Be True to You

To be nobody but yourself in a World which is doing it’s best, night and day, to make you everybody else–means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight.
~E.E. Cummings

One of my favorite books (given to me by a dear friend and coach, Donna Marguglio) entitled Aspire, written by Kevin Hall, has a chapter that starts with this thought-provoking quote from E.E. Cummings. That chapter covers a word I have often misunderstood, but loved: "Namaste".

As Kevin Hall writes, Albert Einstein learned of the word “Namaste” and it’s meaning after watching Mahatma Gandhi in a newsreel greeting people in the streets of India by bowing with his hands pressed together. Einstein wrote Gandhi and asked what he was saying. Gandhi replied, “Namaste. It means I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you of light, love, truth, peace, and wisdom.”

Imagine what impact this single word could have on the world id every day you looked at each person that you passed in the eye and said, in effect: I salute the Divine within you. I salute what you do best. I salute your natural gifts. I honor your uniqueness and your specialness.

In yet another perspective of this powerful word, how often do we fail to recognize how unique we truly are? And how often do we squelch our natural gifts and growth in the process, when these are the very things that would make our contribution more valuable?

So this week, be nobody buy yourself- live in Namaste…for yourself, and the people you meet.

Feel Good February

Berries with Whipped Cream
  1. Get Your Heart Pumping. Charity walks and runs raise money for a good cause and get you moving in the great outdoors. Bring the family or your co-workers along to make it a team event. To find an event, check your local American Heart Association or your local runners' clubs, like Road Runners.
  2. Be a Fair-Trade Valentine. Buy certified fair-trade chocolate from companies that ensure that small-scale farmers receive higher and more stable prices for their cocoa. Try Divine, Theo, or the many gourmet organic bars at Equal Exchange cooperative.
  3. Love the Environment. Don't say it with flowers -- unless they're organic. Buy fresh organic blooms from your local farmer's market, or send a bunch from Organic Bouquet, which donates 10 percent to charities like CARE, the Global Fund for Women, and the American Red Cross.

Sweet Sleep

Say No! to Processed Foods
Many people are unaware of the extent to which their lack of sleep contributes to feelings of irritability, impatience, anxiety, and depression. In becoming a healthier you, it is critical to make sure your body is receiving the proper amount of sleep each night. Here is a checklist to help ensure you are taking the right actions to ensure a good nights sleep.

  • Make sleep a priority.
  • Avoid large meals several hours before bed. A general rule is "don't dine after nine".
  • Develop a sleep ritual like reading a book, taking a bath or listening to music. Setting a consistent routine just before going to bed signals to you body that it's time to settle down for the night.
  • Keep regular hours. Try your best to fall asleep and arise around the same time each day and try to avoid napping unless you are sleep deprived.
  • Exercise regularly. Physical activity can help relieve daily tensions and stress. However, try to refrain from exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime because the endorphins secreted during a workout can keep you awake.
