How to Break the Spillover Habit - Mike CohnFor the past two weeks, I've been writing about the problem of habitual spillover—when a team routinely rolls over unfinished work from sprint to sprint.So far, we've talked about why spillover happens, and why it's a problem, plus I've given steps to start a reduction in your team's spillovers.This week, I want to share two ways to break your team's rollover habit. Sometimes teams miss their goals. That's OK. Sometimes teams miss when they aim high and fall a little short. Don't try to fix those teams—celebrate their effort.Other times teams miss because they just hit a run of bad luck for a handful of sprints. Again, no need to intervene there. (Next week, I'll share what to do with the unfinished work that results from either of these first two scenarios.)Most often, though, teams miss because they are overly optimistic about what they can achieve. They plan each sprint to be a best-case scenario.If you think that could be your team, in your next sprint planning meetings try asking questions like these: What could go wrong that could cause the team to miss its goal?What has to go right to achieve this goal? These questions can help a team see any risky assumptions they're making about how easy the planned work will be.  As most of us who made New Year's resolutions at the beginning of 2025 have re-discovered by now, old habits die hard. Sometimes you have to take drastic action to realize lasting results, and to succeed with agile.Curb Their Enthusiasm   Drastically Under-commitIf these kinds of questions don't help the team make more realistic guesses about what they can accomplish, you might have to resort to drastically reducing what the team commits to achieving.At the next sprint planning, encourage your team to truly under-commit. I'm not talking about cutting the sprint goal by some small amount, like 10–20%. I'm saying you limit team members to committing to only 50% of what they believe they can accomplish.The team may push back on this. They are used to filling up their sprint and will be optimistic that they can get a lot more done than the items they've chosen. Don't give in.When team members push back, remind them that if they run out of work to do, they can always bring more in. But hold firm that no work will come in until the sprint goal is achieved and all the work planned into the sprint is complete.(You'll likely need to have a talk with the product owner prior to sprint planning so they too can be prepared to hear that the team is bringing only a few items into the sprint.)The goal in under-committing is to let the team feel what it's like to add work into a sprint rather than always needing to drop work.After they feel this, they'll likely want to feel it again.Encourage them to plan a bit more work into the next few sprints until they get close to missing their goals and rolling over again. Incorporate the enthusiasm-curbing questions as needed.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

The world needs emotional intelligence. We need emotional intelligence. Our students need emotional intelligence. Intellectual knowledge is great, but by itself, it wreaks havoc, as without emotional depth and experiences, we're not able to engage in meaningful conversations, discussions, learning, and problem solving. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about why social-emotional learning matters just as much as academics. The intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence, EQ and IQ, and how the two of them work together to help students learn and become well rounded adults who are able to communicate productively in any situation.Show Notes:Episode 149 - Why Social-Emotional Learning Matters Just as Much as AcademicsSimply Ieva Offers:EL Newcomer Teaching Compass for grades 6-12 - curriculum guide created using backward design PLUS a year-long scope and sequence!1:1 EL Teacher Clarity Power-Up SessionIf you find value in The ESL Teaching Podcast and want to support the time, effort, and costs that go into bringing you these episodes each week, consider making a small donation—whatever feels right for you.

