<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">To eat meat or not to eat meat is such an ethical topic. If in fact humans are becoming more compassionate, less exploitive of the horror of enslavement, slaughter, and ingestion of another being than yes the growing of a fungus based product is right. Sure there are hurdles to overcome, but saving lives and the environment is not something we can turn our backs on any more. Violence is wrong no matter what, animals are not ours to own and do as we please with. It is inherently wrong to do violence on the innocent and vulnerable. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">The awaking to a new way of thinking, and then eating the new way is the first step to changing lives for all sentient beings. Let the large corporations make money on creating products that mimic meat if it keeps people from eating animal flesh. Cultured meat is one way to curb the tide, or sooth the carnivore into plant based, and eventually veganism. It is one stepping stone in the direction of freedom for animals and abolishment of exploitation. </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">Whether manufactured meat is more “well” than regular meat depends on perspective, ask the chicken or the cow. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The fabric of group behavior is woven of individual threads. Group dynamics can take various forms but the essence of the group is the individual. Given that group vitality is a co-mingling of participant energy, potentially creating a greater unitary integrity, then each source of energy impacts the whole. Personal disharmony can lead to unhealthy group interactions. In a group setting individual response may be based on recall of learned behavior, or situationally determined. Long-term memory serves as a means to rapidly access and perform on perception, motor skills, or facts and events. This long-term storing mechanism can be unconscious, as in implicit memory, or of a conscious or explicit nature. Environmental and emotional cues can trigger these learned reactions. When the responses are congruent with the environment, and the individual’s present emotional state, then peace is achieved and integrity is maintained. When the pre-wired long-term memory responses are no longer valid, either because the environment has changed or the player has changed, then <i>intentionality </i>and <i>attentiveness </i>can stimulate and grow a new way of being. Self-awareness is essential to self-growth and high group effectiveness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Having a model to evaluate group systems and processes can be the compass to weathering the seas of change within companies, couples, or self. <i>The Skilled Facilitator Fieldbook </i>(Schwartz et al., 2005) provides a valuable point of reference for analyzing group dynamics. The writers posit that effective groups have ingrained mutual core values, seek synergy, and honor mutual learning. In practicing these foundational principles the stage is set for powerful resolution. Productivity happens when all players have clarity of purpose, transparency of thought, seek mutual gain, and value diversity (Schwartz et al., 2005). This structured approach to group potency has many of the characteristics of Steven Covey’s <i>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</i>. Harmony starts, as suggested by Covey (1989), and noted by Schwartz et al., (2005) from the inside-out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> An understanding of neural circuitry and keys to group success does not make things happen. In social cognitive theory, the self is a reflection of one’s environment, one’s behaviors, and one’s capabilities, inseparable components of the whole. Individual identity, and sense of self, is preserved in long-term memories, therefore, individual psychodynamics are also embedded in organizational conflict, and individual paradigms live out in intrapersonal relations (Bandura, 2008). What neuroscientists confirmed through magnetic imaging was already known from the observational studies in psychology and the social sciences. “We are nothing without our memories but sometimes they also make us less than we could be” (LeDoux, 2009). Ingrained restraining forces can work against the driving forces of new desires. To overcome these forces one perseveres, repeats, and is motivated intrinsically (Wheelis, 1973). Self-actualization, ascending to an evolved self, is of conscious and deliberate design and rarely spontaneous, but rather intentional and mindful (Wheelis, 1973). Attentiveness, a necessary component for change, is a purposeful introspection, whether, personal or in a group setting. The tipping point for learning and potential growth is this <i>looking glass self</i>. In acknowledging, creating the space for change, and releasing past imprinted conditions, one breaks away from limiting beliefs. In this gained freedom is the potential to shape destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: 32px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> “If every person is in certain aspects like all other people, like some other people, like no other person” (Kluckmann & Murray, as cited in Bandura, 2008), and the group fabric is made up of individual threads, then, the individual’s perception of self, stored in long term memory, needs to follow a group identity, or be open to change in the way of the group. Group development lies in each individual’s ability to give up a part of his or her own self-identity (Doherty, 2005). <span style="color: #353535;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the last decade there has been a tremendous increase in people eating a more plant based diet. While studies show that plant-based diets are healthiest in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers, not all vegans or vegetarians are healthy eaters or movers. A personal trainer or health coach supporting the needs of this largely millennial vegan population may find rewarding work both financially and emotionally.<br /><o:p> </o:p>What do we need to understand to support our vegan client?<br /><o:p> </o:p>First, we want to understand that vegans are typically vegans because they abhor the enslavement and killing of any sentient being. You do not need to be a vegan to work with a vegan, but you want to respect their intense sensitivity to the injustices forced on animals by humans.<br /><o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Second, we want to understand that vegans do not eat flesh, or buy any animal products or by products. <o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I am aware that people have different capacity levels for empathy. Some feel deeply about their own family, but struggle with feeling anything for others. Some feel deeply for animals and children, but not so much for adult humans. Some of us shelve things happening in the world just to get by in our own struggling world. I understand that people process information differently, with some needing a barrage of details and facts and others being more intuitive thinkers. Yet, with all of this observation I am still confounded by the blindness and self- centeredness of the human race. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
