      Mercury is in retrograde: Buckle up, here’s how to protect your mental health

      Navigating the Annual Phase of Mercury Retrograde.
      This frequently memed celestial phenomenon alludes to a series of disruptions that tend to crop up during specific periods annually.
      Proponents of astrology believe that when Mercury is in retrograde, a vulnerable window opens up for communication breakdowns, relationship hiccups, and misunderstandings with those close to us. It’s as if cosmic interference temporarily disturbs our usual patterns of interaction.
      But what exactly does “Mercury in retrograde” signify? Beyond its meme-worthy reputation, this expression refers to an astrological event where Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, appears to move slower than the Earth as they both orbit around the sun.

      Normally, Mercury completes its orbit in 88 days, while Earth takes 365 days. However, during retrograde, Mercury’s slower pace creates an optical illusion that it’s moving backward. This phenomenon holds significance in astrology as Mercury is said to govern areas such as communication, technology, travel, news, and information. Therefore, when retrograde occurs, a series of mishaps—missed connections, miscommunications—can be expected.
      Wondering why people react strongly to Mercury retrograde? It’s because Mercury’s influence over communication is believed to take on negative undertones during retrograde motion. This can manifest in lost emails, disrupted travel plans, and even shifts in relationships and misunderstandings. Some effects attributed to this period include brain fog, anxiety, headaches, and uncertainties in work and personal projects.

      What can one do—or not do—during Mercury retrograde to navigate these challenges?

      If you’re concerned about its potential impact, consider prioritizing self-care and a more deliberate pace.
      Refrain from making significant decisions or starting new projects until after the retrograde has passed.
      Avoid engaging in conflicts, as misunderstandings could be amplified during this time.
      If emotions are running high, practice deep breathing or meditation to alleviate stress. It’s worth noting that even if you don’t personally subscribe to the phenomenon’s effects, those around you might. Thus, offering support and understanding is crucial.
      Maintain perspective and avoid taking things personally

      Remember, Mercury retrograde might be a celestial event with varying beliefs, but its impact on people’s lives is undeniable. Whether you’re a steadfast believer or a skeptic, embracing mindfulness and empathy during this phase is a universally valuable approach.

      How To Romanticize Your Career This Fall

      by

      When it comes to social media trends, I don’t think there’s one I’ve fallen for more than the trend of romanticizing different areas of your life (get it?!). Lame jokes aside, romanticizing is the idea that you can add pleasure and enjoyment to things beyond just dating or your relationships. It’s about living a quiet life and intentionally making an environment you love to spend time in, whether that’s by cooking meals you enjoy, refreshing your space to be more you, or taking yourself on dates on a regular basis. It’s the antithesis to the hustle culture we all grew up in, and I was so excited to give it a try when I stumbled across it.
      After spending some time romanticizing my day-to-day life for a while, it got me thinking about whether the trend could also be applied to my career, and if so, how? Working a 9-5 or being self-employed isn’t an area that we often think about as being soft and enjoyable, but maybe there’s a way to bring in some of the best parts of romanticizing. I’ve spent the last month trying to romanticize my career and have thoroughly enjoyed the process, and now I’m sharing what I’ve learned along the way so you can too.

      Change your mindset
      If you’re working a job that doesn’t make you leap out of bed every morning, you’re not alone. Having to work for a living isn’t something that most of us want to do, but that doesn’t mean you should view it as a chore and slog through the day—waiting until 5pm or Friday to roll around is no way to live. When I decided to pull in elements of romanticizing to my career, the first place I started was looking at what I liked about my job. I love writing and I love the flow I get into while strategizing and editing other people’s work, so I chose to focus on that part of my role and remind myself how lucky I am to get paid to do that. It might sound fluffy, but I found myself having less Sunday scaries leading up to the work week and more enjoyment in the moment when I made a real effort to focus on the positives of my career throughout the day.

