May 3, 2010
Dear Legacy Business Cultures Facilitator:
Welcome back. We hope you enjoyed the last issue of Facilitator’s Corner. The suggested readings for this issue touch on similiar topics – how to keep yourself healthy both mentally and physically.
- We all know exercise is good for us, but understanding your motivation to do it (or not do it) can play a key role in your healthy lifestyle.
- Having a tough day at work? A 5-minute walk outside in the grass can improve your mood significantly.
- Individuals with heart disease have a greater risk for heart attack if they bottle up anger.
Do you find yourself surrounded by clutter? Not able to accomplish tasks because of distractions? In The Power of Lessby Leo Babauta you’ll learn how to break any goal down into managable tasks; focus on only a few tasks at a time; create new and productive habits and increase your efficiency. Happy reading and best of luck with all of your future facilitation efforts!
Warm regards,
Paul Meshanko