How does the human race not see its self-induced injustices? I am human, I see. As a so called “most evolved” species, how do we not see the injustice of creating enemies with our “us versus them” labeling, of enslaving and killing over 56 million land animals a day, and of thinking that we have a right to dominate? This unconscionable naiveté is beyond my comprehension, and so I too compartmentalize it away to function without being overwhelmed by the farce of my existence. Beyond being vegan, beyond non- violent communication, beyond self-exploration, “how can I use my energy to create a world of peace for all beings?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We think we have a lot of choices, but in fact our enculturation limits us. We have the illusion of being free, but we are all caught in a smoke screen. A screen or filter that is imposed as babes and perpetuated in the country we live in, and the people with whom we align. This is not freedom this is an enslaved way of thinking which preserves the status quo. When we break away from this entrenched thinking we are met with enormous resistance politically, economically, and emotionally. Is it enough that I question social beliefs, practice veganism and non violent communication, and am open to other ways of being? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Finding our own truth is not easy. Martin Luther King Jr., once said:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
“And there comes a time one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular—but one must take it simply because it is right.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Veganism is my truth because it is about creating a Utopia where all peoples, and all animals, can live in peace on a well planet. Consequently, if I want to have an impact on the way others see peace I must be the change I want to see. To optimize my performance in this quest I want to be my best physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
To keep alive the peace within I use this guide as a foundation to optimizing my well-being.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In My Body,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will treat my body to nutritious foods. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will avoid highly processed vegan foods loaded with sugar, salt, and fat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will learn from vegan nutrition experts (PurePlant Nation, the Buddhist Chef) what fuels my body best.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will stock my home with essential vegan stables like plant milk, spices, cooked beans, frozen vegetables, sauces, seeds, nuts, grains, a blender, and a steamer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will get at least six hours of sleep each evening.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will exercise regularly to build strength, stamina and flexibility.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In My Thinking,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will focus on the task at hand, and shut out distractions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will sharpen the saw thru continual learning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will practice win win in all my communications.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will respect the choices of others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will challenge my own assumptions, triggers, and behaviors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will practice patience daily by being present and observing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will learn to communicate in a non violent manner (Marshall Rosenberg). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will practice open minded thinking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will be a good listener.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will be a collaborator.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In My Spirit Self,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will honor myself by staying focused on optimizing my energy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will spend time in nature, or visualize a natural setting that infuses me with oneness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will be persistent in valuing peace by optimizing my energy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I will be courageous by listening to my heart, hearing the cries of those without a voice, and by surrounding myself with people and places of positive energy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The tipping point that changes these basic inequities I may never see. I do find solace in spiritual leaders like the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, and many others. I am not alone and either are you. We can help shape the world by being our best and by enlarging our community. This is my quest and this is my bliss.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Suffering forges in
opportunity to embrace our shadow self, or, circumstances that cause us
unhappiness. In embracing emotional pain we become more curious, compassionate,
and engaged in life. In denying the existence of our suffering, pain lingers
and dwells below the surface ever tainting our lives in unconscious ways. Bring
suffering to the surface, inspect it, ponder it with curiosity and be free from
the constant battle to repress it. This battlefield of force and counter force
is suffering. The more we resist the painful thoughts the more the suffering
persists. We want to relax our grip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Suffering connects us to
everything in life that is not suffering. We hear the birds sing, feel the
sun’s rays, and smell the orange blossoms, all as distinct from our suffering.
This differentiation beckons us to lean into the suffering as a means to channel
appreciation of the wholeness within us and around us. We cannot deny the
beauty of the mountains, a puppy, or the love we hold in our hearts, all this magnificence
juxtaposed to our suffering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