      Create a space that makes you happy
      This tip was the biggest game changer when it came to adding more joy and intentionality to my work. I don’t know about everyone else, but sometimes I get so set on the functionality of my office that I don’t take the time to optimize it for what I actually like. With the goal of creating a space that made me feel like the main character in a cozy fall rom-com, I revamped my home office and brought in some fall candles, hung some aesthetic prints from Etsy, lit my diffuser, and swapped out my clunky black office chair for a cute beige fuzzy one (that still supported my back, because that’s key!). Trust me when I tell you that it made a world of difference when I sat down to do my work in a space that was so pretty and calming.
      If you’re in a physical office or have less ability to modify your space, focus on the small things to make your day more enjoyable: always have a soft sweater or blanket nearby if it gets cold, keep photos you love on your desk, and have a stash of your favorite pens or office supplies ready to go (I swear by my pink Post-Its and Zebra BP pens!). I also recommend that everyone updates their laptop background photo to something seasonal and inspiring (*cough* The Everygirl monthly backgrounds *cough*). It might seem trivial, but the little things can really impact your overall mood each day!

      Be intentional about your breaks
      If taking a work break often looks like scarfing down a granola bar while scrolling TikTok for 10 minutes only to jump immediately back to your computer or hop on the next call, listen up! I was in the same camp—it’s basically the opposite of slow and intentional, and nobody would be calling it romantic. I decided that my breaks needed to change in the name of romanticizing my career, so I started planning out what they would look like at the beginning of the day. I sometimes take a phone-free walk outside, spend some extra time brewing a special coffee and drinking it on my balcony, or using the time to play with my dogs or call my mom. By actually taking a break and giving my brain time to not be online or productive, I noticed that I felt refreshed and ready to pick back up when I sat down at my desk to start working again. That calmness trickled through the rest of my day, giving me perspective and helping me feel less overwhelmed.

      Engage all of your senses
      When I started researching the steps to romanticizing my life (according to the TikTok girlies), I quickly discovered that engaging all of the senses is key. To bring this into my daily 9-5 and my evening freelance work, I decided to have a quick morning checklist I would run through to ensure I was covering all my bases before starting work. For smell, I would turn on my favorite diffuser scents or light a candle. For touch, I’d wear clothing that I loved and was comfortable instead of stuffy corporate wear or yesterday’s sweats. For sound, I’d play some soft folk or instrumental playlists (the Little Women soundtrack is amazing and motivational!), and taste was always fruit-infused water, coffee, or tea. As for sight, I hung new art and made an updated vision board with some aspirational career goals instead of the bland calendar I used to have above my desk. These are small things, but they really made my day feel so much more enjoyable and reminded me that my 9-5 could be a lot more pleasurable if I put a little effort in.

      Set boundaries that work for you
      While it’s not something exclusive to the idea of quiet living or romanticizing your life, setting healthy boundaries is a key part of making your work days more enjoyable and relaxing. If you’re spending all of your time accommodating other people’s needs or doing things you don’t want to do, you’re going to feel resentful and burnt out pretty quickly. When it comes to your career, take some time to really consider if you can take another task with your current workload or if you want to volunteer for that extracurricular before signing up, and chat with coworkers about what your ideal work day looks like so they can be aware. For me, I recently chatted with my manager and was able to delegate some projects that were less interesting to me so I could focus more on the work I really enjoyed. This, in turn, allowed me to finish work by 5pm more often and gave me back my evenings so I could focus on new hobbies, self-care, and socializing, which made me a lot happier and more relaxed overall.

      Take your time
      I knew that slowing down and being intentional was at the heart of the romanticizing movement and something I really wanted to try to pull into my fall work days, especially when receiving constant emails and never-ending Slack messages. When I took a closer look at my habits, I was shocked at how often I was immediately dropping everything to respond to an email or hop on a call without taking a moment to collect myself first, and how that made me feel like I never had enough time in the day (plus my stress levels would jump with each *ping*). When I implemented a rule of waiting a little bit before responding to messages or calls, my anxiety levels went way down. It also reduced the amount of back-and-forth needed when I stopped to really examine the ask or question before responding. That’s not to say you should ignore everything or completely disregard all deadlines (definitely don’t do that), but it’s worth remembering that not everything is an emergency. Adding more calm and pleasure into your day can really be as simple as pausing and taking a moment to yourself before jumping into action—your peace at work is worth slowing down for!

