Take Action to Stay “Up” in a Down Economy by Dana Lightman, Ph.D

You tune in to the economic news, and it’s practically impossible not to have some gut-clenching response. The fact is, there’s not much you can do to change the current economic circumstances. But there is a lot you can do to maintain your own entrepreneurial equilibrium in the face of increased business stressors. And once you are on an even keel, you’ll be ready to use these same tips to bolster your teams.

Don’t feed the negative. A Cherokee chief, teaching his grandson about life, explains that we all battle two wolves. One is negative, filled with anger, self-pity and self-doubt. The other is positive, filled with joy, hope, and trust. His grandson listens carefully and then asks, “Which wolf will win?” The old chief simply replies, “The one you feed.” Stop feeding your negative wolf with complaints, worries, negative talk and excessive media. Even if you can’t feel positive, don’t let your negative wolf put you on a downward spiral.

Action Steps:

• Interrupt negative talk among team members. Negativity is contagious. It will spread like wildfire from one member to another, especially in this atmosphere of economic tension.
• Transform worries into plans. Nothing zaps the energy out of a worry like a well-laid plan. If you are fearful that your sales are down, brainstorm ideas about new sales leads. If you’re fretting because you aren’t getting the bookings you want, inspire yourself to make calls by remembering why you love what you do.
• Take a break from the media. Too much attention to the news can feed your negative wolf. Instead, why not watch an uplifting video.
• Take a step back. You are taking a photograph. When you have the lens on zoom, it’s easy to focus solely on your subject. Conversely, if you step back far enough, your subject becomes one small part of a larger landscape. It’s the same principle with maintaining an upward spiral. You may need to zoom in on a particular problem or stressor in order to develop a solution. But don’t keep your focus there. Remember to take a step back to see a bigger picture. Put your problem in the context of positive aspects and it ceases to dominate your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You are now free to experience a sense of relief and perhaps serenity.

Action Steps:

• Write down all the things you love about your direct sales business. Whenever you have a problem or feel stressed, take out the paper and read it. This is a great positive attitude adjuster
• Take a moment to recall a time when you had a successful business event. Really get into the feeling by remembering what you were wearing, the surroundings, who else was there, etc. When you need to take a step back from a problem, flash on this mental image in a clear and vivid way.
• Reframe difficulties into gains. You are likely to face some business difficulties as a result of the current economic uncertainties. While this can be troublesome, within every difficulty lies the potential for gain. Think about past problems or disappointments and the gains that emerged over time in handling those situations. Now, imagine the possible benefits that you may derive from your current difficulties. For example, in searching for solutions, you may discover some hidden talents among your team members or more effective marketing tools. By focusing on these potential gains, you are creating the momentum you need to keep you (and your team) inspired and energized.

Action Steps:

• Think of a current difficulty. Using your past experiences and your imagination, write a list of all the possible gains from having to handle this difficulty. Write down the gains and read the list regularly.
• Have a team brainstorm. First, have each member think of past problems and the lessons and gains that came from that situation. Now, as a team, identify a current difficulty and brainstorm all the potential gains. Use each other as support to focus on these gains. The choice is yours. You can either succumb to the negative or take action to stay in the positive. Which wolf will you feed? Use these five tips as inspiration to feed your positive wolf and put you and your team members on an upward spiral of success!

What is B-2

Riboflavin, as vitamin B₂ is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. As such, vitamin B₂ is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. It plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. Milk, cheese, leafy green vegetables, liver, kidneys, legumes, tomatoes, yeast, mushrooms, and almonds[2] are good sources of vitamin B₂, but exposure to light destroys riboflavin.

Information And Facts On Muscle Cramps

Most common muscle cramps occur at night and affect the legs, especially the calf muscles, and the feet. These kinds of cramps occur more frequently in elderly people. Children may experience a type of muscle and leg pain often called "growing pains." Muscle cramping is most commonly caused by an imbalance in the levels of calcium and magnesium in the body and/ or a deficiency of vitamin E. Anemia, the use of to- bacco - smoking, inactivity, fibromyalgia,arthritis, and even arteriosclerosis can also result in cramping, as can dehydration, heat stroke, hypothyroidism, or varicose veins, or, more rarely, the early stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease). The use of diuretic drugs for high blood pressure or heart disorders may lead to electrolyte imbalances, causing muscle cramps. Poor circulation also contributes to leg cramps.

