You can read a summary of the disengagement study from Business on Main. I think the reasons in the study were very helpful. I also think that it is the manager’s responsibility to fight for their employees and try to help them re-engage – or to  disengage them completely and fire the malignant employees, else all employees will actively disengage and you’ll be stuck with a team of dead weight. Though I recommend firing bad employees as fast as you can, I also know that’s not always possible or preferred. So here are some tips to help you understand why your team might be way off into the land of disengagement. Bad boss -  Nothing in the world is worse than a ...

Cancer or not. Encephalitis or not. Hospital or not. Miscarriage or not. Although I will admit that one year we missed the pick-up deadline for our region, and brought our shoeboxes to a local battered women's shelter. That was a great experience, and I would highly recommend finding a local charity you can partner with so that your children get actual, hands-on experience helping desperate people. We now visit that shelter twice a year with children's and women's clothing we are no longer using, and all the toys we have sorted out of our toy room. The kids are always like kids in a candy store when we show up with a couple of garbage bags of new toys!But this - this is what we've done every year.

At first, a little funny, a little annoying. And – have you ever hiccupped in the middle of a yawn? During a meeting? There are many so-called cures for hiccups, such as: Pinch the back of your shoulder until it hurts Hold your breath and count to 20 Gargle Surgery? (keep reading) As annoying as hiccups can be, for some people, they don’t go away. The medical term is singultus, although you rarely hear a doctor calling it that. Prolonged hiccups are those that last up to 48 hours, but longer than 48 hours, they are called intractable hiccups. As odd as this may sound, this does need to be treated because they can cause other problems (inability to sleep, difficulty breathing, and so on). In the United Kingdom, a 25-year-old m...

As readers of this blog know only too well, during October we are overwhelmed by displays of tacky pink crap whenever we venture into most retail establishments. It was especially difficult for me this year, because my good friend Debutaunt, who won both of the previous two contests, died last spring. Every crappy pink ribbon product made me grieve for Deb, who was not here to share my outrage. As always, The Assertive Cancer Patient suggests that you fight back by voting with your wallet.

Now the debate seems to be whether the appropriations in the bill will have a stimulative effect. I have my doubts, but I hope for the best. Luckily, we don’t have to rely on the government to do all of the work – and I do mean “luckily”. Private citizens and corporate entities can do their part to stimulate the economy as well.

And of the two, taxes are probably the one that we understand the most about. Death, on the other hand, remains a mystery.  For ever, people have been asking the question ‘what is your purpose and why on earth do we live only to die?’ Many have tried to answer this question but in the end, death and the possibility of an afterlife, remains a mystery. The directors of a new documentary The Path are hoping to remove some of this mystery surrounding death, dying, and, in particular,  the afterlife. It features interviews with 13 individuals - well renowned authors, practitioners and well respected local practitioners in Upstate New York - who offer their their expertise on their own souls path, what they have learne...

I just love getting out on the road and heading somewhere. I don’t even have to be heading anywhere in particular. I just like to be on the road. So it‘s not surprising that  Sadie Nardini’s book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ caught my eye. After, the whole premise of the book rested on one of my favorite activities. But once I started reading, I soon realised that this road trip was unlike any other I had taken. Instead of packing a bag and jumping in a car, it was asking me to unpack, declutter, and remove the roadblocks in my life. Quite a daunting task, if you ask me. But I was up for the challenge. After all, it was making sense. L...

After all, we live in a world that seems to be obsessed with sex. But when it comes to talking about the intimate details of one’s sex life, it’s something that seldom happens, especially among women. Writer and editor Paula Derrow thinks this is because of fear… ‘fear of being exposed as inadequate, or worse, of being boring. Living in an all-sex-all-the-time culture may be liberating in many ways, but it can also breed shame - shame for not keeping up, for not being invited to the party.’ ...

