How do you measure success? Perhaps it's time for a tune up.

What is success?

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“statis is achieved through dynamism… constant change is a form of equilibrium” --Gretel Ehrlich

There's lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it. ~Josh Billings

Thought for the Day....

As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. ~Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979


Live your life exuberantly today!  Carpe Diem!!

Thought for the Day....

He who takes medicine and neglects to diet wastes the skill of his doctors.  ~Chinese Proverb

"A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time - pills or stairs." Joan Welsh

The great thing about health is....today you can make a different choice, a healthier choice, and be healthier today than you were yesterday.

Take a 20-30 minute walk and you will experience:

• Positive changes to your blood sugar levels.
• Positive changes to your triglyceride levels.
• Decreases in muscle tension.
• Decreases in stress hormone levels.
• Decreased blood pressure.
• Increased memory function.
• Increased ability to problem solve.
• Increased bone cell growth (to fight osteoporosis) -- and speaking of... 1 in 4 men over the age of 70 meet the clinical diagnosis for osteoporosis!  Sorry, guys, it's not just a women's disease.

This list is NOT comprehensive.  I could go on and on (but I won't).  These are immediate benefits!  Take a walk at lunch -- you will be healthier by the time you get back to your desk.