Information And Facts On Oily Skin

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous oil secreting glands overproduce more oil than is needed for proper lubrication of the body's skin. This excess oil can clog pores and also cause skin blemishes. Oily skin is probably mainly a factor of heredity, but it is known to be affected by factors such as diet, hormone levels, and lifestyle. Humidity and hot weather can also stimulate the sebaceous glands into producing more oil than normal. Because human skin tends to become dryer with aging, and because of the hormonal changes of adolescence, oily skin is common in teenagers, but it can occur at any age. At other times in people's lives hormonal changes may occur that can be a problem like menopause. Many people have skin that is oily only in certain areas and dry or normal in others, a condition known as "combination" skin. Normally, the chin, forehead, nose, and the upper back tend to be oilier than other areas of the body. Oily skin does has some positive aspects. It is slow to develop age spots and discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. It doesn't freckle or turn red in the sun on the contrary, it usually tans evenly and very beautifully. On the negative side, oily skin is vulnerable to "breakouts" well past adolescence and has a chronically shiny appearance, an oily or greasy feeling, as well as enlarged pores.

Information And Facts On Omega III

Omega-3 essential fatty acid is a alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).  It has a long chain of carbon atoms and is poly-unsaturated. It is essential because the body can not manufacture it. They were first discovered by Drs. Burr and Burr in 1930. More recently, they attracted major scientific interest when two Danish scientists studied Greenland Eskimos and found that though ALA is converted they consumed huge amounts of fat contained in seals and fish, they had relatively healthy hearts and circulation.

What can Omega 3 fatty acids do for you? Over 2,000 studies have been done on Omega 3 fatty acids and their effect on human and animal health. It is now established that sufficient amounts of Omega 3s can: Support normal blood pressure. Support normal circulation Support a healthy heart These beneficial fats are in the oil naturally found in fish. The omega 3 fats, EPA and DHA, play different but equally vital roles in human health. How do omega 3 fatty acids work? EPA - helps make the platelets in blood less sticky which in turn could helps support healthy circulation. DHA - supports a normal heart rhythm. May help regulate cell membrane functions involved in transmitting signals among brain cells.

What are the potential benefits of omega 3? Heart Health In Chicago's Western Electric Study (over 2,000 men) the overall heart health was enhanced by those people who were using omega 3. Other recent research suggests that just one serving a week of omega 3 fatty acids from fish could significantly support the health and well-being of the heart. People taking omega 3 supplements report normal structure and function of joints. Healthy brain function These omega 3 fatty acids may be helpful in normal brain development and mood enhancement. Due to their effect on prostaglandin synthesis omega 3 fatty acids support normal GI structure. Blood triglyceride support Omega 3 supplements may be helpful in supporting normal blood triglyceride levels.

Precautions Anyone taking other blood thinning agents such as coumadin or aspirin, should consult with your physician or pharmacist if you're taking fish oil supplements in addition to other drugs. How much omega 3 fatty acids? Americans on average now get 700-1,400 milligrams of omega 3 weekly. The estimate for therapeutic benefits is 3,500 milligrams weekly. There is no official recommendation for omega 3. The estimate is based on amount needed, for example, to lower triglycerides. http://www.healthyrus.net/energy-booster.html

Facts On Vitamin B-12

Vitamin B-12 is required for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells, maintenance of myelin sheath surrounding nerves (which is important for normal nerve cell activity), and is important for the synthesis of DNA and RNA.

Vitamin B-12 works with folic acid to support normal homocysteine levels. Normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid metabolite supports heart and circulatory health.

Vitamin B-12 stimulates growth in children, and stimulates the utilization of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It is also required for production of choline, and methionine, an amino acid.

B-12 is unique in that it is the only vitamin that contains an essential mineral, cobalt. Cobalt is thereby needed to make B-12 and as such is essential for health. Intestinal absorption of vitamin B-12 is dependent on a substance made in the stomach called intrinsic factor. Production of the compound decreases with age, making the elderly at risk for B-12 deficiency and anemia. Stress and stomach surgery also weaken the body's ability to produce the intrinsic factor. Hydrochloric acid helps the absorption of B-12, therefore absorption is diminished when acid production is reduced.

