January 29 - Curmudgeon Day

1/29/2015

Today is Curmudgeon Day.  My Dad used to claim to be a curmudgeon, but  he is not, AT ALL!  Turns out that a curmudgeon is an "irritable and complaining person."  Do you ever feel like that is you?  How does it feel to experience that?   What do you do about it?   There's a newish word, "Hangry" that describes the feeling of being angry because of hunger. Sometimes eating something or drinking something will help deal with curmudgeon like behaviors or feelings.  

Breathing is another incredibly powerful tool to combat both being an irritable and complaining person and dealing with one.  For a talk I am giving next month, I am exploring different breathing techniques and the impact of each. 

 Next time you feel curmudgeonly, try this technique from the ever wise Andrew Weill - Breathing to Reduce Anxiety   Another approach is to learn HeartMath which is an incredibly powerful stress reduction technique.  What is your favorite breathing activity?

Do you want to learn more way to combat curmudgeon-ness?  Or do you want to learn HeartMath? Contact me!

January 6 Apple Tree Day

It’s Apple Tree day today.   Turns out, not surprisingly, apples are good for you.  They help to regulate  blood sugar, they are good for the heart, and they have anti-oxidant properties. They also may help fight asthma. Apparently, part of the the benefits of apples are found in the poloyphenols that appear primarily in the apple's skin.  The apple uses polyphenols to protect again the sun's radiation - a natural sunscreen for apples.  If you want to learn more about polyphenols, check out what the World's Healthiest Foods Organization has to say about apples. 

Turns out that one bad apple can actually ruin the whole bunch, so bruised apples should be separated from other apples.  Apples should be stored in the refrigerator.  They will do best and last longest in a crisper drawer on top of a dampened paper towel.

On the other hand, if you want to ripen other fruit, put an apple in a paper bag with the other fruit and both will ripen more quickly.

It's so much more fun and more rewarding to pick apples from a tree than at a grocery store.  But, if there is not an apple tree handy, remember to choose apples that are not bruised and buy organic.  Apples are at the top of the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen list.

By the way, Matt and I have launched a new non-profit -- Break Through Academy.  This blog now lives on the Break Through Academy website (www.b-t-academy.org).    Feel free to visit it and to check out the newly relaunched Break Through Consulting site with an increased focus on Healthy Organizations.  More to come about both endeavors!
