Summertime is a good time for lifestyle changes

Make lifestyle changes easy

Nowadays you can buy any food at any time of the year. Food is transported all around the globe.  Earlier we had only a narrow supply of fruits and vegetables in the wintertime in Sweden but with today’s good possibilities for shipping we have a variety also in the winter.  In the summer time however we have an abundance of fresh vegetables, berries and fruits also up north. Use that situation to change your eating habits. Lifestyle changes should be made easy to implement.

Everybody need some time off!

Summer vacation coming up and people start planning their vacation. People having an employment have a specified amount of days for vacation. In Sweden it is very generous, the law says 25 days, some have even more. This goes for the bosses too. But I know many of them don´t take any time off at all. They don´t trust people to handle the company if they would leave for a week or two.  They don´t know how to delegate. It is a good way to get burnt out if you don´t take some time off. Are you ready to pay the prize?

Eat right and be a successful leader

How your eating habits master your energy3 colors a day

Your eating habits run your life. Agree? This subject is complicated; it is not just a question of nourishment and energy, but also a subject of feelings and memories.