Vitamin B-12 supports energy levels. While there is limited support that they work, B-12 injections have been a common practice for the treatment of fatigue. There are various contributors to fatigue. As we age, the digestive and absorptive processes are not as efficient as when we are young. This can greatly contribute to a vitamin B-12 deficiency.

In older people, B-12 has been used for psychological symptoms, including senile psychosis. It has also been used for other symptoms including fatigue, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, memory problems, depression, and poor balance.

Vitamin B-12 is not found in the vegetable foods except for foods fermented by certain bacteria. Vegans, strict vegetarians that consume no animal source foods may not get adequate vitamin B-12 from dietary sources. The body stores vitamin B-12 so it typically will take several years for a deficiency to develop.

With B-12 deficiency, the body forms large, immature red blood cells, resulting in an anemia called pernicious anemia. It is characterized by fatigue and weakness. Most commonly, B-12 deficiency impacts red blood cells, energy level, state of mind, and nervous system. Initial symptoms typically start in the nervous system. Vitamin B-12 nourishes the myelin sheathes surrounding the nerves, which help maintain normal nerve impulses. If left unchecked, the problems related to the nervous system can lead to permanent damage. More severe pernicious anemia can progress to nerve or brain and spinal cord degeneration, which can result in weakness, numbness, tingling, shooting pains, and diminished reflex response.

Food Portion and Weight Control

We haven’t really identified what a serving size consists of. The important thing has been to get you eating the right kind of foods, first, and then tackling the issue of portions.

Although you don’t need to weigh or measure everything, it is important to become familiar with some of the basic food measurements in your diet.

Don’t become preoccupied with portions, because, then you are thinking too much about food. Just keep the following information about serving sizes in mind.

• A serving of protein should be about the size of a deck of playing cards 

• Vegetable and fruits should be about the size of a tennis ball 

• A slice of cheese is about the size of a 3 1/2 inch computer disk 

• A chunk of cheese is about as thick as 2 dominoes

• One slice of bread or one half of a bagel or one roll counts as a bread serving 

• Rice and pasta should be about the size of a tennis ball 

• Cottage cheese and yogurt-also about the size of a tennis ball

Note: If you want to go a little more with the fruits and vegetables, feel free.

Using the measurements at home won’t be a problem. Going out to dinner however can be a big problem. We live in the land of super-sized portions, and you must learn to take half of it home with you, leave it or split it.

“The steadily growing size of the food portions served at restaurants and at home is one of the causes of obesity in this country,” according to a new survey by the American Institute for Cancer Research

Restaurants are distorting what the average American believes is a suitable amount to eat. Larger servings offered in restaurants and vending machines and, especially fast food, lead people to eat more all the time.

Researchers in the January 22/29 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association analyzed data from national surveys conducted between 1977 and 1998 and including more than 63,000 people aged two years and older. Portion sizes increased for nearly all foods at home and in restaurants.

The serving size of an average soft drink, for instance, increased from 13 ounces and 144 calories to nearly 20 fluid ounces and 193 calories.

The average cheeseburger grew from 5.8 ounces to 7.3 ounces, swelling from 397 to 533 calories.

And salty snacks grew from 1 ounce to 1.6 ounces, climbing from 132 calories to 225 calories.

The largest portion sizes were found in fast food restaurants between 1994 and 1998.

Since an additional 100 calories a day can translate into 10 extra pounds a year, the study underscores the need to control portion size as a way to control weight.

Since it is doubtful that restaurants are going to resolve this anytime soon, it is up to each individual to be very aware of this perversion of portions, and deal with it.

80If you know you can’t stop eating while it is on the plate, ask for a doggy bag before you start eating. This way you can clean your plate, if that is what you feel obliged to do.

You can also split the portion with someone who is also concerned about his or her weight. My favorite strategy is to order a salad and an appetizer, and that usually is about the right amount.

So, if possible, stay away from processed and fast foods and prepare fresh healthy meals yourself.

We all use the excuse of no time to eat at fast food places, but you have to be committed to your health and your diet, if you truly want to look and feel better.
