Comment on A Feeble Body Makes a Feeble Mind? Or Just the Opposite? by healthy_blogging

Obesity maybe caused by a number of factors including poor diet, stress, medicinal side effects, sedentary lifestyle, financial constraints, etc. In MOST cases, however, it is due to a lack of education and awareness as to the dangers of overweight and obesity. It is ineffective to shame a person into losing weight. Indeed it may have just the opposite effect: cause the person to eat more food because his/her self-esteem maybe adversely affected.

People respond differently to information sometimes it is visual, other times it is social proof, etc. What really needs be done is to encourage people to see how their lives maybe improved by leading a healthy lifestyle. It’s also important to note that although we have control over certain elements within our lives, not everyone truly accepts this as fact. Indeed some people think that they have absolutely no control over the outcome of events and thus will not likely take steps to improve their health.

I personally love physical fitness. The benefits go beyond the obvious i.e. increased physical strength, agility and endurance but also increased mental awareness, confidence and improved health of mind, body and spirit. With my website Living Fit, Healthy and Happy, I encourage people to lead a healthy lifestyle but I can not compel anyone to do anything. Ultimately it does come down to freedom of choice. But if a person is properly encouraged, using compassion and understanding, we may see a greater proportion of the general population taking up a healthy lifestyle.

Leanne… I really enjoyed your post… When turning around an organization or keeping one healthy, I simply following the rule of concentrating on your own core expertise, then hiring out experts to do the rest. In today’s constantly changing world, we can’t stay on top of it all and outsourcing can be a strategic way to empower an organization to success, as well a key tool to any “turnaround artist”. What role do you think outsourcing will play?

Lea,
I like the notion that creativity can be learned. The 7′C principles listed in your post are very helpful. Too often we associate creativity with art and that is too narrow. This topic is thought provoking. Thanks for providing some great food for thought.
Best
Joe

Comment on Uncommon Communication, pt. 1 by Michelle

I think a key for communication is well summed up in “People choose to listen, because they care aboutwhat is being said and have interest in what will happen next.”

If we care enough about each other to care what the other is actually trying to say… a lot of our issues just evaporate away.

Thanks for this interview (and on Friday the 13th even)!

Comment on Pushing Through the Hesitation of Social Media by Sandy Schussel

Alex,
Thanks for the comments. Great motivational quotes and song lyrics can help those who need to stay on track and true to who they are. The same is true of non-toxic people–those that will support you, even if they don’t understand you. People who won’t, out of their own fears, try to hold you back.

One I love is from Gandhi: We must BE the change we want to see in this world.

Keep doing what you’re doing.
