exercise vs diet: the mindset

April 30, 2007

8

If you scan the magazine racks these days, you’ll see the word DIET a lot more than you’ll see the word EXERCISE, and that’s not because we’re consonant-rationing. Our society is currently in a diet restriction mentality, rather than a physical challenge mentality, something a number of sociologists have tied to cultures experiencing simultaneous affluence and insecurity.

Not the world’s most scientific test, but still worth a shot. If nothing else, it’s blog fodder! To post the results in your own blog, take the test and copy the HTML the form gives you, then paste it in the HTML or Code editor. Sometimes the picture moves to the left after you post […]

Just a different KIND of soul. Watch Davy Jones of the Monkees and Charlie Smalls and learn. White, black, Brazilian, splitting the difference, we all have soul. Video over the jump: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

affirmations for health

April 24, 2007

Let’s be honest: affirmations are foofy, West Coast mantras that make people nervous. But they just might work. Give them a go and see if they work for you, foofy or not. After all, your bathroom mirror won’t tell on you. Recite the affirmation that you prefer to yourself in the mirror each morning, before you’ve […]

Read the last post. Does this remind you of you? It’s critical to define the changes we want to make in our lives and in ourselves before embarking on the journey of change.

The first, which you can find here, is on determining what really matters to you and what you need to get there.