suffering, like rain, germinates new potentiality we lean into it. It transforms
us, revitalizes us, and invigorates our connection to the source of our existence.
When we let go of resistance we can tap into our inner knowing and in so doing create
new opportunities. We flourish, unstuck from the past, and able to move towards
a new beginning. A beginning with a fresh respect for all the life within us,
and the life sources external to us. We learn that life is an instrument and we

<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Have you struggled with your ability to cope with
life challenges and your sense of competency to do
so? </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Do you lack confidence in your worthiness for love, success, respect, or happiness?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I have found Nathaniel Branden’s book “The Six
Pillars of Self-Esteem” clear, direct and insightful.
Here is my brief take on it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">If you are following a life that is out of alignment
with what you believe in and value, then it is
difficult to live in integrity and feel good about
yourself.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Self-esteem is a consequence of your
behaviors. To have greater self-esteem we want to p</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">ractice the following:</span><br />
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">1. Live life consciously-live mindfully.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">2. Accept ourselves - be kind to yourself about
your mistakes, listen to what they tell you.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">3. Take responsibility for everything in life:
actions and inactions. You owe it to yourself;
the world does not owe you.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">4. Live on purpose- have a vision, not only at
work, but also in your personal life, and work
it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">5. Live in integrity- behave according to deep felt values and beliefs.</span><br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">6. Be assertive - have courage to confront, say no and set boundaries. </span><br />

There is an association between health problems and high fat cell secretion. When we are overweight we have more fat cells, and / or larger ones, which produce higher levels of substances than our bodies are meant to manage. Over time excessive amounts of these substances begin to damage blood vessels, tissues, impair blood flow, and result in diabetes, liver disease, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.</span><br />