But what if you could lose weight and help feed the hungry at the same time? That’s the idea behind a new campaign created by General Mills, NBC’s The Biggest Loser and the non-profit organization Feeding America. It’s called the Pound for Pound Challenge because, for ever pound you lose, General Mills will donate 10 cents to Feeding America. That’s enough, apparently, to provide one pound of groceries to a local food bank. Imagine all those 10 cents added together - just think of how many pounds of groceries Feeding America could provide for those without food.   All you have to do is take the pledge, start dieting (and of course exercising) and watch your lost pounds convert...

The money’s really good, the climate is perfect, and all I’ll have to do is wander around the local area, exploring all it has to offer and report back weekly via blogs, photo diaries, video updates and media interviews. I’d all have to collect the mail, feed the fish, and clean the pool. No, I’m not making this up.

But I’m okay with exercising at home. There’s a crosstrainer sitting in the home office and often, especially when I’m suffering from writer’s block, I do 5 or 6 kilometers and not only feel refreshed but also unblocked.  And then there are numerous exercise videos and DVDs cluttering up the TV cabinet, all of which get used from time to time.

Chocolate Chip seemed the most popular but the Lemon Yoghurt and Chocolate Peanut Butter were a close second and third. But the winner of the ‘one-month supply of Detour Runner Bars’, according to my trusty random number organizer, is…. Steve who said ‘I just started training for a half-marathon in May. I think the Peanut Butter Chocolate bars would be a good energy boost’. Congratulations Steve. You should be getting an email shortly with directions on how and where to provide your mailing address. And good luck to you with the half-marathon. I’m sure these detour bars will help. As for the rest of the us, there is always a chance to win tomorrow.

First, I posted about the winner of the Yoga Paws. And now, I’m posting about Healthbolt’s latest giveaway – a Yoga DVD. But it’s not just any old yoga DVD. This one is by Sadie Nardini, director of East West Yoga in New York City and founder of Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, a form of yoga considered a ‘calorie-torcher’ by Time Out New York. Apparently it can transform the body faster in 60 minutes than most yoga does in 90 minutes. This Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga:Power Hour DVD  is full on and features a 40-minute Floor Flow, Core Salutations (Warm + Energize + Tone), a 20-Minute Wall Flow, Core Stretch (Invert + Detox + Stretch ) plus a BEGINNER COMMENTARY on Alignment Tips and Modifications for Basic Level!

I don’t usually spend much time checking my heart rate when exercising. I’m usually too busy simply trying to keep breathing and not collapsing.

Me, I’m a walker. Whenever the weather’s good, I head for the beach, the park, or the forest to walk for an hour or two. I have no technique – I simply put one foot in front of the other. I thought that’s all I needed to do to get fit and healthy. But having spent a little time reading up about ChiWalking, I’m starting to change my mind. Walking should be much more than simply one foot in front of the other. ChiWalking is a unique program that utilizes the principles and orientation as Yoga, Pilates, and T’ai Chi to help people work with core muscles, integrate the mind and body, and focuse on overall and long term performance and well-being.

As Scott says “The New Year is a time for looking ahead, a time for renewal and reflection, a time to set new goals, and (typically) a time for weight loss. Why not make this year’s commitment to lose weight a more permanent healthy step by making a pledge to do without sugar for 30 days.” The author of the book Sugarettes, Scott is making it his mission to increase awareness of the addictive qualities of sugar and the health hazards of that addiction.

It’s everywhere. In fact, it’s almost impossible to avoid and according to Dr Scott Olson, in his book Sugarettes, it’s as addictive as cigarettes. I’ve just finished reading Sugarettes and I got to say, it was a real eye opener. Who knew that sugar was so prevalent in society today? Seems that everything we eat and drink has sugar in it and the more processed the food, the more the sugar content.  In Sugarettes, Scott Olson looks at how sugar affects the body and why we should look at it as an addiction and a leading cause of not only obesity but also other medical illnesses of our times. This is a must read for anyone interested in improving their diet and their health.          Healthbolt has three copies of this fascinating book to giveaway to anyone anywher...