      Eman Al Shorafa

      Eman Al Shorafa, a trailblazer in her own right, embodies the boldness and excellence that both Emirati women and Mercedes-Benz represent. With a background in marketing and business administration, Eman’s journey began from marketing and executive administration, through her tenure as the chief protocol officer at Danat Al Emarat Hospital, and ultimately to her role as the founder of her own investment company, stands as a remarkable testament to her dedication. Much like the Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupé, Eman exudes dynamism, effortlessly maneuvering through life’s challenges while staying true to her passion. Eman reflects, “As I navigate my achievements, Mercedes-Benz emerges as a symbol of innovation, driving me to reach greater heights.”

      Roudhah Al Mazrouei

      Art knows no limits, just like the boundless innovation and commitment to a sustainable future embodied by the EQS from Mercedes-Benz.

      UAE’s first female Emirati Aviation Engineer on carving a niche for the next generation

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      20 mins ago

      Overcoming significant challenges, Dr. Eng. Suaad Al Shamsi accomplished a remarkable feat by becoming the pioneering Emirati woman in the field of Aviation Engineering.
      Following her successful completion of studies at a university in the United Kingdom, Dr. Suaad embarked on her journey in the world of aviation. Her story took a significant turn when she joined the prestigious Emirates airline, assuming the role of the UAE’s inaugural female Emirati aircraft engineer. This pivotal moment marked not only her personal achievement but also a historic milestone for gender equality in the industry.
      Al Shamsi’s unwavering dedication and exceptional aptitude allowed her to thrive in an environment that was predominantly male-dominated. As she continued to make her mark, her trajectory served as a source of inspiration and empowerment for countless other women aspiring to break the glass ceiling. Her trailblazing journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, shattering stereotypes and redefining the possibilities for women in traditionally male-centric fields.Through her remarkable accomplishments, Al Shamsi not only contributed to the advancement of aviation technology but also catalyzed a cultural shift within the UAE and beyond. Her story reverberates as a beacon of hope, inviting women from all walks of life to pursue their passions and carve their own paths, regardless of societal expectations.
      In a detailed chat with Emirates Woman on the occasion of Emirati Women’s Day 2023, she talks about picking an unchartered path, evolutionising the industry and making a difference in society.

      Can you tell us about your journey as an aircraft engineer and aviation advisor and what inspired you to pursue this career?
      I have always loved the aviation industry. When I was a child, I would count how many aircraft flew overhead from my mother’s house, that’s when I knew I wanted to work with aircraft. In 2000, I was awarded a scholarship to study aeronautical engineering at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. After graduating, I returned to the UAE as the first female Emirati to hold an aeronautical engineering degree. I worked in a male-dominated environment, often working 12-hour days in a hangar. I am now an advisor for one of the biggest projects in the UAE and I also teach aerodynamics as a part-time researcher and lecturer. It took me over a year to be accepted into the program I dreamed of studying because others believed I was just a dreamer who couldn’t work in such a field. The words of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktou, “In the UAE, anything is possible” really inspired and cancelled out the negative comments others had about my dream.This belief motivated me to pursue my dream and succeed, leading me to encourage and help others achieve their dreams.
      In addition to my work in the aviation industry I have also been judge for the James Dyson Awards for the last six years since its inception in the UAE. Through this I have had the opportunity to see some great engineering projects from students across the country. I have been inspired by their creativity, their passion, and their commitment to making a difference in the world. I am passionate about the aviation industry, and I am proud to have made a difference in this field. I hope that my story will inspire other young women to pursue their dreams in STEM fields.
      You’ve had the opportunity to work with many prominent companies. How have these experiences contributed to your expertise in the aviation and engineering sectors?
      During my time at various aviation and engineering companies, I have worked on a number of notable projects and achievements. One of the special program I was part of was “Woman Empowerment in Aviation”. The aim of this program was to educate young girls on aviation industry encouraging them to pursue careers in it. This program has graduated over 13,000 students and received the Najm Award from HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum. Having been founder for ten years with Women in Aviation organization in the Middle East, which focuses on promoting women in all areas of the aviation industry. I am also currently working on a new program called “Top Takeoff,” which focuses on aviation sustainability. In addition to my work with these organizations, I have also been a judge for the James Dyson Award for the past 6 years. This award recognizes the best student engineering innovations from around the world. I am passionate about supporting young innovators, and I am honored to be a part of this award.

