Postings from Jenny's blog.
I’ve contemplated blogging about this for quite a while, but didn’t want to come across as a whiner…..but after today’s run I need to vent. I’ve been battling/living with rheumatoid arthritis since I was 12 years old.
If you could do any one of the following things without worrying about its effect on your health, which would you choose?
There’s a lot of anxiety for me when things don’t get checked off the to-do list - especially when that means the list continues to get longer and longer. I know you can relate as we all often times feel like there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it.
I was recently doing a speaking engagement for a group of Fortune 500 executives in the technology sector and we were talking about how regular exercise improves cognitive performance, focus, energy, and resiliency. One of them raised their hand and asked “I know you travel a lot, so how do you fit regular exercise into your schedule?” My answer was simple…
I recently spent two days speaking at the Yale School of Management to a group of upper level, international executives. They were a bright group but it never fails to surprise me how often brilliant people often overlook one critical thing: expecting great things from one’s self without a thought to taking care of the body and mind that provide and sustain that excellent performance.
Contrary to what we might believe when we sit down to a meal or a snack, a serving size is NOT how much food we’re given or how much comes in a package. One serving of ice cream is a 1/2 cup. Seriously - measure out a 1/2 cup and try to contain your laughter. Who eats just a 1/2 cup of ice cream?! That’s barely enough to get my mouth dirty.
For whatever reason I can never get my email inbox to less than 27 messages. When I need to get things done on my computer and be as productive as possible, here’s my trick:
Marketing & branding foods with characters like Dora the Explorer drives preschoolers to choose higher-calorie, less nutritious foods as well as gives them the perception that those foods taste better than ones that don’t have characters on them. Remember when the cigarette industry had to get rid of Joe Camel because it was directed at kids?
I was working with the amazing designer who created my cards this morning and her son was working on an art project while we were talking. About 10 minutes ago there was a knock on the door - it was her son and he had something in his hands. It was my new box design!
PowerHouse Performance Coaching is proud to announce that we’ll be featured on ShopNBC tomorrow, Monday the 21st, at 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM! I have a new giant zit I’ll be sporting. It’s not on my face, but still, what gives? I feel like I should…