How is it that yesterday I was on top of the world, and today I am dull, and uninterested. I'd like to blame it on hormones, the foggy weather, or allergies, but that would be too easy.<br />
If motivation comes from living a life immersed in my personal values, as I am told by reading Abraham Maslow, or Nathaniel Branden, then I know that when I tap into my natural energy, my values, (Inspiring, Discovering, Fun, and Adventure, - my top four values), life is simply more rewarding. Then what is limiting my access to this nature me?<br />
Perhaps one of my needs is going unfulfilled and it is overshadowing my values, and thus limiting access to my vitality. When I have a need that is not completely met or handled, and I have no "needs satisfaction system" in place, to keep that need in check, I drift along in a leaky emotional boat. My sail may be strong, (my guiding beacon of values), but the cracks in my hull prevent me from having a smooth journey.<br />
Is it possibly to patch this waning spirit? Absolutely! Needs can be identified, and with conscious effort, satisfied permanently. I can plug up those leaky holes in my hull, put on a protective layer of good quality smooth paint, and zoom off, once again following my unique endeavors.<br />
One of the first steps to renewed smooth sailing is accepting that we have an unfulfilled need. Here you might be asking yourself "How can I accept an unmet need when I do not even have clarity on what needs I do have?" While we all have basic human needs, we all have unique individual personal needs that help us to be our best.<br />
Genetically we are not created perfectly in sync with our environment because our environment keeps changing. We are, however, endowed with a brain, which allows us the freedom of choice, as an adaptive mechanism. Having needs is normal and natural. Needs let us know where we are off balance with the world. Your unique personal needs can be discovered through your own personal exploration, or through using an assessment tool such as Thomas Leonard's Needless Program*. Once we know what we need, we can "cowgirl up" to meeting it.<br />
The influential need, the one that is holding us back, tends to be one of our top four or five dominant needs. These are the ones that have the most strength in our present life, or the one that pushes the hardest to be seen. Careful examination can cue us in on where to focus. If a need is handled, it will not cause us any angst. If one of the newly identified needs is causing an unpleasant feeling then perhaps this is our limiting need.<br />
Next step is to understand that this need exists for a good reason, however, today, it no longer serves you well. Janette who was under constant stress, and managed to maintain her social and emotional status quo as a sweet successful person by hiding, masking, and comforting herself with food, can illustrate this point. Janette needs to feel importance, or noticed. The busier she was the more worthy she felt. The food, which momentarily sedated her stress level, as the carbohydrates had their relaxing effect on her nervous system, did nothing for her lack of importance to life.<br />
In order to satisfy her need to be important, or valued, Janette did some work on her self-esteem. Accepting her own behavior as self-serving, allowed her to open up to new and healthier possible actions to fill her need. Soul searching led her to conclude that she had been created with certain unique specific gifts, and that those gifts were what made her valuable. She stopped the task cramming behavior, and comparing herself to other people, and started using her values as her compass.<br />
When I moved from the corporate world, to being a solo-preneur, my environment became less restrictive and confining and I began satisfying my need for freedom. By choosing to live with a large window overlooking the ocean, by running along the beach, riding horses in the hills, and being free to do as I please, when I please, I further fulfill my need for freedom. This does not mean I am irresponsible, because irresponsibly is not freeing. It does mean that I make my own choices, and that my choices reflect what I need to be my best.<br />
Needs are normal, unique, and a part of us. A need does not have to be a secret hidden deep within us. It is our responsibility, as mature adults, to satisfy our own hunger, but we can also ask for help. Partnerships are invaluable tools.<br />

A life in balance encompasses all dimensions of wellness. When one area
is out of balance it effects overall well- being, just like a flat tire makes
steering straight and towards a destination difficult and hazardous. While
physical health, exercise, and nutrition are the foundations of our energy we
are a multi-dimension integration of our physical, emotional, spiritual,
intellectual, occupational, social, and environmental states of being.
Consequently, when we are out of alignment in one area of our lives we are not
in systemic homeostasis, or not running at full optimal capacity. </span></div>

<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11pt;"> Interesting to note that a good
education does little to raise your sense of satisfaction in life. I
suppose ignorance IS bliss. Happiness researcher Dr. Ed Diener
suggests that once your basic needs are met, additional income
does little for fulfillment. However, in a Times poll those individuals
making $35,000 a year or less were significantly less happy.
Both happiness researchers Deiner and Seligman conclude that the highest level of
happiness comes from strong ties with family and friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Here are some practical suggestions </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px;">by UCLA researcher Dr. Lynbomirsky </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11pt;">to revitalize your level of happiness:</span><br />
<ol>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Count your blessings – make a gratitude journal where
every week you enter the things you are currently grateful
for, from little to bigger.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Practice acts of random kindness- remember how good it
felt to let that harried driver into your lane, or let someone
go ahead of you in the grocery line. Be generous. Get
connected to others.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Savor joyful moments daily – the sunset, the rolling hills,
the puppy, or any number of daily things we appreciate.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thank a mentor – do this in person.
</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Learn forgiveness – this is the most generous gesture. Let go of the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">anger; move on to a life not bogged down by the past.</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Invest time and energy in friends and family.</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Take care of your body – get sleep, exercise, and eat healthy foods to</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> stimulate positive hormones that enhance your moods. </span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Develop strategies for coping with stress, hardship, and
things not going as planned. At
some point you have to deal with the issues. Better to
establish new pathways than continue to suffer.
</span><br />
</li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Dr. Seligman believes lasting happiness comes from figuring out
your strengths and deploying them. Deploy away. Start today. </span><br />

