About Me View My Posts
Often people set goals for the new year without stopping to reflect on the past year. The problem with that approach is that lessons learned are often not carried forward, so you wind up repeating the past year's mistakes. This exercise helps you access lessons learned so that you achieve emotional completion for the past year. Carve out some time (an hour or two) and set the stage: put on your favorite... 1/2/2008 7:48:18 PM

Can your stress wait for you to jog, meditate or talk with a friend? Over 60 percent of visits to doctors in this country are stress-related. It attacks not only our health, but our happiness, as well. Stress is the body's preparation to fight or flee danger. It was important for prehistoric survival, but today we have few physical fights and almost nowhere to flee. Instead we clamp a lid on the stress... 1/1/2008 12:48:35 PM

Who isn't "short on time" this time of year? Often when time is limited the first thing to drop off the list is exercise and other wellness activities. In fact, "I just don't have time" continues to be the #1 reason year round for not exercising daily, not eating nutritious food or not intentionally relaxing. Prioritizing anything ahead of wellness activities in your daily schedule is a classic example... 12/27/2007 8:22:14 AM

They found that over half of the videos published childhood, flu and HPV vaccines in a negative or ambiguous light.

The impact of menopause on your career
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Until you experience ovarian failure you really can't understand the impact menopause will have on your career. We've been told for so long that menopause is normal and even the National Institute of Health does not consider it a disorder. We tell ourselves that menopause should not have a negative influence on our career. The fact is menopause can easily derail a career. It can even destroy it. It's... 12/13/2007 10:08:47 PM

My goal as a "teacher" has always been to explain things in the same way I wish MY teachers would have taught me, back in the day... Do you remember what it was/is like when someone asks or tells you to do something such as a teacher, parent, coach, trainer, etc? I remember as a kid, the first word out of my mouth was "Why?" (sound familiar?) And nothing frustrated/irritated me more than receiving... 12/12/2007 12:40:58 PM