Send us a textHelp me improve my podcast content by answering a few questionsTake the Health Type QuizResilience is crucial as we age, especially when it comes to maintaining muscle, joint, and bone health. In this episode, Dr. Bobby DuBois discusses how building physical reserves early on can help withstand inevitable changes and setbacks as we get older. Just like investing in an IRA, the earlier you start building your physical resilience, the better prepared you'll be for the challenges of aging.Dr. Bobby shares insights from his interview with Karen, who experienced a rapid decline in strength after a period of inactivity. Despite previous success with weight loss and fitness, Karen found herself struggling to lift groceries after weeks of illness and time away from the gym. Her story highlights the importance of maintaining muscle mass and staying active, even after setbacks.Key Points:The Impact of Inactivity: As we age, muscle loss accelerates. We can lose 1–2% of muscle mass per year after age 30, and inactivity can drastically speed up this decline. Strength exercises, even when started later in life, can still yield significant gains (study).Muscle Memory and Recovery: Muscle memory helps regain lost strength more rapidly than building it from scratch, but the recovery time lengthens with age. Karen's experience reinforces the importance of staying consistent, even when life gets in the way.Protecting Joints: Joint cartilage thins with age, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. Contrary to popular belief, regular running does not inherently damage joints. However, previous injuries significantly raise the risk of osteoarthritis (study).Bone Health Maintenance: Bone density peaks around age 25 and gradually declines, especially after age 50. Engaging in weight-bearing and high-impact exercises can help preserve bone density. Heavy resistance training is especially beneficial for maintaining bone strength (study).Supplementing won't solve the problem:  Calcium/Vitamin D supplements don't seem to solve the problem. Practical Tips for Resilience:Keep your protein intake between 0.5 to 0.75 grams per pound of body weight to support muscle maintenance.Incorporate cross-training activities during periods of injury or illness to maintain fitness.Focus on exercises that build both muscle and bone density, such as resistance training and weight-bearing movements.Takeaways:Aging is inevitable, but weakness isn't. Building resilience through consistent exercise and strength training is crucial to maintaining independence and quality of life.Don't give up after setbacks—muscle memory and consistent effort can help you regain lost strength.Prioritize activities that strengthen both muscles and bones to minimize the impact of inactivity and age-related decline.Live long and well by staying resilient and proactive. Remember to keep moving, invest in your muscle and bone health, and stay committed to your fitness journey. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with others and rate the show!

In this enlightening episode of the Engineering Our Future Podcast, my co-host Nicolai Oliden and I explore the science and methodology behind effective morning routines, with a special focus on how they can enhance productivity and mental clarity for engineering professionals.Our Morning RoutinesNicolai starts his day early with his wife, dedicating 15 minutes to coffee and planning. He systematically reviews his daily objectives, showing how even busy engineers can maintain effective morning practices. I think this is crucial step that I often miss - taking 5 minutes to plan.As for me, I start my day at 4 AM. My routine focuses on two main components: physical activity in the form of a 60-minute workout, followed by mental preparation through reading and prayer. This approach keeps both my body and mind operating at peak efficiency.We draw inspiration from James Clear's "Atomic Habits" to discuss habit formation. Nicolai and I emphasize the importance of "trigger events" - like having a glass of water as the first action of the day. We've developed what we call "recursive habit stacking," where each completed action naturally leads to the next, creating a smooth flow of productive behaviors."A thoughtful exploration of how habit formation and preparation can lead to success, both personally and professionally."Making It WorkLike any good engineering solution, we understand that morning routines need flexibility. We discuss how to handle various disruptions, from unexpected work calls to family commitments, while maintaining the core elements of the routine.I've found that documenting my routine helps tremendously with consistency. For example, I time-block specific activities (morning hydration, meditation) and regularly review and optimize this schedule. This systematic approach allows for continuous improvement, much like how we refine our engineering processes.Our methodology builds upon Hal Elrod's "The Miracle Morning" framework, which we've adapted specifically for engineering professionals. We focus on