This posture gets its name because it is said to give you the ability to digest rocks - not that I recommend you testing out the name to that degree!   However, it's beneficial effects on the digestive system are quite valuable as well as it's ability to make you solid and balanced as a rock.

To come into Rock Pose, begin by kneeling on both knees with the top of the feet on the ground.  Then sit back on the heels.  If you are uncomfortable in this position, you can place a small pillow between your heels and your buttocks.  Keep the spine straight by placing the heels on the sitting bones, lifting the chest and sternum slightly upward, and gently stretch the back of the neck straight by pulling the chin toward the back of the neck.  The head stays level and centered and the muscles of the neck and throat remain loose.  The legs can be apart or together, but try to fit the heels right into the little notch at the top end of your femur, just under your buttocks where the sitting bones are and where there is an acupressure point which invokes a sense of calm and stimulates digestion.

In this position, breathe deeply through the nose, consciously moving the breath into the digestive areas.  Just three minutes a day is a wonderful gift to your digestive system.

1.  Work Smart: when you can't avoid the activity, you need to think about how you can do the activity with the least amount of impact to your body.  For shoveling this means good body mechanics, remembering to bend your knees and lift with your legs and to rotate which side of the body you are throwing the snow so you spread the impact better between your two sides.  Use a more ergonomic shovel or do the light stuff with a broom which uses a different motion.

2.  Pace Yourself:  the line from being sore to becoming injured often gets crossed by trying to do too much at one time.  I understand that you want or need to get the job done quickly, but even so, taking a few breaks to do a couple stretches and get some water can make a difference and still keep you on your time schedule.  Going a bit more slowly to take the time to use the right body mechanics will pay off.

3.  Share The Burden:  recruit everyone in the family to do part of the job.  Many hands might the work light…and will help your back and shoulders!  Even little ones can do some parts of the job like a front stoop or a small patch of the work.

4.  Consider Hiring Help For Certain Conditions:  the really wet snows make the heaviest burdens and even small clearings can strain the body.  These might be the snows for which you hire the plow or a neighborhood child.

5.  Stretch: using your muscles creates tension, especially when done for longs periods in a repetitive fashion.  An important part of preventing the tension from building up into a crisis point is to reduce the tension and return the muscles back to their normal resting length, rather than having the muscles held in shortened, tight state.  Full body stretching provided by yoga can be nice but if you're short on time, pick stretches that address the specific areas that are impacted by the work.  If you don't know what to do, work with a massage therapist, a physical therapist, an exercise physiologist, or a yoga teacher to find what would serve you.

6.  Follow Up With An Epsom Salt Bath: after you've done your work and tried to minimize the impact, you now need to address the tension that did develop.  A hot bath with Epsom Salts to draw out the toxins can take the edge off the soreness.  Note that if you are doing this in the day and you need to do other work, follow the hot bath by a cool or cold shower rinse so your energy rebounds.

7.  Use Arnica: homeopathic arnica or arnica creams further supports the body's aches and pains.  The difference between homeopathic arnica versus the cream is that one is for a systemic effect, all over aches and pains, versus area specific body areas.  Usually with winter chores it will be a whole body effect so the homeopathic pellets taken 3 x day for 1-2 days will work well.

8.  Stay Hydrated: being out in the cold, you may not realize how much energy you are putting out and how much water you are losing through sweating.  Muscles tighten when dehydrated.  The general rule of thumb is to drink at least 4 ounces of water every sixty minutes depending on how hard you are working.  At the least, make sure you drink a big glass once you're done.

9.  Get Professional Help When Needed: if you done all of the above and still feel on the edge physically, this is the time to get professional intervention.  Get the chiropractic adjustment, the deep tissue or hot stone massage, the acupuncture treatment - whatever techniques fit your needs and philosophy.

10.  Rest: last but not least, make sure to get some down time.  Whether that means going to bed early, taking an afternoon cat nap, or just getting your feet up while reading a book, rest is a key component to renewal.

It all started with a new bike ride purchased to hold all 4 bikes including my husband's non-traditional shaped recumbant bike.  I was thrilled!  Finally we could once again go on family rides…and off we went.  Long story short is that to get my bike on the rack, the seat had to be lowered.  Doesn't sound problematic at first glance but here comes the issue - it took me two weeks of trial and error and even a visit to the bike shop for professional fitting to get my seat back into it's proper place. 

