      Sheikh Mohammed-approved bakery can also be found in Alserkal Avenue
      Recently, the newly opened bkry in Alserkal Avenue welcomed His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai yesterday, June 12, 2024.

      The must-visit hotspot, bkry even shared a photo on Instagram with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, with the caption, “ We were honored yesterday by the visit of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum @alserkalavenue .We are beyond thankful for your continued support.”

      Ahead of the long weekend, learn how to completely detach from work

      by

      Life

      by Team Emirates Woman
      3 hours ago

      Words by Dr Gurveen Ranger, Clinical Psychologist, Adult Specialist at Sage Clinics
      We are currently living in an era where constant connectivity is the norm.
      In a lifestyle dominated by smartphones, smart watches, tablets, and coupled with the increase in remote working since the pandemic, many of us will find ourselves blurring the boundaries between work and home life.
      Lack of work/life balance can also lead to disturbed sleep, especially if you are checking emails just before bed, and lower our mood. If we are find ourselves unable to ‘switch off’ after work, we are less present in our personal lives, and therefore may not experience as much enjoyment from activities as we once did and our relationships are likely to also suffer.

      Not only does this impact our quality of life, but also has the opposite impact to what we may expect when it comes to how productive and efficient we are. In this article, we will look at why we struggle to disconnect, the consequences of this and most importantly – how do we do a desk detox?
      Here are a few tips to ease the process:
      Set clear goals
      Ask yourself, do I need a desk detox? How much work am I doing outside of hours? Why? Is doing this extra work making me feel any more on top of things? Based on your answer to these questions, set clear goals to work on – e.g., is it reducing screen time? Is it protected work times? Is a conversation with employers needed?
      Be realistic
      I appreciate that for many, it may be unrealistic to expect no work outside of work hours. If this is the case for you (i.e., there are likely serious consequences of not keeping an eye on things) then setting boundaries for how much time you spend working outside of hours can be helpful. E.g., protecting time every couple of hours or so to look at emails, and engaging in other things outside of these times. This can help reduce the constant triggering of ‘threat state’ every few minutes.
      Let people know
      Letting people know when you are contactable vs when you are not can help manage feelings of guilt that may arise when disconnecting. Block out time in your diaries, set “do not disturb’ notifications on when appropriate, and let colleagues know the boundaries about what constitutes emergency contact. This can also be healthy modelling for colleagues and juniors.
      Allocate tech-free zones
      Protect time in your after-work schedule which doesn’t involve technology. If you work from home, is there a space where you work which doesn’t interfere with your daily home space? If not, can you hide away your work equipment when you log off? Out of sight, out of mind!
      Increase offline activities
      See if you can come up with some after work activities that don’t involve technology, thus reducing the pull into constant checking of work-related material. Walks, reading, socializing can all be great ways to enhance quality of life and connect with your value systems outside of the professional sphere.
      Use digital wellbeing tools
      Did you know most smartphones allow you to set limits on how much you use certain apps? You could also put ‘do not disturb’ mode on or turn off notifications when you are doing other things. Another tool many I have worked with find helpful is to remove things like email apps from easy access – they can be hidden in a digital folder on your home screen which means you have more of a chance to break the habitual cycle of opening the app every time you are on your phone – again out of sight out of mind.
      Reminder – this isn’t about being completely tech free or never doing anything for work outside of work time, as let’s be honest that isn’t realistic in today’s world or desirable some industries and roles. Instead, aim for balance – take a step back, protect downtime, use smartphones in psychologically smarter ways to enhance your wellbeing and social relationships. Not only will this likely improve your quality of life, but your productivity and job satisfaction levels too. You could start today, even with something small and see how these transforms over time!

      2 hours ago

      Eid al-Adha 2024 is just around the corner – if you were looking for an occasion to pamper your loved ones, this is it.
      Eid as a festival brings families, friends and communities together. It is that period during the year where you don’t worry about deadlines, daily chores or even mull in the existential crisis that engulfs every adult.
      As a kid, I always looked forward to Eid al-Adha, because it the time when my entire extended family came together for lunches, dinners, barbecues and (my favourtie) gifts exchanging ceremonies. Everyone excitedly waited for their envelope of cash ‘eidi’ from the elders and a gift that was specifically picked according to their taste.
      As a grown up, this memory and tradition has remained in my home and we continue to spoil our loved ones with something that has either been on their wishlist or with an item we think they would love.
      Whether it’s a new bag for your mom, perfume for your dad, vintage tea set for your grandma, candle for your aunt or the latest espresso maker for your coffee aficionado cousin – the possibilities are endless.
      But if you’re like me and you happen to procrastinate until the very end when it comes to buying gifts, let this Emirates Woman guide be your ultimate saviour.
      Under this EW Eid Al-Adha 2024 guide, we’ve listed luxury items under the categories of fashion, beauty and lifestyle for you to pick from.
      To make the process even simpler (thank us later), you click on the picture of the product you like, and it will redirect you to the website where you can shop it from.

      Public Holidays in the UAE
      In alignment with these religious observances, the UAE government has announced public holidays for its residents. Citizens and residents will observe a day off for Arafah Day on June 15, followed by a three-day break for Eid Al Adha from June 16 to June 18. This extended holiday offers an opportunity for families to come together, perform religious rituals, and engage in communal celebrations.
      Commencement of Dhul Hijjah
      The sighting of the crescent Moon on Thursday, June 6, signified the end of Dhul Qa’adah and the beginning of Dhul Hijjah on Friday, June 7. Dhul Hijjah holds immense importance for Muslims, being the month of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, and the celebration of Eid Al Adha.
      Significance of Arafah Day and Eid Al Adha
      Arafah Day, which is the pinnacle of the Hajj pilgrimage, will be observed on Saturday, June 15. This day is revered as the holiest in Islam, where pilgrims gather on the plains of Arafat to perform prayers and seek forgiveness. For Muslims not on pilgrimage, it is a day of fasting and reflection.
      Following Arafah Day, Eid Al Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” will be celebrated on Sunday, June 16. This festival commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The act of Qurbani (sacrifice) is performed, where livestock is slaughtered, and the meat is distributed among family, friends, and the needy.
