Toxicity in the Workplace SHANTI CONSULTING NEWSLETTER
April 2009

Greetings!

Most clients are unfit because of their workplaces. I call this the toxicity of the workplace. It's like they live to go to work. No. Your workplace is an extension of yourself. Don't let it dictate how you should feel.

Easier said than done?

Not really. You just have to make sure you are the boss. During this nice long weekend, why not take a few moments to clean off a work area and sit with a clean sheet of paper. Then write down how you are going to make your workplace more healthy for yourself.

First, don't spend your day at your desk. Neither the body or mind were made for that. This makes for a cranky you.

Second, make time for a daily stretch. If your workplace doesn't offer a noontime stretch class, make one. Just get a small area where 5 people can get together and stretch. You can invite a yoga teacher such as myself, in to show you some moves.

Drink water. Eat healthy. Tell yourself, NO, FOOD IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS. You can think better with less sugar in your body. Instead, think ahead for daytime food emergencies and keep cut veggies and lots of fruit around. Green tea is also a good pacifier. If you think you are going to cave, just tell yourself, the weekend is coming, you can have whatever you want then.

  • Michelle Obama's Arms and Betty Davis Eyes

    Everyone's been raving about them. Michelle Obama's arms. How does she do it? Here's a link to a reliable story written by a fitness author who has told millions how to sculpt the female body. http://tiny.cc/wkxVg

    But, you will say you have no time. Michelle Obama apparently gets up at 4:30 am. And her day is no picnic. It is not that hard to stay in shape, as long as you don't want to be a supermodel or go to the Olympics.

    You basically have 5 days of the week when you should eat right. Get a trainer to show you a lean workout that you can do every day for 10 minutes. That's it. You too can look like Michelle Obama. Honest.


    Gift Certificates

    If you know someone who wants to get their fitness program into gear, then Shanti Consulting has gift certificates for 1, 2 or 3 sessions.

    Do you know a friend who has a major birthday or special day coming up? Ask them if they would like stress reduction sessions, or toning sessions.



    Getting Ready for your Summer Body

    Too many people use food as a stress relief. Then they don't get enough exercise and the cycle goes on and on.

    How do we get out of this trap? Writing therapy is one way. You can also promise yourself those off days on weekends. Fitness is not a grueling challenge as people make it out to be.

    Instead, it is a better place to be and see the world from. You can think better when you are fitter. Just do some kind of "meaningful" exercise every day and eat well, fruits, vegetables and some protein. Then you have earned the weekend.
