Public Health Eating Disaster
Are You A Public Health Eating Disaster Just how far have our appetites taken us, and what happens in the event of an unforeseen major disaster? Is sugar in the details? Are “we” the disaster? Are we caught up in a Public Health Eating Disaster? How do we incorporate eating sugar in moderation? Sugar, we are told it can be “good for the soul” by all the ads and marketing jiggles being filtered into our daily lives. Moderation is the key, but what if you are an eating disaster? Some days I’m an eating disaster! I have really good days; heck, I even have really good weeks. But then there…
What battles should we fight
What battles should we fight, and can we bring duct tape? Dedicated to my class, who asked the question “What battles should we fight, and can we bring duct tape?” We have all been there. That place and time when the information we are hearing is just too good. Emphasis on “too good”. Red hot sizzling information that can make or break a situation, a person’s reputation, or put honesty – damage our own social integrity. By your own social integrity, that refers to you or someone in your circle who has no filter on what they think, and tends to blurt out every little tiny detail that they know…
Interview – Looks nice, has an “X” account
The Interview – Looks nice, has an “X” account. For many who have been working professionals for most of their lives, it is often anticipated with some anxiety that those interviewing them may not know how to interview them. When you go into an interview, and in two quick responses, you have pretty much summed up the entire list of questions the interviewer had prepared, you quickly are able to gauge the aptitude of that business or organization. While those giving the interview have thought well and hard on their lists, you still manage to blow that list out of the water. What’s left for the interviewer? They can continue…
Put Your Busy Bully On Notice
Put Your Busy Bully On Notice Nearly every office has one, that person who, for some reason, keeps things stirred up. Whether it is a need for power or control, who knows? What they manage to do is have others begin to doubt their own skills and abilities. I like to think of these individuals as passive-aggressive bullies, or my own naming convention of “The Busy Bully”. They don’t come right out and say something to another person in the office; rather, they are busy gossiping or hinting around to others that “they know a secret”. They are also constantly second-guessing other co-workers’ true intentions and often believe others are…
When Happiness Catches Your Eye
Taking life one beautiful step at a time, and allowing happiness to catch your eye – what a great way to live. We have to pull away from those moments of doubt and confusion and focus our thoughts on our true purpose. We have to allow ourselves to be generous, kind, and forgiving. When we really search out those things that give us joy we find a new meaning, a new purpose – a reason to go on. When happiness catches your eye, linger on the moment without jumping to the next moment. Spend time relaxing and drinking in the calm. Live in the moment. Live in the moment We…
