Fall Breeze & Autumn LeavesAt this point, fall is in full swing. We’re embracing the cool breeze on

our cheeks as we watch the leaves fall and float around us. Their marigold, camel and terracotta colors are awe-inspiring. The beauty in nature is both life-giving and life-affirming and it becomes increasingly clear how important it is to live in the present moment. This proves motivating, and many people are prone to examine their inner lives this time of year, making positive changes internally like those they’re observing firsthand externally during fall.

There are several common themes characteristic of autumn that might also affect a person’s desire to engage in self-reflection this month.

Balance: When the autumnal equinox occurs, day and night are evenly split. There’s harmony and balance. As humans, we long to experience peace and harmony within ourselves and with the world.

Freedom: The cycle of life, death and rebirth in nature shows us how easy it is to let go of the past and look forward to a season of new growth.

Uncertainty: The mystery that lies within each new day is evidenced by the change we’re observing around us. Acceptance of the unknown variables allows us to live fuller lives.

Do any of these themes speak to you? What feelings does fall evoke in you?

What’s the difference between a fable and a fairy tale? Both are popular creative works of fiction. Both use exaggeration and contain morally questionable yet intriguing characters. However, each serves a different purpose. Fables are generally designed to be exemplars and a means through which a lesson may be learned, while fairy tales may or may not provide an overall positive message.

For instance, it’s easy to determine the moral of the story when reading any of the works residing in the famed “Aesop’s Fables,” such as the “Tortoise and the Hare” or the “The Fox and the Weasel.” Prominent themes of equality, fairness and friendship are displayed throughout those stories. Fairy tales such as “Red Riding Hood,” however, provide more inconspicuous lessons and evoke emotions like fear in children.

Regardless of genre, an abundance of stories with positive moral implications are available to read with your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We all know the best diet is one comprised of lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, whole grains and a little low-fat dairy. “Fat” most definitely isn’t included on that list. In its generic, most common form, fat is a very bad thing. It causes heart disease, raises blood pressure, increases LDL, or bad cholesterol, and lowers HDL, or good cholesterol. These are the results of eating trans fat and saturated fat. But those aren’t the only types of fat.

There’s a little more to it than that. Here’s the thing: The body actually needs fat to function effectively, just not the fat listed above. It needs unsaturated fats, including both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, to keep the engines running smoothly, so to speak. They are crucial to the proper absorption of vitamins, as well as the function of the nervous system. And when eaten in the proper amounts, actually lower the chances of having heart disease. Plus, they fend off plaque buildup in arteries, increase good

cholesterol, lower bad cholesterol, elevate brain function and mood, as well as heighten the immune system’s combative properties. Sounds like multiple benefits are to be gained from good fats, doesn’t it?

Nutrition experts say that 25 to 30 percent of one’s daily calories should come from the “good fats.” Here are some examples of good monounsaturated fat: almonds, olives, olive oil, avocados, smooth peanut butter, unsalted sunflower seeds and cashews. Good polyunsaturated fats include foods heavy in omega-3s, such as flaxseed, herring, walnuts, tofu, canola oil, salmon and mackerel. Foods heavy in bad fats, including trans or saturated fat include cookies, margarine, fries, cakes, whole milk, cream, donuts, crackers and so much more. So kick the processed foods out the door and opt for some of the better options listed above. Your heart will appreciate it, and so will the rest of your body!

Dates to Celebrate

How does it make you feel when someone smiles at you? Do you smile back? Does your heart become a little lighter? Do you feel a little freer? Does your day improve, if it wasn’t already spectacular? Oh, the power of the smile. The impact one feels after giving or receiving a look of happiness is so hard to explain. But if you stop and think about it, you know exactly what this means. A smile can be indicative of a range of emotions: pleasure, gratitude, glee, acknowledgment, engagement, forgiveness. The list is endless. And fortunately, so are the benefits.

Several Mayo Clinic reports, as well as numerous other psychological research studies, show that smiling and laughter have proven to decrease stress levels, lower blood pressure, elevate mood, strengthen relationships through healthier communication, give the immune system a nice bump and act as a natural pain relief mechanism, among other benefits. So why not smile more? If you’re not really

the smiling kind, consider working those mouth muscles on World Smile Day®! The happiest of occasions known as World Smile Day® occurs the first Friday in October, and has been an annual celebration since 1999. If you need a reason to show those pearly whites, just do it on October 5. The fact that it is World Smile Day® should be reason enough!

Avoid the Bad Habits of Self-Defeating People

Are you holding yourself back from success in your career? If you think so, then according to an online survey of 972 people conducted by corporate trainer VitalSmarts, you’re not alone. A whopping 97 percent of those participating in the survey identified at least one career-limiting habit that prevents them from reaching their full potential at work.

The top five bad habits:• Unreliability• The “It’s not my job” syndrome • Procrastination

• Resistance to change• Negative attitude

In addition, survey participants

noted other behaviors limiting their careers, including disrespect, short-term focus, selfishness, passive/aggressive tendencies and avoidance of risk.

Don’t despair. You can overcome your self-sabotage with this advice:

• Create a personal motivation statement. Think about where you want to go in your career and what you want to accomplish. Visualizing your goal will help you overcome your tendency to slip into one of these self-defeating practices.

• Seek professional development. Look for training programs, conferences and books that will help you learn the skills you need. Invest in these yourself if your employer won’t pay for them.

• Associate with positive role models. Don’t hang out with people who share your bad habits. Seek out the company of high achievers whose attitudes and strengths you can learn to emulate.

• Get a mentor. An experienced pro can help you learn how to make better decisions about your work and career.

Define Success on your own terms, Achieve it by your own rules,

and build a life you’re proud to Live.

- Anne Sweeney

Bringing People to the Center

Shortly after being forced out of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs bought a small computer manufacturer named Pixar. In 2000, he relocated the company to an abandoned factory. The original plan called for three buildings with separate offices for computer scientists, animators and the Pixar executives.

Jobs immediately scrapped it. Instead of three buildings, he wanted a single vast space with an atrium at its center.

As Pixar’s Ed Catmull explains, “The philosophy behind this design is that it’s good to put the most important function at the heart of the building. Well, what’s our most important function? It’s the interaction of our employees. That’s why Steve put a big empty space there. He wanted to create an open area for people to always be talking to each other.”

Jobs saw separated offices as a design problem. He shifted the mailboxes to the atrium, then moved the meeting rooms, cafeteria, coffee bar and gift shop to the center of the building. “The atrium initially might seem like a waste of space,” says director Brad Bird. “But Steve realized that when people run into each other, when they make eye contact, things happen.”

Jobs insisted that the best creations occurred when people from disparate fields were connected, especially in an age of intellectual fragmentation.

Odd Jobs of Future Famous Writers

Few great authors spring up overnight. Most work odd jobs while they struggle to create. The Literacy Site shares these stories of the famous before they became famous: • Langston Hughes. The would-be poet worked as a busboy

at a prestigious Washington, D.C., hotel. One day the well-known poet Vachel Lindsay came to lunch, and Hughes worked up enough courage to show her some of his poems. Lindsay was impressed by his talent, which led to him being discovered and going on to lead the Harlem Renaissance.

• Kurt Vonnegut. The future author of Slaughterhouse-5 and other classics owned the first Saab dealership in the U.S. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army during the World War II, which had a major impact on his later writing.

• J.D. Salinger. Before breaking onto the literary scene, the author of The Catcher in the Rye and other classics worked as entertainment director on a Swedish cruise ship.