measurable outcomes and continuous improvement, applying the same analytical mindset we use in our engineering work.Through our discussion, we emphasize that successful morning routines need proper preparation, including evening setup and strategic planning. We've designed our approach to be both robust and flexible, making it suitable for engineers across different disciplines and work schedules.Timeline (YouTube Chapters) * 00:00:00 - Introduction* 00:00:57 - Nicolai's Current Morning Routine* 00:02:18 - Luis's Current Morning Routine* 00:07:13 - Benefits of Morning Routines* 00:09:51 - Tips for Starting a Routine* 00:11:28 - Using Prompts and Habit Stacking* 00:15:25 - Handling Disruptions* 00:17:01 - Writing Down Your Routine* 00:20:05 - The Miracle Morning Book* 00:23:11 - Closing RemarksLessons and Takeaways* Start your day with a clear plan by dedicating 5-15 minutes each morning to reviewing your goals and objectives.* Incorporate physical activity and mental preparation into your morning routine to boost productivity and mental clarity.* Use "trigger events" and habit stacking to create a seamless flow of productive actions every morning.* Document and time-block your morning routine to ensure consistency and allow for continuous improvement.* Prepare the night before by setting up your environment and planning strategically to make your mornings more effective.Links and References* Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod* Atomic Habits by James Clear Get full access to Engineering our Future at engineeringourfuture.substack.com/subscribe

The ancient story of Naaman washing in the Jordan River provides a powerful metaphor for our Lenten journey and approach to confession.We're approaching the halfway mark of Lent, and today's reflection invites us into a deeper understanding of the Sacrament of Penance through the lens of Naaman's healing. This Syrian general, accustomed to honor and recognition, initially rejected the prophet's simple instruction to wash in the Jordan seven times. His indignation mirrors our own resistance to spiritual practices that seem too humble to bring transformation. Yet when he finally submitted, complete healing followed.This narrative brilliantly illuminates how we should approach confession – not with reluctance or skepticism, but with the faith St. John Vianney describes as recognizing "God present in the priest," the hope that believes in God's pardoning grace, and the charity that places in our hearts regret for having offended divine love. The daily examination of conscience becomes our practical tool for preparation, helping us identify patterns that reveal the shape of our soul and highlighting areas needing correction.As St. Padre Pio reminds us, the Lord awaits us with "infinite tenderness" in the Sacrament of Penance. If your Lenten practices have faltered, now is the perfect moment to renew your commitment. Incorporate a nightly examination into your routine, work against your predominant fault, and approach confession with humility. The healing waters of God's mercy are waiting – will you step in?Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

The podcast that helps data scientists transform their technical expertise into tangible business value, career autonomy, and financial reward. I’m Dr. Genevieve Hayes, and I’m here with Ben Johnson, CEO and founder of Particle 41 to turbocharge your data science career in less time than it takes to run a simple query.[00:00:29] In today’s episode, we’re going to be discussing techniques from software development that data scientists can use to increase their productivity and efficiency. Welcome back, Ben.[00:00:42] Ben Johnson: Hey, nice to be here.[00:00:44] Dr Genevieve Hayes: As long time listeners of this show are probably already aware, before becoming a data scientist, my background was as an actuary and statistician.[00:00:53] And then when I decided to make the move to data science, I did a master’s in computer science to upskill on machine learning and AI. And one of the things I loved most about my master’s was that my classmates were predominantly software developers and engineers. And I found that Just by being in the same classes as them and associating with them on the class online forums, I learned just as much, if not more, about what it takes to be an effective data scientist as I did from the lectures themselves.[00:01:32] And this is because the software engineers had a very different perspective on data problem solving from what I’d developed as a statistician and actuary. Ben, in addition to being a serial entrepreneur, you yourself are a software developer with over 20 years of experience. In that time, you must have come across a whole range of techniques for boosting your productivity and efficiency as a developer.[00:02:02] Are there any techniques among those that, you’re surprised, data scientists don’t also use?