- Overweight But Under Nourished - Are We Eating Too Little?
[Health-and-Fitness:Obesity] Are we overweight because we eat too much or because we are eating too little? News commentators, magazines, and tons of newspaper articles all focus on how much we eat. Nutrition scientists are beginning to propose the controversial new concept that we, especially Americans, are overweight, not because we are eating too much, but rather because we are eating too little.
- Pain is Inevitable, Suffering is Optional
[Health-and-Fitness:Mind-Body-Spirit] Pain, suffering, and happiness are three rather different words to be linked together. Everyone desires happiness, but this has different meanings for each of us. Furthermore, stress and pain are two major barriers between us and our goal of happiness.
- Do Your Expectations Affect Your Health?
[Health-and-Fitness:Mental-Health] Would you read better if the big E was at the bottom of the eye test chart? This question was asked in a recent Newsweek article by Wray Herbert titled ' Just Say No To Aging'. Herbert was commenting on a thought-provoking study done by Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer and presented in her new book "Counterclockwise".
- A Little Story With a Powerful Message - Go-Getter to Go-Giver
[Book-Reviews:Health-Mind-Body] The Go-Giver is a powerful parable in just over 100 pages. This beautiful little book is not only a business parable told with wit and grace but a life lesson that carries an important message for all of us to learn and to put into practice.
- Network Marketing - Too Much Info - Too Many Choices
[Home-Based-Business:Network-Marketing] Everyone in network marketing experiences information overload. Every time we turn on our computers we are assaulted by too much information and too many choices. As soon as we begin to have a presence online we are daily receiving phone calls and emails offering better products, better companies, more knowledgeable mentors, or the best success tips - all at an ever increasing price. Soon we may find ourselves confronted with a major case of information overload which could bring on a severe case of decision paralysis.
- Retirement - What is Your Plan? - Part 4
[Home-and-Family:Retirement] Retirement is so very much more than just not going to work any longer. Statistics tell us that not only are we all living longer, but the new generation of retirees is generally healthier and more financially stable than was the case only a few short years ago. This means that we need to plan our own retirement the way we want it to be and not wait for someone else to have to do it for us.
- Retirement - What is Your Plan? - Part 1
[Home-and-Family:Retirement] While living in Florida I worked for several years at the local Council on Aging. I was often the person answering the phone on the Information and Referral desk. Frequently I received calls from folks getting ready to retire and seeking information about retiring to Florida. These calls would generate my series of retirement questions. In this series I would like to share a composite of those conversations.
- Retirement - What is Your Plan? - Part 2
[Home-and-Family:Retirement] If I have build a comfort level in our conversation I might remind them of the old cliche which goes something like this: 'When I am retired I will sit on the porch in the sunshine and after a few months I'll begin to rock." It is important to impress upon everyone that retirement is more than sitting, and rocking every once in a while. Retirement is much more like the saying 'wherever I go, there I am.' Sitting and rocking gets old and boring very quickly. Perhaps they will tell me that they wish to swim, golf, or fish. That's a place to begin discussing the 'doing' part of retirement.
- Retirement - What is Your Plan? - Part 3
[Home-and-Family:Retirement] Retirement is so very much more than just not going to work any longer. Statistics tell us that not only are we all living longer, but the new generation of retirees is generally healthier and more financially stable than was the case only a few short years ago. This means that we need to plan our own retirement the way we want it to be and not wait for someone else to have to do it for us.
- The Challenge of Caring For Aging Loved Ones
[Home-and-Family:Elder-Care] Aging of loved ones affects all families, but most especially it affects the women of these families. This can put a huge amount of stress on all members of the family. As families we must not live in denial of the challenges to be met as our loved ones age. Rather, we must do our homework, become knowledgeable, make plans together, and build for those years that are a part of every family's challenge, so that all aging family members may "age well" with dignity and hope.
- Over-Medication - An Important Discussion For All of Us
[Health-and-Fitness:Medicine] In today's world it is extremely important for everyone to become knowledgeable, and to become their own advocate, in all medical treatments and decisions, including carefully monitoring of all medications being used. The risk of over-medication is particularly critical among our older population. Family and care providers must become their advocates, always monitoring all medications in use, and being alert for any signs of drug related problems.
- How Are You Influencing The People You Meet?
[Home-Based-Business:Network-Marketing] Have you ever thought about how many different people you have influenced in your life? How many people will you influence today, tomorrow, next week, or even next year? Today I was asked that question. I had to stop and think about what my answer would be. But, even more important - how did I influence those people? Was my influence positive or negative? Was I able to help them in some way to solve a problem, to understand a situation, or even to take a step forward in becoming a more positive or successful person?
- Focus - A Key Word For Network Marketers
[Home-Based-Business:Network-Marketing] FOCUS -- This is a key word for network marketers seeking success. These simple tips can help you stop struggling and reach your dreams.
- What CBS Did and Didn't Say About Nutrition Supplements
[Health-and-Fitness:Nutrition] Nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, and numerous similar products are big business in today's world. CBS has brought the subject to the forefront in their news story about these products. I believe that the CBS story is a great conversation starter, but does not present all aspects of this discussion. However, CBS has opened the discussion and it is now our responsibility to pursue the topic and seek all the answers that this important subject deserves.
- What Network Marketing Stories Are You Sharing?
[Home-Based-Business:Network-Marketing] Even if your products are the most unique, most original, least expensive, best available products, no-one can become successful building a network marketing business unless, and until, you are building with a Company that has integrity, puts their distributors first, and has a compensation plan that works for your specific situation.