I know, you're thinking, "how hard can it be to get a bike seat into position?"  Well, let me tell you, when you ride a bike for 20+ miles several times a week, the position of the seat, and therefore the position of your legs and which muscles you are using, makes a HUGE difference.  Since I bike with the shoes that clip into the pedal, which do help keep the body in good position and uses less effort, where the seat goes affects the angle of my legs into the clips and thus affects how the different leg muscles are being used.

For two weeks my seat was a tad too low which put my body in a mis-aligned position which resulted in my left hamstring and calf muscles being overly tightened and giving me annoying pain in the leg and lower buttocks.  Not fun.  The good news is that this morning I think I stumbled on the magic bike seat place…and you can bet that I'm taking my sharpie marker and tape out to make sure I don't ever lose this spot again.  My ride was easier, my leg doesn't hurt, and I feel great for the most part. 

There is still some residual imbalance in my pelvis and my leg muscles from the ongoing, though short-term misalignment which I'm correcting with a chiropractic adjustment for the pelvis, followed up with a rolfing session to work out the rest of the muscle kinks.  And I'm continuing to stretch the tight muscles at home.  Since I know my body, I know these tools work for me.

Today's message can be applied to more aspects of life than just posture alignment.  If something doesn't feel right and you are getting symptoms cuing you to make a change, it might be that a subtle shift could be the answer.  What small changes are you needing to make to feel more at ease in your body and your life?

While a certain does of the competitive mindset might serve to motivate and inspire you in your personal goals, it can also create expectations and actions that don't fit with your true values or where you are in any given moment.  By definition, competition involves at least two parties and has an outcome where one is perceived as the winner and the others losers.  To me there is also an energy of external expectations which can create a space which causes you to stop listening to your own inner wisdom and what you need, and move into the place of what you think you SHOULD be doing.

Sometimes the competitive beast rears its head in an obvious way.  And, if you are being mindful, you can make a conscious decision how you want to interact within that space.  Other times, the competitive energy is more subtle and this is the area I think can be most tricky…it sneaks up on you before you realize it and you might find yourself already engaged in something that has pushed you beyond your best.

I experienced one of this subtle moments just yesterday on a bike ride with my normal biking neighbor, Tina.  Tina happens to be a stronger cyclist than I am.  And that's OK because cycling is a passion for her whereas for me it's an activity I enjoy a couple times a week and gives me a great workout outside.  I purposely ride with her because she is better and therefore I push myself  to ride faster and do more hills than I might on my own.  Overall this works fine.

Yet there are some days when my energy is out of sync with her energy above and beyond our natural cycling differences.  And yesterday was one of those days when I was feeling sluggish and tired.  I didn't fully realize this, however, when we started.  It wasn't until a good 5 miles into the 22 ride that I realized I just wasn't at my peak…but I kept pushing.  I didn't identify it as competition; rather I didn't want to slow her down or disturb her experience.  Several miles later my inner wisdom kicked in and I realized that I wasn't responsible for her experience and taking on that responsibility was coming at my own expense.

So I simply pulled back.  I didn't apologize for slowing her down.  I just stated that I was sluggish that day and if she wanted to go ahead to feel free to do so.  She did ride a bit ahead but I would eventually catch up on a down hill or a different spot.  It was nice to maintain the connection in some way, but I also would have been OK making my way back on my own had that happened.

So eventually I took care of my needs appropriately…but some of the damage was already done.  I exceeded a bit of my energy reserves and came home feeling overly tired.  Not a good way to start a work day in which I had 7 clients scheduled to see.  I made it through the day fine but ended up sleeping from 9 pm to almost 6:30 am this morning.  I also am going to take it easy today with slow stretching and quiet…in theory OK but it also interferes a bit with some tasks I needed to get done.

By not catching on in the initial moment, I then had to make corrections afterwards that had a greater cost to them.

So beware of competition in all forms.  It's not necessarily a bad thing…unless it pushes you beyond your best.

My husband and I started our own house project this past weekend…refinishing the back deck. It had been a couple years since we did this last and I had forgotten just how much time and work is involved. However, after just one day of moving, sweeping, and sanding, my aching muscles quickly reminded me that I needed to exercise some smart thinking and self care to come through this without feeling utterly exhausted and sustaining a muscle spasm. I hope this tips will help you stay in better balance and health in whatever your latest house project is.

