change your attitude. This will also make you motivated and create a positive attitude about the directions you can go in your life.

If you are someone who is restricted to a desk for a large portion of your day and you don’t think you have time to exercise that is just an excuse. There are desk exercises you can do while you are sitting at your desk. During your lunch hour you might choose to walk around the exterior of the building or even in the hallways of the interior of the building too. The stairs at your walk could create an excellent workout also.

Bagged Vs Bagless

As with most things in life, there is really nothing free. The two most claimed advantages to bagless vacuum cleaners were lower operating costs and  better performance. As far as the cost issues go, all vacuums must filter the exhausting air they use to carry the dirt into the collection area, as they would otherwise simply pick the dirt up from the  floor and spit it right back out.

Whether you have a bagless HEPA filter, a pre-filter, or disposable bags, they all need to be changed at
some point.  With the average life of a vacuum cleaner, you can expect to spend the same on either collection system for filters, but if you value your time, you can expect to spend quite a bit more on  a bagless system.

To keep your bagless vacuum cleaner operating at peak levels, you'll need to empty the dirt container when it is full and perform regular maintenance on the filter. The type of filter the vacuum uses will determine just how much service will be required, although most use a pleated HEPA filter.

Cleaning
Even though the claim of better airflow performance with bagless vacuums is true in a sense, over the life of the vacuum you'll get the same, or maybe even better performance from a bagged vacuum cleaner system. 

With bagged vacuum cleaners, the performance will start at 100% with each new bag then slowly drop as the bag starts to fill. Just how quickly the performance drops depends on how well the bag is constructed. With the average vacuum and the average bag, you may replace the bag every 3 - 4 weeks  with 90% of performance the first week, 70% in weeks 2 and 3, then 50% of less in the fourth week.

The short cycle will insure that you get a 100% peak cleaning every 3 or 4 weeks from the vacuum cleaner. The filtered cyclonic machines have filters that are designed to last 6 months, 12 months, and even up to 18 months before they need to be replaced.

Pets
If you have dogs or cats, whether you see it or not, almost all domestic animals shed their fur on a regular basis throughout their lives.  Pet owners often wonder as well, which vacuum is the best to remove pet hair.

For pretty much the same reasons that fur sticks  to the carpet, it will also stick to your bagless vacuum's pleated filter cartridge.  The fur will reduce the performance of airflow, and is also a  pain in the neck to clean off the filter. 

Over time, the fiber that makes up the filter can retain odor from pets, even if you clean the  filter well.  If your filter requires replacing only once a year, you could end up with a vacuum that spits odors that will stink up your house  pretty bad. 

Bagged up Those vacuums that use bags will often provide for neat disposal of a full bag.  There are some
brands such as BOSCH that actually engineer bag disposal into the system. With BOSCH canister vacuums, the replacement of bags is a single dust free step. The new mega filt bags have a built in closure system that upon removal, will slide shut and trap the dirt and debris inside of the bag, making removal quick and easy.

Still, there are many people out there who love bagless machines. Bagless vacuums will continue at a slow place to gain market share, and people will continue to buy them.  For many, a bagless vacuum can be the right vacuum to have. 

Bags are the technology of the past, while bagless is the technology of the future.  There are many reasons as to why you should go bagless. For the vacuums of tomorrow, cylinder and bagless is the key.
