Winds of Change
Winds of Change Time changes everything, and we need to be able to re-evaluate our own lives and the direction we are headed in. It doesn’t matter if the direction is one we have selected for ourselves, or one where life itself has lead us there unaware. Sometimes those things that we thought mattered most, are not important any longer. Rather, things that we overlooked or have forgotten from the past come closer to our new reality. Change is an emotional experience that reminds us that nothing is permanent. It teaches us to prioritize those things that are really important. Change can mean loss, but it can also mean gaining…
Bilateral Music Stimulation – A Thousand Years
How do you deal with stress? What stresses you out? Do cognitive memories get in the way of you finding that calm place in life? Ever heard of Bilateral music stimulation? I have been wanting to do a little experimental discovery with Bilateral Music Stimulation. Since I have a number of friends & associations who currently suffer from a form of either ADHD, PTSD, depression, vertigo, and/or similar cognitive traits – it was time. Most have often noted that certain types of music or instrumental sounds helped them to relax. I’m no therapist, but I have an equal stake in learning what they were using as a calming method. My…
Out-of-Office
Out-of-Office I was trying to write an out-of-office (OOO) message the other day, and I wasn’t feeling any love flowing from the process. Rummaging through a number of my co-worker’s past OOO messages, it was apparent none of them were feeling the love when they wrote theirs either. I decided to search out some smarty pants OOOs on the net. But… most of the ones I found of value, would probably have gotten me into serious trouble if I used them. Dang it! I didn’t want to leave the standard “‘ ….. — ……” I also knew I couldn’t post any pictures of my fluffy little pink body lying on…
Business walk on the Rocks
I watched a video the other day about chat walks. Taking your business meetings and making them outside meetings. Inspired by this talk, one has only to think about some of the following items: Decide on the location of the walk The length of time available to walk Who will you meet with What you will discuss And the weather, of course The amount of stress alone saved in taking a chat walk is worth its weight in gold. It also helps to cut your blood pressure down, beef up your cardio, raise those happy endorphins, and bring a level of wellness to your entire body. Steve Jobs once quoted…
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…