1. Evaluate Whether You Want To Do The Job Yourself: more than money is to be considered when looking at whether to hire out for a job or DIY. Yes, finances do play a role as to what and how much you hire out, but also consider the emotional, physical, and mental toll on you and your family as well as what you would like to be doing instead. If you work 60 hours a week and dislike house projects, the cost to yourself of trying to DIY could be high due to your mental attitude. If you don't want to do it, this energy will come through and very often all sorts of things start to go wrong with the project. If you and your space don't do projects well together based on different styles, attempting one could add relationship tension. Look at the whole picture when examining costs so you don't end getting "spent" in more ways than just your pocket book.
2. Consider Hiring Out Some Of The Work: this doesn't have to mean break the bank, either. Look at what tasks require a lower level of skill and look around. For our deck project, I actually hired two fourteen year old neighborhood boys to do the sanding along the deck edges with a palm sander. There was a little instruction time as well as extra questions along the way, but for $7/hour they did a great job and saved me hours of work and toll on my body. So worth it! In this tight job market, you can likely find willing labor at cut rate prices across the board. Just don't try to cut too much…being fair to your workers will always produce better job results.
3. Pace Yourself: this is especially true of big jobs. If you throw all your energy into the game early on, you won't have the stamina for the long haul.
4. Take Stretch Breaks Often: different jobs are going to work different muscles but anything which you are doing repetitively is going to eventually catch up with you in the form of overly tight muscles and possibly even a muscle spasm. By breaking often and stretching things out, you give your muscles a chance to release some of the tension, which will hopefully decrease the chance of you going into a muscle crisis or sustaining an injury. If you don't know what stretches are needed, work with a physical or massage therapist, or personal trainer to get some advice.
5. Drink Lots Of Water: your muscles need hydration, especially when you are giving out lots of energy through physical labor and is absolutely key on hot days. Not only will you get fewer muscle cramps but you also will stay on the safe side of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
6. Know When To Stop: it can be very tempting to keep going because you can see the end, but BEWARE…this is the high danger point. Many injuries occur by being in a fatigued state and going too far. When your body and mind are tired, you are more apt to make mistakes plus you simply have less to give at that point. How do you know when you've reached the stopping point? Listen to your body. If you're feeling exhausted, you've already gone too far.
7. Have Some Post-Job Tension Remedies Ready: to take the edge off your day's labor, especially if you're starting again the next day, you want to have some tools ready. Yes, there are over-the-counter pain relievers but they can have side effects for some. Instead of or in addition to the pain relievers, try good old fashioned hot baths with Epsom Salts, a heating pad, rolling on tennis balls along the back and hips to create pressure point releases, or even get a professional massage. The investments you make in the moment can save you big in long term tolls.
8. Try Arnica cream or homeopathic pellets: arnica works with your body from the inside out to aid in soft tissue/muscular tension relief. In other words, they ease the aches and pain. For whole body aches and pains, use the homeopathic pellets which can be found at most health food stores and an employee should be able to tell you what dose to take. If you have a specific area of the body that requires extra TLF, use the cream on that area. The best cream I've found on the market is this cream put out by a company called True Botanica.
9. When To Use Hot Or Cold: you might be familiar with using a heating pad or ice pack but not know when to use what. Here's the basic guideline. Cold is used for reducing inflammation/swelling often with an acute injury; can provide pain relief; and can sometimes decrease a muscle spasm. When using cold you need a protective layer between the cold pack and your skin and time should be limited to no more than 20 minutes. There are also some health conditions which are contraindicated for cold so be sure to check with your health professional before using. Superficial topical heat has long been used for muscular and joint pain, promotes relaxation by lengthening the soft tissue parts, and promotes healing by bringing more blood, nutrients and immune support to the body part. With heat you need to watch out for burns and should not be used if you have any of these conditions: an acute injury of less than 2 days old, skin infection, inflammation, hemorrhaging (blood loss), or the inability in the body or part to receive sensory input which prevents you from getting feedback on what's happening to the tissues. For basic aches and pains without injury or spasm, heat is likely the best choice.
10. Stretch At The End Of The Day: stretching is what gives your muscles to message to let go of the work and tightness and come back into a relaxed, resting state. It is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Yoga provides a great full body approach so feel free to take a class or use a audio or video product. There are also good stretching books on the market or, again, work with a local professional to help you design a simple but effective routine that fits your needs.

