December InnerLight-Bulb: Sleeping it off

Did all that turkey from Thanksgiving make you want a nap?  Since so many people find the Holiday Season stressful, now is a good time to look at sleep hygiene.  We've heard getting enough sleep is good for us.  But if you are one of the many Americans who can't fall asleep at night, that may be easier said than done.  Here are some tips for getting a good night's rest.

Exhausted is different than sleepy:"Contrary to what people think, being exhausted doesn't necessarily make people sleep better," says Thomas Roth, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorder Center at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

November InnerLight-Bulb: Attitude of Gratitude

With Thanksgiving just around the corner there is usually more talk of gratitude this time of year.  But an attitude of gratitude is more than just a tired cliche.  Did you know that being grateful is beneficial all year long?

Alert, enthusiastic, determined, energized: 
Self-guided daily gratitude exercises in young adults resulted in higher reported levels of positive states of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, and energy compared to a focus on hassles or downward social comparison (ways in which participants thought they were better off than others).

Unsatisfied needs of Erik Lenshirr lead him to become Magneto, mutant super villain.

Unsatisfied needs of Erik Lenshirr lead him to become Magneto, mutant super villain

Yes I'm an X-men fan as well as Spiderman, Superman, Batman and the list goes on. Recently Kraig, Karson, Naomi and I watched the newest X-men flick. I actually had a blast trying to apply my NVC skills to the characters. Of course I was drawn to giving empathy to the young Erik Lenshirr who was not able to save his non mutant mothers life because he had not yet mastered his skill. The twist is that he now projects his anger and fear toward the humans when it was in fact a Mutant who shot his human mother in front of him as a young boy.

October InnerLight-Bulb: "Back" to Basics

Having a healthy back begins with proper posture.  Among other things, proper posture:
  • Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
  • Prevents strain or overuse problems.
  • Prevents backache and muscular pain.
  • Contributes to a good appearance.

So what exactly is posture?  Posture is the position you hold your body in, whether it's while standing, sitting, or lying down.  "Proper" posture is when you hold your body (while standing, walking, sitting, and lying) in positions where the least amount of strain is placed on the supporting structures like muscles and ligaments.