       Given your experience, what advice would you offer to aspiring female aircraft engineers and those looking to make a mark in the aviation sector?
      As Vice President of Women in Aviation, I am committed to inspiring and empowering women in the aviation industry. We are a fun, passionate, and supportive organization that believes in the power of women to achieve great things. Passion, patience, focus, and a love of learning are essential skills for success in the aviation industry. The field is constantly evolving, so it is important to be able to learn and adapt quickly. Aspiring female aircraft engineers and those looking to make a mark in the aviation sector should believe in themselves and their abilities. They should not listen to the naysayers or let gender stereotypes hold them back, rather follow their heart and do what they are passionate about. Getting involved in extracurricular activities, attending conferences and workshops, and volunteering time to aviation-related organizations can help aspiring female aircraft engineers to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers.
      Technology and innovation play a crucial role in aviation. How do you see the industry evolving in terms of engineering advancements and technological innovation?
      The aviation industry has always been at the forefront of technological advancement, and new technologies continue to shape its future. Innovation in aviation helps to enhance safety, security, and efficiency, and to modernize aviation infrastructure. It also broadens the benefits of aviation to civil society and business. Technology and innovation are set to play an increasingly important role in the future of the aviation industry, with the potential to improve safety, efficiency, aircraft design, aircraft maintenance, passenger experience, and reduce environmental impact. However, as with any new technology, there are also challenges and risks that need to be carefully managed. The James Dyson Award is a great example of how innovation can be used to improve the aviation industry. The award recognizes and celebrates engineering students who have developed innovative solutions to real-world problems. In the past, James Dyson Award winners have developed technologies that have improved aircraft efficiency, reduced noise pollution, and made flying more comfortable for passengers.
      “We Collaborate for Tomorrow” is the theme for this year’s Emirati Women’s Day. What does this mean to you?
      The theme “We Collaborate for Tomorrow” is a powerful reminder that women can achieve more when we work together. By sharing our ideas, resources, and support, we can create a better future for ourselves, our families, and our communities.Together, we can make a difference in the world.
      What are the opportunities for youth in the UAE to make a difference?
      The UAE is a land of opportunity for youth, with many programs and initiatives designed to help them succeed. One such opportunity is the James Dyson Award, an international award that recognizes and celebrates engineering students who have developed innovative solutions to real-world problems. The UAE is one of the participating countries in this award, and it is a great opportunity for youth to showcase their skills and ideas. By taking advantage of opportunities like the James Dyson Award, youth in the UAE can make a real difference in the world.

      You recently were on the Judging Panel for the James Dyson Award could you please tell us about your experience?
      I was recently honored to be a judge for the James Dyson Award, an international design award that celebrates, encourages, and inspires engineers and designers to find solutions to real-world problems. The experience was truly amazing. I had the opportunity to see some remarkable work from the brightest young minds in the world, and to see firsthand the incredible innovations that they are developing. I am proud to be a part of this award, and I look forward to seeing what the next generation of engineers and designers will accomplish. The future of youth in the UAE is bright, with many exciting trends on the horizon. Technology, diversity, entrepreneurship, and sustainability are all important trends that will shape the future of youth in the UAE. By investing in youth and creating the right conditions to help them realize their full potential, the UAE can ensure that its youth are prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