[00:02:09] Ben Johnson: It kind of swirls together. So focus is a currency as kind of the tagline here. So the book, the one thing has been really inspirational for me. And I’m a bullet journaler. And so I kind of take my 90 day goals and break them down into months and then the weeks, you know,[00:02:26] what’s the one thing or the finer sets of things? I find a lot of digital professionals, including data scientists are kind of multitasking and we’ve kind of even created This kind of interruption culture in the way that we work. So I find it interesting when data scientists don’t have like the Kanban board or the flow of work and they’re just kind of operating by slack messages and emails.[00:02:50] And I think then you have Low currency of focus like you’re poor in focus. And so the overarching thing here is to be rich in focus. And that means creating systems and work environment and a personal organization strategy. That makes you richer in focus.[00:03:07] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And how would you go about doing that?[00:03:09] Ben Johnson: So I think it starts with like some level of personal ceremony.[00:03:14] And some adherence to routine. So it may seem confining, but I actually find it gives me a lot of freedom. So spend a lot of time around the quarter. Thinking like, what do I want to accomplish in the next 90 days and documenting that and then breaking that out in a month and not just doing it professionally, but doing it personally as well.[00:03:34] So that then when I go to my week, I’ve kind of planned my week. I know what my focuses are for at least some of the time. I don’t like knock it all down in stone. I leave some flex time in there for. Emails and slack messages, but I definitely know what needs to be true by the end of the week for me to feel accomplished and confident.[00:03:57] And in the end, the biggest enemy is the imposter syndrome, right? So I have to have to put challenges in front of me that I’m accomplishing. Because the last thing I want anybody on my team to feel is that imposter syndrome. And the only way we were get through that is by. Proving to ourselves that we can accomplish the goals that we put in front of ourselves.[00:04:19] Dr Genevieve Hayes: What you’ve described there is very similar to the approach that I take in my work. I read Cal Newport’s deep work about, three years ago. Yeah, and one of the things I find, you know, as a data scientist, often I do have multiple projects on the go. But I try and work in deep work blocks, so I schedule three two hour blocks per day, and I actually have a kitchen timer, and for that two hour block, I will only work on one particular task, and even if I’m working on multiple topics within a day.[00:04:55] I try and only have one task per day, but just having those two hour focus blocks really helps me to accomplish a lot.[00:05:03] Ben Johnson: Yeah, I think so. And what you’re talking about there is this time compression and I think time compression is very, very powerful. And I would say most people don’t. Incorporate an element of time compression, like your timer is time compression and incorporate environment. We kind of used to be.[00:05:23] We planned the year and we give very little cadence to the quarter and the month. And then we kind of realized. You know, Q3 we’re falling behind and then that would make for these awful Q4 experiences, right? People working right up into the last day of the year kind of thing. I think we’re seeing that improve and I think time compression, EOS is really big on the quarterly planning, the monthly planning.[00:05:50] And then you mentioned like the Pomodoro technique. These things are getting really popular, but those things are awarded by an increase. Like when you’re rich in focus, those things happen, right? Or you do those things to become more rich in focus.[00:06:06] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And my experience is the days when I do manage to have those focus blocks, I’m happier at the end of the day.[00:06:12] Ben Johnson: Yep. Yeah, because you created a scoreboard and you won the day, right? You know, you won the day. Yeah. In my bullet journal, I have a habit tracker and I put so many habits on there that if I do about half of them, like I’m good, and that works for me, you know, kind of always be solving.[00:06:28] You know salespeople, they always be closing and I’m kind of like always be doing something to make my life better, even if it’s just like drinking water, right? Remembering to drink water that’s a thing on my tracker.[00:06:42] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And that’s a wrap for today’s Value Boost. But if you want more insights from Ben, you’re in luck. We’ve got a longer episode with Ben where we discuss strategies for accelerating your data science impact and results. And it’s packed with no nonsense advice for turning your data skills into serious clout, cash, and career freedom.[00:07:04] You can find it now, wherever you found this episode, or at your favorite podcast platform. Well, thank you for joining me again, Ben.[00:07:12] Ben Johnson: Oh, my pleasure.[00:07:14] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And for those in the audience, thanks for listening.

