Over the last three days it has been very hot here (New York City). Temperatures soared to 96+ degrees with a heat index over 100 degrees. I was long overdue for putting all the cold weather clothing away. In the process of completing this task, I realized there were many pieces of clothing I had not worn and others I had worn repeatedly. You know what I mean. Like the comfortable shoes we continue to wear long after ‘they’ve seen their days’.
I realized that wearing the same clothing was not so much about comfort as it was about choice. It was easier to the wear the same outfits because I didn’t have to make a choice. I can choose wellness but have great difficulty in choosing when I have, what I call, too many choices. My friends know that I become stressed, may develop a headache, become overwhelmed and will not shop in a store where I have to look through racks and racks of clothing.
Listen to Barry Schwartz as he addresses the topic of too many choices with great clarity here…Paradox of Choice.
Women in general and women business owners are constantly making choices….’work eight, sixteen or four-hour days or multi-task with the idea of accomplishing more. Yet, can’t recall half of what someone said because she was doing three things at once. Do you recognize the dis-stress being created by too many choices? Are you choosing wellness as a lifestyle? How are choices affecting your personal life, your health and your business? The benefits of choosing a wellness lifestyle include improvement in personal health and increased financial health and prosperity!

National Wear Red Day
A heart-saving story about women and heart disease-sraight from a survivor. Brought to you by the American heart Association and Go Red for Women. Today’s message is from Essence Harris, who learned at the age of 30 that two of the three major arteries in her heart were more than 90 percent blocked.
If anybody seemed to be at low risk for heart disease, it was me. In addition to my job in human resources, I worked part-time as a personal trainer and took tennis lessons for fun. I had no excess body fat and was in supberb aerobic condition. But when I started feeling lightheaded and gettin hear palpitations and chest pain, I knew something was wrong. If you’re physically inactive, you’re much more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. My active lifestyle didn’t keep me from getting heart disease, but I believe it’s played a big part in helping me regain my health, Even if you don’t love exercise as much as I do, you can still love your heart by getting active:
Enjoy some alone time by taking a short walk before breakfast, after dinner, or both.~Put down your car keys and walk or bike to the corner store.~Pace while talking on the telephone and stand while writing e-mails.~take the dog for a walk or run-you’ll both benefit!
Please share this lifesaving message with at least one other woman today. Get your heart pumping! Support heart disease research and prevention efforts on