With these ten tips and techniques packed in your tool box, you are now fully ready to tackle your next house project. Have fun and let me know how it works!

At a recent event I attended I went up to the presenter afterwards and said that I was very interested in what they were offering and could they call me the following day. The presenter replied " Absolutely.  We'll be in touch tomorrow". Three weeks later and nothing has happened!  What a waste of an opportunity.  I won't be investing any money with this company.

Most events, business meetings, seminars etc. where I've met some great people…guess what? 99% of them never follow up afterwards. Not even a 'Great to meet you' email or phone call.

If you're in business and you want to maximise your time and money, learn how to network effectively and follow up! It's so simple yet most people don't do it.

If you want to fast-track your results I'd recommend  "How to Profit From Networking"

Also make sure you follow these networking basics:

1.  Always have your business cards with you.

2.  Block time in your diary to follow up from every event within 24-48 hours.

3.  Add all business cards to your database and keep detailed records of all conversations and communications

4.  Have a way to stay in touch with people  ie. an ezine, newsletter, cards etc.

5.  Keep doing the basics… they work.

When Jack initially contacted me, he was at a point he felt like walking away from his business. He was working in the business at least 10 hours a day and it was consuming his life. There was no time left for him to do anything else (or so he thought).

After clarifying what Jack really wanted to achieve both in the business and personally, the first task I had him undertake was to fill in the special time sheets I have devised. He did this for 2 weeks.

We discovered that Jack was wasting at least two hours each day because of his lack of planning. He'd arrive at his office and whatever happened, happened.

It took some time but eventually Jack got into the habit of writing his 'to do' list for the following day before he finished work. He also used Friday afternoons to plan for the week ahead. And guess what? He achieved much more than he'd ever done before.

It's such a simple thing to do, yet how often do you stop doing the basics on a daily basis and then find your business and your life spiralling out of control?

Here's seven proven ways to have a productive day:

1. Write your 'to do' list at the end of each day.
2. Say 'no' to unscheduled interruptions.
3. If you get distracted easily (and who doesn't?), focus on one task for 10 minutes.
4. Keep your office free of clutter.
5. Constantly ask yourself 'is this the best use of my time?'
6. Do the worst thing first.
7. Schedule appointment times in your diary to get things done.

The Final Word

Action these tips consistently and you'll be amazed how much more you'll achieve each and every day.

With the end of the tax year fast approaching, it's With the end of the financial year fast approaching, now is an ideal time to focus on your personal affairs. I'm always amazed that so many business owners and entrepreneurs spend most of their time consumed by their business and totally neglect their personal affairs.

Many of my clients want to get their business organised yet often admit that their personal affairs are in chaos. They have no systems for handling this most important area. The household paperwork is disorganised… piled up in a corner of the house… somewhere. They have no idea where they spend their money and often have no plan for their financial future.

Sure they are busy in their business yet they can lose focus as to why they are doing what they do in the first place… and generally that is to make more money so they can have more choices in life. Whether that be to have more time with their family, make a difference in the world or to have a better lifestyle. Of course, you do want to enjoy what you do otherwise you won't be happy in the process.

If you do not organise your personal life, you may not have much of a future to look forward to. Avoid the excuses that you are too tired, don't have the time, and don't know how.

Here are several tips to get you started:

#1 Set up a filing system to store your paperwork.

#2 File your papers in categories: Bank, Car, Children, Home, Medical, Insurance, Investment, Tax, Utilities etc.

#3 Organise direct debits for regular bills.

#4 Read, sort and action your snail and e-mail daily. This will avoid a big build-up.

#5 Make a note in your diary when you need to remember to do things.

#6 Check your bank accounts daily or weekly via phone or the Internet to keep tabs on your money.

#7 Allocate a particular day and time each week to review your personal affairs.

#8 Get educated - attend seminars, read books and listen to information on wealth creation. Having knowledge will make it easier to make better decisions and provide you with the confidence to take action.

#9 Be pro-active and take responsibility. Don't rely on other people to advise you what to do. Do not wait for your accountant financial advisor or anyone else for that matter to come up with the solutions. You need to have the knowledge to ask the right questions so you can make the best decisions for you and your family.