This is Kiera and today I just want to ask you, do you really want a happier and more engaged team? Do you want to be able to know that they're going to be incredible with you? I do believe that celebrations are the secret weapon to building a positive culture. And today is a special day because it's Dental A Team's podcast fifth birthday. And so I thought it was just such a special time. You guys, this podcast has been running for so long. I am so grateful for you for being a part of it. And I just thought, hey,   Well, one of the greatest things is while we're celebrating Dental A Teams podcast birthday, let's teach you the secret weapon to building that positive, effective team culture. So you guys, the reality is when we acknowledge milestones, when we acknowledge celebrations, when we acknowledge things that our team is doing well, what that does is it puts our focus on the things we actually want our team to do. We put a focus on them as a human being. We put our focus on them actually being more of what we want them to become. And so what that does is it actually improves morale.   increases retention and that ultimately equals overall productivity. What's really awesome about this is people are looking for like, how do I hire? How do I bring on a team? Well, if it's a great place to work, people want to work with you. And a lot of times these celebrations are that secret weapon because it becomes fun. It becomes life. It becomes the things that we want to do. So in celebration of Dental A Team's fifth birthday, I cannot believe we've been doing the podcast for this long. Kudos and appreciation to all of you for being here. I just want to say thank you for being here.   And let's roll in three quick steps where you're able to use and maximize these celebrations to boost the morale that your team wants. Dental A Team was created for you. This podcast was created to bridge the gap between where we are and where we want to be. I try to create this in a quick tactical, practical way for you to be able to take this, celebrate your team, have the fun with your team and be able to truly live life. My passion is life and my platform is dentistry. And so that's why we've created this podcast and our goal in our dental consulting company is to make your life easier.   to make it easy to implement systems, to make it easy to achieve the life that you desire to be, to make it easier to have a team that's rallied around their doctor and it's truly supporting and serving their team, their community, their patients with ease. So that's what Dental A Team's all about. This is gonna be a short, actionable episode where honestly you can go take these tips and implement them today. So step one is.   Kiera Dent (02:17.53) create a birthday and celebration system. I know this sounds so silly, but the reality is I love to build things on systems because they're automated. We don't have to think about it just like our morning routines. I don't have to think about how I'm going to do my hair. I don't have to think about how I'm gonna put my makeup on. I don't have to think about if I'm going to brush my teeth or not. It's a system that we've automatically done and by default as humans, we love to create automations. We love to simplify because it's less brain power. So let's create this into a way where it's a system.   that we can then add the sprinkles, we can add the intentionality behind, but we have the system for success. So birthdays and milestones matter for team connection. It's something where when people feel recognized, they feel special. And some people like to be recognized in public, other people like to be recognized in private. But as human beings, there is a need for us to be significant, to be recognized, to realize that we have purpose in this world. And so some key elements in the celebration system is...   we have to actually have a calendar with the team birthdays and work anniversaries on there. And then someone needs to actually be accountable for overseeing these. And then we need to personalize the experience for each person. So for us, we actually have a Google calendar called birthdays. Our client birthdays go on there. Our team birthdays go on there. Our work anniversaries go on there. And then what we have from there is we actually have a built into on their one to three year birthdays. This is what we get on our one to three year anniversaries. This is what we get.   three to five and so on. And it's actually built into a place. So that way we've taken the thought process of what do we do? And now we can customize it for each team member. So they feel special. Some dental offices love to do lunches for their teams on birthdays and anniversaries. Some people love to do flowers. Some people love to do gifts. Some people love to just write letters to them. Some people they can have like a big board in the break room for that team member where they're able to put up why we love this person. Some people do like, what does this person bring to the table? Like what are their key strengths that we're so grateful for?   And it's wild because if you did this throughout an entire year, imagine having some nice sticky notes in your office where that person on their work anniversary, we said, why Sarah is such a valuable player in our team. And that's up there. And then we put up John, and then we put up, I don't know, Brittany, and then we have Tiffany, and then we have Shelby, and we have Dr. John, whatever it is, we put those up and we actually can start to see this creation of this beautiful team that we've created and all the strengths that we bring to the table to make our team incredible.   