<div data-canvas-width="314.3" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16.6667px; left: 300px; top: 336.481px; transform: scaleX(0.907507);">
Recently I was observing an old man I had not seen in some time. I had never before thought of him as old. What was it about him now that made him look all of his 80 years? It was not the white hair, or the loss of his figure, or the bigger nose and longer ears; it was the lack of vitality, energy, and lack of passion for the life around him. His essence had left his heart, and his being. All that he was, was dormant. As I contemplated this I wondered how I would make the distinction between youthfulness and oldness.</div>
<div data-canvas-width="279.5666666666667" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16.6667px; left: 300px; top: 355.481px; transform: scaleX(0.895712);">
Youthfulness is about being vigorous, flexible, fresh, simplistic, playful, natural, passionate, engaged, juiced up, enthusiastic, spirited, full of motion and action. </div>
<div data-canvas-width="310.6166666666666" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16.6667px; left: 300px; top: 393.815px; transform: scaleX(0.918939);">
These words no longer fit this man. It is not that he is in the land of the living dead, but the pilot light is very dim. It made me sad, not for the wrinkles he now bore, but for the powerlessness. <span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">Youthfulness is as much a </span>state of being as it is a physical state. You can be old at 30 and young at 80. As we age our joints wear out, our body reflects overindulgence, and oxidation causes wrinkles, but our core essence is still intact.</div>
<div data-canvas-width="291.16666666666663" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16.6667px; left: 300px; top: 854.815px; transform: scaleX(0.911558);">

<div data-canvas-width="289.2833333333334" style="font-size: 16.6667px; left: 630px; top: 336.481px;">
We are miraculously amazing complex and <span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">resilient creatures that are capable of rejuvenating </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">our heart and soul, if we so choose. If we continue </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">unhealthy habits, one day we’ll wake up so far </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">behind that cleaning up seems insurmountable, but </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">it is not. There is always a light of hope burning </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">inside of us. We know that we can be better than </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">we are and even the slightest movement in the right </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">direction can motivate and encourage. No one </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">wants a mediocre life. Stop watching the </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">television, and start making something happen.</span></div>

<div data-canvas-width="332.3" style="font-size: 16.6667px; left: 630px; top: 355.481px;">
Youthfulness is not about being a Baywatch babe. <span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">It is all about celebrating you, and the uniqueness </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">you contribute to the world. Cherish that one and </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">only you. Worship yourself by living up to your </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">potential at any age. </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">We are all so gifted to have the power of choice </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">and to be able to act on it. Recapture your </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">youthfulness. Lose the weight, do something </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">daring, spontaneous, and fresh, go to Europe on </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">your own, buy the Harley, jump out of an airplane, </span><span style="font-size: 16.6667px;">find a new passion, or rekindle an old one. Live it up and rejuvenate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If the words we use impact delivery and our goal is collaborative relationships then we need to frame our messages accordingly.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Common language is clear and simple and does not exclude any listeners.

<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Reframing is power lifting, the more we do it the stronger and easier it gets to navigate the muddy waters.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Give yourself 15 minutes to refocus and resist your negative self talk and the noise in your head.

