Health Benefits of Getting Enough Sleep- Minutes with Jay

There are many health benefits of getting enough sleep. I hinted on how sleep can help you as well as tips on increasing happiness in my last post, you can check it here.

At different levels of sleep you will get different benefits. In the first level not much really happen besides eye twitching.

In the second level, your blood pressure drops and your heart rests which helps the cardiovascular system.

Later on you get the benefits of growth hormones being released and muscles being rebuilt. That means that if you are trying to get bigger biceps, traps, chesticles (aka chest muscles)…you gotta sleep. Also, for my ladies that are trying to lose weight or get cut, this is important for you too!

While we are on the subject of weight, sleep regulates your appetite. Ever stayed up too late and wanted to eat the house down or didn’t feel hungry at your normal time skipping breakfast maybe even lunch? This is due to a hiccup in your sleeping pattern.

Just something to think about!

Increasing Your Happiness- 2 Easy Ways- Minutes with Jay

Increasing your happiness does not have to be hard. There are easy ways to gain more energy and just be overall happier.

One way is through real meditation. I get into the definition on this in my video. I am not talking about sitting in a room humming for hours on end or chanting weird tribal bird sounds with a group of strangers.

The second way is to get more sleep. Sleep repairs a lot of what you lose or give out during the day.

These are actionable, down to earth ways. If you haven’t watched the video, go for it! The video talks about these aspects in a little more detail.

Also, stayed tuned for my video tomorrow for even more benefits of sleep on your health.

Learning through problems- The purpose of problems

The purpose of your problems hits you in a few different levels. Level 1 is the introduction of direction. You are lead down a path that you normally would not choose. Forced to take action. Level 2 is the test. The test is designed to …

Learning through problems

Learning through problems is a tough assignment. Many situations we encounter help to sidetrack us from purpose.

Sometimes we just don’t understand our situations or feel that somehow this is only happening to us. BUT a lack of understanding should not stop your progress or growth.

Consider that whatever you are facing is making and will make you stronger. Cliche? Yes. Truth? Oh yea. Just like weights, the heavier your problems get, the stronger you become.

That strength will allow you to eventually pick up more/do more/help lift someone else up….if you let it.

You cannot be a resource to anyone if you are not strong yourself. There is so much we can learn from what happens to us.

Stay tuned for my post tomorrow that will discuss what we can actually learn. I’m thinking I will cover 3 or more points about the purpose of problems.

Best Leadership Traits- Part 3

In part 3 of the best leadership traits to have, let’s discuss 5 virtues of strategic leadership. Strategic leadership is being able to influence others to make decisions for the benefit of the team or group. I believe that this list in addition to the …

Thinking your way better life- Better Pay

Thinking your way to a better life and better pay is possible.

I assume that if you are reading this that you are a human being (I hope so) and this gives you an advantage.

The advantage is to rationalize and create new ideas. Animals have to rely on instinct to survive and will never be anything more than what they currently are.

You on the other hand can develop and change your situation. Use the free resources that are at your fingertips to get moving.

Go to the library if nothing else for Pete’s sake and pick up a few books on whatever area you are trying to improve.

Just last night, I popped into the library and snagged a copy of The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham.

Why?

Because I want to learn more on investment strategy and this book comes recommended by Warren Buffett. Buffett is possibly the greatest investor of all time!

It was a no brainer. Getting the knowledge is free.

There are no excuses to have less than what you want.

What resources can you make use of right away?

Helping others succeed creates your own success- One Minute with Jay

Help others succeed if you want to get something out of the deal. This may seem selfish. But when you really think about it….it isn’t selfish at all.

We are all co-dependent on each other to survive.

Teams are created to ensure the survival of an idea or mission. That’s why businesses have so many execs, managers, supervisors, secretaries etc. A team is necessary.

And we all want to win in some shape or form. So if you can help someone else win you can become a winner.

Think about business again as the perfect example. The businesses that thrive are the ones that provide the most value.
Value is given, we pay cash, and the business increases revenue.

If you want success provide more value to more people.

How can you provide value? Leave a comment below and let me know.

What are the best leadership traits to have? We will discuss below. You do not have to be bananas to be a leader or some crazy fortune 500 CEO. You are a leader right now and can lead from where you are. The points below are easy to work on.

1. First & foremost is vision.

A leader has a clearly stated mission that is easy to state in a few sentences or less. Take a look at Xerox’s mission: “Our strategic intent is to help people find better ways to do great work–by constantly leading in document technologies, products and services that improve our customers’ work processes and business results.”

If you work for Xerox it’s pretty clear why you are there and what you are contributing to. You become easier to follow if people know the reason behind their work and how they play a role in executing the vision.

2. All will drive.

Great leaders have tremendous drive that powers their will to succeed. All of their will is used to succeed even when they struggle. There is a definiteness of purpose. Anyone can have this by having and maintaining a list of specific goals. Keeping the goals in mind creates self motivation to achieve them.

3. Outlook on future.

The future always looks bright. You’ll notice that some of the best leaders will figure out how to turn a disadvantage into a strength. If you take a look at a NBA player like Kobe, you get to see this first hand during the period he played with one hand: pic.twitter.com/HgEde5yXCn. Because leaders like him believe that they will win no matter the circumstance.

4. Unshakability (Un-Shake-Uh-Bill-Luh-Tee).

When you are a leader there is always something that can be a source of aggravation. This is especially true if you are trying to spark change. Being even kneel and have a certain unshakability is what keeps you from being easily pushed off course. Many leaders learn to control their immediate reactions. Focusing on solutions rather than the problem itself is one way to avoid allowing your emotions get the best of you.

5. Presentation Ability.

You do not have to be a great Martin Luther King like orator. But you will need confidence to persuade and convey your messages to group of people. If you have struggle in this area joining a group like toastmasters can help you get practice. Above all else remember to be yourself. Even one the co-founders of Nike, Phil Knight has openly talked about how much he hates public speaking. But he does it anyway despite how he feels and he does it his own way.

6. Intense Concentration.

Leaders can concentrate and work intensely on their goals. This requires removing distractions. Personally when it is time to work on a project I remove anything from my desk that can cause my mind to wander: computer if not needed, phone, clicky pens, pictures of my family (I know, that’s weird. But I will use anything to procrastinate or day dream so the pics have to go too.).

Stay tuned for part 2.

Let me know if you have any of these traits….oh and as a reminder please add me to your email contacts/list…this is to keep my weekly posts from the evil spam folder.

When are you considered wealthy?- What is true wealth?- One Minute with Jay

When are you considered wealthy? What is true wealth?

Wealth goes beyond what you have in your pocket. If you are wealthy from a holistic perspective then your entire person is prosperous.

This has to do with your workout routine. How often do you work out? Are you putting the right things into your body?

Do you have a good eating habits? Or are you just eating whatever, whenever, however?

Talk to me about your personality and your heart. Can you take direction? Are you able to take constructive criticism and turn it into something fruitful? Would your closest friends consider you to be the embodiment of love?

Being in love is displaying an affection towards everyone who you interact with even the people you don’t like!

Only after we take a look at the whole person can we discuss what’s in your wallet.

Tell me what is the wealth to you?