THE FINAL WORD

If you take control of your personal affairs you will have peace of mind and know that you are making things happen. It's nearly six months since you probably made those New Year's Resolutions. Let me ask you; was one of those goals related to money in some way? Have you moved forward, stagnated or gone backwards?

You must learn how to manage your time effectively and get organised enabling you to focus on the highest priorities in your life, otherwise a year from now you could still be no further ahead. Some people make things happen, others watch things happen and others wonder what happened. What do you choose to do?

If you're not sure how to get your business organised so you free up your time, make more money and have a life, then I urge you to take action and invest in a proven step-by-step system that will get you big results. Get a copy of  "The Productivity and Profit Home Study System ^TM".

With four of us in the family who are all into health and fitness, we used to attend this particular practice.

The actual environment is lovely; however there was always a high turnover of physiotherapists. It's only a small practice yet it seemed that apart from the owner and one other physio who looked after us, the rest seemed to come and go fairly quickly.

I could easily see what the problem was…the owner. He lacked fundamental communication and business skills. Sure he knew his 'stuff' about how to help someone heal their body but he sorely missed basic skills in leadership and managing his own staff.

The funny thing was he had a 'Mission Statement' in his office stating "Our people are our number one asset".How often have you seen this in businesses around the country? Quite often the opposite is true. If Don's people were his no.1 asset then he should have got the message by now, that with the high turnover of staff, there was one common problem… himself!

Not only was this business owner sadly lacking in leadership, business and communication skills, it was reflected by the people he hired.  And it was no use trying offer advice to him… he thought he knew everything.

Due to his lack of knowledge and personal development, heaps of time was wasted and potential business lost.  Then there was the stress of having to work extra long hours whilst he was finding new employees.  This also caused uncertainty for his patients.  In fact we ended up leaving, because we were fed up with a number of things: hearing from the staff about how poorly they were treated by the owner, we were often seen late (their lack of time management) and how we were often treated in a rude manner by the receptionist.

From an employee's perspective, they often leave because they are unappreciated. They are taken for granted.  I knew that had happened in many instances in this particular business.  The owner had hired some great people but he himself was difficult to get along with and made it very uncomfortable. 

He was a perfectionist and if his people didn't get things 'right', he'd let them know…all the time. When I ask new clients how often they get together with their people on an individual or group basis to discuss their performance and get their perspective on how they find their jobs and how to improve things, a common response is "it's something I've been meaning to do". I'VE BEEN SO BUSY!!!"

The Final Word

To find and keep the right people requires many skills.  Get yourself organised and allocate regular time to continually work on this very important area of your business…

Now, if you're not sure what you need to do to attract and retain the right people so you boost your productivity and profits, then I urge you to take action and invest in a proven step-by-step system that will get you big results.  Get a copy of "The Productivity and Profit Home Study System™" .  It includes everything you need to know to free up your time, organise your systems and master your marketing so you make much more money and get a life!

The coach I'm currently working with has a multi-million dollar business and invests thousands of dollars a year to learn more so she can earn more and have the time to do what she enjoys doing.

For your business to be better, you need to be better, and you don't get better by doing nothing! To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join a coaching program, go along to seminars where you meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.

There's no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of where you are located events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as on-line. Saying you have 'no money' or 'no time' are poor excuses.

For many business owners they spend their whole lives using these excuses and going nowhere. Don't focus on where you are now, but where you want to be. You'll find the money and the time if you seriously want to change.

Your ongoing learning (and consistent implementation) can take you from struggling along to soaring high in all areas of your life. Remember your New Year resolutions to make changes in your business and your life? Are you getting the results you wanted? Is your business more profitable? Do you have more free time? Is the quality of your life improving?

If you answered 'yes,' then take a look at why that is. What have you been doing to get these results and keep doing what's working. And if you're not moving ahead, seriously look at why that is and do something different.
When's the last time you read a book, listened to a CD, got coached or attended a seminar to learn how to do things better?

The Final Word

The people I know who are getting great results in their business and personal lives are always learning, growing and implementing.There's a saying that 'if you're green you're growing, if you're ripe your rotten." Which one are you?

Now, if you're not sure what you need to accelerate your learning and accelerate your earning, then I urge you to take action and invest in a proven step-by-step system that will get you big results.