<span style="font-size: x-small;">With 68.8% of Americans overweight or obese does making the </span><b>Calories</b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> and the </span><b>Nutrition Facts</b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> on food labels larger and bolded have any consequence on the ever rising US health problem? According to the FDA this change "will help people make informed decisions" about the foods they consume. I wonder how many Americans peruse nutritional labels, or can even conprehend their value. While some studies show that displaying calorie count on lunch menus does cause a 100 calorie choice deficit, I have to wonder if this is a choice made by the already health conscious individual, and does this behavior have any carryover to packing food labels.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Let us pretend that these minute changes have value. How do we drive people to view them? Is this like the carriage without the horse? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">On the upside, </span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">if you are concerned about your vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium intake you can find these on the new label. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">I do like the change to add "total sugar" and the "added sugar" designations. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Calories from fat" has been removed due to the hoopla around the saturated fat studies, I suppose. Curiously thought, cholesterol remains on the label. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">The serving sizes will also be adapted to reflect what people are expected to consume. </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So, if you read nutrition labels you will enjoy the revisions, and if you don't maybe this blurb will make you curiousier and curiouser. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If you don't have pain, you
will. Up till a few months ago I did not have a personal experience with the
damage that a static position could have on my body. Now attention to body
mechanics maintenance has become foremost in my exercise regime to relieve pain
in my lower back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Seated for most of the day
designing and implementing corporate wellness programs I shortened my hip
flexor muscles, my gluteal muscles stopped firing, and my lower back unwillingly
took on more responsibility for my locomotion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The solution for me, and I
suspect for most dealing with muscular or postural pain, is the application of
soft tissue release techniques. As frequency and consistency are vital to
recovery and rejuvenation of the grieving tissues, the techniques are best
learned and self-applied. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">In the coming months, I
intent to have available for my students and class participants various
myofascial release videos that demonstrate simple, safe, and effective
techniques which can be done at home with a tennis ball, golf ball, or
baseball. I will include modifications for those individuals that find getting
down and up off the floor problematic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Soft tissue release and
myofascial release techniques help us deal with imbalances caused by our body
mechanics, our sports inclination, repetitive movements, old injuries, no
movement, our weekend warrior syndrome, or even our emotional stress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Check in with yourself,
feeling any pain? Please Google self-myofascial release techniques and learn
more about how to apply self-care. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Happy rolling to you,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We have all been imprinted by our past. However, if past learned behaviors do not serve us well today, we can choose to change. Behavior shifts, and reframing knee jerk reactions take time, attention, and action. See challenges as opportunities to boost emotional growth, self-efficacy and self-respect. As we free ourselves from our old ways of being, we start attracting rich new experiences and vitality. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In 1990 Dr. Haley and colleagues published a ground breaking paper in <i>Nature</i> on shortened telomeres and longevity. Telomeres are the ends of DNA chromosomes. We can think of them as like those bits at the ends of our shoelaces. Studies suggest that the shorter the telomere the more is the existence of age related cellular damage such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, infections and even some cancers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The upside is that scientists posit that the telomeres can be lengthened by regular exercise, a plant based diet, stress management and emotional connections. While more research is underway, consider this new feather in the cap of those that practice healthy living. </div>

Remember when mom use to say, "your eyes are bigger than your appetite." That phrase is about expectations and what we imagine in our mind. As a child we imagined the pleasure we would receive by consuming a large amount of our favorite treat. If a small amount is heavenly, we imagine the induced exhilaration of a large amount. Unfortunately, the expected reward of overindulging did not necessarily meet reality, and often we became physically sick. The same may be true of any happiness enhancing futuristic thought. We get more out of the thought than the actual action.<br />
<br />
Sonja Lyubomirsky, happiness scientist, suggests that happiness is getting pleasure from our daily activities, in the moment, and not from something imagined in the future. While "Different people seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life...<i>Aristotle", </i>living in the future makes happiness the illusive carrot.<br />
<br />
To increase daily happiness start by,<br />
Considering what you value in your daily activities,<br />
Get in touch with your feelings around your valued activities,<br />
Reflect on your daily experiences,<br />
Take some time, everyday, to connect with people. <br />
<br />
More to come...</div>
