Are You Suffering from Spiritual Inertia? By Janice Taylor NABBW’s Expert on Weight Loss and Hypnotism Have you ever wondered how it is that after decades of time-saving inventions and new technologies that “free time” has almost disappeared from our culture? “Lost time is never found again.” — Benjamin Franklin Are we time-poor, insolvent, bankrupt?

May 10th, 2011

Hold on! Your Core is More Than You Think By Lisa Byrne, B.S Exercise Sciences  |  Certified Pilates Instructor NABBW’s Boomer Women\’s Fitness Expert It’s a hard to teach someone how to hold onto themselves.

Before you move next time try this: Stop, look, and listen to your body, your mind, and your task. Do you brace yourself first? Yes, I\’m talking even if it is taking your cereal bowl to the kitchen table. Think... Read More

The Value of Mistakes and Imperfections By Janice Taylor NABBW’s Expert on Weight Loss and Hypnotism In emails from Tushkateers (members of the Kick in the Tush Club) and various coaching conversations that I\’ve had with a number of my one-on-one coaching clients, the concepts of “normal” and “perfect” have repeatedly surfaced.

She thought by engaging in a conversation with the bartender she’d be... Read More
