5 Energy Boosters to an Awesome Work Day

Do you ever wish that you could end your day with just as much – if not more – energy than you started it with? Are you interested in avoiding the 3pm crash? These nifty energy boosters will get you going.

That sounds a bit like a dream, doesn’t it? To be able to wrap up your work for the day and not be completely drained. Imagine having the energy to get to the gym, make an awesome dinner, and spend quality time with friends and family.

While it may sound too good to be true, particularly in this season of wishes, it’s not. It’s because we all have an Energy Bank – and throughout the day everything we do create either energy deposits or withdrawals. Your goal is to minimize the withdrawals and maximize the deposits – because the higher your average daily Energy Bank balance and the better job you do at minimizing withdrawals the better you are going to feel at the end of the day.

What You Must Know Before You Invest in Life Insurance

Genworth 16th November Health 3 Comments

Editor’s Note: Information contributed by Genworth Financial.

My husband and I have just had our first child. All of a sudden we find ourselves catapulted into the unknown, from the micro to the macro. Everything is new to us from the diapers, to the (lack of) sleep schedule, to the re-budgeting of our expenses.

We find ourselves thinking about finances a lot more than we used to. And it has occurred to me that one of the benefits of being together for a long time is that our finances have had time to knit themselves together. Sometimes, I rhetorically think to myself that falling in love might be easier than deciding on things like joint bank accounts – although that is debatable. Click Here to Read Article …

Qigong: Stand Up and Recharge Yourself

Dan Kleiman 14th November Health 2 Comments

You’re more than just a brain in a jar. Sometimes, though, we get sucked into working in a way that makes us feel that way. Almost everything you are taught to do in school growing up utilizes the thinking part of your mind and most of us equate our professional worth, to some degree, with our ability to be sharp analytically. That’s fine for some things, but in the qigong world there is a saying that captures this basic problem: “The brain eats the body.” Too much mental work can literally suck up the chi of your body, stealing energy from much needed rest and recovery processes.

Long-term Care: What Are the Options?

Genworth 21st October Health Leave a Comment

Editor’s note: Information contributed by Genworth Financial.

I recently wrote about the benefits of opting into Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) plans for both the employer and employees.

While long-term care can seem like something in the distant future and might not rank among the top five things that must be taken care of now, it’s one of those important life decisions that should be made early one, before it’s actually a necessity. Click Here to Read Article …

LTC Plans — Benefits for Employers and Employees

Genworth 28th September Health 1 Comment

Editor’s Note: Information contributed by Genworth Financial.

Did you know that at least 70% of people over age 65 will require some long-term care and 40% of people under age 65 already require long-term care? LTC costs are increasing beyond the rate of inflation – at a rate of about 4.35% yearly growth. That equates to over $17K annual increase in costs.

Now, more than ever, it’s vital to consider the implications of planning for the future. Click Here to Read Article …

How to Sleep When Your Stressors Keep You Awake

Patricia Julian 19th September Health 11 Comments

Stress and sleep don’t go together. After all, how often have you gone home, exhausted and eager to rest yet feeling overwhelmed by the number of tasks and problems that remain unachieved and unsolved? How to sleep when stress keeps us awake?

I admit that this happens to me often, especially during the peak of the workweek. Despite the fact that my body has been screaming for sleep, I just can’t do it, because my mind refuses to stop thinking about the things that I still have to do. A part of me even feels guilty about wanting to spend the time to sleep, instead of using it to finish any of my tasks. Click Here to Read Article …

5 Stress-Busters to Beat a Deadline

Jen Waak 9th September Health 8 Comments

I totally thrive under the pressure of a deadline. I use deadlines to make myself just start on the work, much less finish it, because I realize that old axiom that “work expands to fill the available time” is true. I’m famous for trying to squeeze in “just one more thing” before even starting the thing I’m supposed to be working on. Here’s where the stress-busters come into picture.

In the past when a deadline approached I would have gone and grabbed myself a snack, taken out my contacts and put on my glasses, gone and gotten my third Americano of the day, and settled in for the marathon session. Click Here to Read Article …