Kiera Dent (04:32.204) that becomes a powerful culture that you're starting to create as well. So what I've seen is offices who really take the time to be intentional with team members, team members stay, they feel important. They feel like they're cared about. They feel like they matter. And so even if it seems silly to you, this is a great way for you to give back. And also for me as a leader, I found that it makes me actually intentional and to remember why I love and appreciate this team member and pulls me out of the day to day.   and becomes intentional with that person as a one-on-one focus. So what we need to do is create a shared birthday calendar this week and assign a celebration leader. I think it's a really fun way. Have somebody who's just fun, they love to do this, this can be their job, give them a budget. That way we actually have a true system of our birthday and celebration system. What do we do? How often do we do it to recognize our team members? Now, the second piece we're gonna do, step two is incorporate monthly team events. So we're taking this one step further. I literally have a budget on my PNL and my chart of accounts.   that is team birthdays and anniversaries, team outings and events. So actually start to build this as a budget for you so that way you can incorporate these things and we know how much we can spend, what we're allowed to do to make sure we still maintain that profitability as well. So when we incorporate monthly team events, this is fun. It strengthens relationships, it strengthens bonds, it allows us to get close together. And what I like to do, since there's usually three departments within a practice,   We've got our front office team, our hygiene team, our dental assistant team. You can also throw in your doctor team. So you could do hygiene and DAs, whatever you want to do. But every quarter there's three months. Every year there's four quarters. So however you want to break it up, but I like to actually assign teams out to this, give them their budget and then they create activities. And these could be themed lunches and potlucks. I had an office and they called it dip day. And I really loved that. So they would do it like once a month, everybody would bring in their favorite dips and they'd have a potluck one day.   a month. That's super easy. Minimal costs to the team becomes something very fun that they're all able to participate in. But having something like that can really be fun for it. You can also do team building activities. Like I've seen offices do escape rooms or wine and paint nights, or they go to games like the, I don't know, whatever your team is, the Yankees game or whatever it is, but you actually plan these outings for your team. We can even go volunteer. You can have where we give back. have opportunities to serve together as a team.   Kiera Dent (06:49.422) but team building activities really can grow and bond you guys together. And then you can also do celebrations of like when we hit milestones, maybe when we hit our first million or maybe when we hit our first 2 million or maybe when we get our first 100 Google reviews or whatever it is we're trying to achieve. Maybe it's when we get our block schedule in place, like whatever it is, these can be really fun things for you, but they're planned, the whole team knows. And what I found is when you break it up by department, your team actually has more buy-in for it because now people know what it feels like to have it.   And I, as a leader, feel like there's so much on my plate. That's why we need our celebration champion who really takes this on. They've got their budget. They're excited. They're jazzed. And now you just get to show up and be a player with it is really fun. So what's really incredible about this is offices who start to do this, you don't see the immediate effects. I know we like to get the positive reinforcement. We want this to hit us right away, but just so you know, this might take a year before your team starts to buy into it. But I want you to know we're playing the long-term game of retention of team like   satisfaction of love and connection of that morale because when people really feel like they've got each other's backs when they feel like they're a true team, this is when they get there. They're just sports team. I'm a BYU fan. Judge me or love me. It's your choice. But what was interesting is this year BYU actually had one of their best years. They've had a terrible, terrible, terrible time. And something that their coach talked about was he actually took the team at the beginning and they went up into the mountains in Utah and they bonded as a team.   And they actually had one of their best seasons that they've ever had. And I truly believe it was because they bonded together as a team. They did things that were outside of just practice and football to make them human. It's becoming a humanized experience. And I think that's the currency in today's world. And so having somebody be the person who plans these team events, whether it's the month or a quarter, I don't care, you choose, but really that's gonna be step two of incorporate monthly team events or quarterly into your practice.   And then step three of this awesome thing is make recognition public and consistent. And there's a million different ways to do it. But what I do believe is what we focus on is where our energy will flow. And so if we're focused on the great things of our team, if we're focused on the good things people are doing, rather than the negative, we actually create more of that behavior. And for me, I'm really pro of how can I teach all of you how to get more of what we want and less of what we don't want? Well, public recognition being consistent.   Kiera Dent (09:07.19) is a very key piece of this. And so this will be shout outs and team meetings or social media posts highlighting team achievements or a team starboard or a high five kudos jar or any of those things where it's public and it's consistent. I have an office that I really love and what they do is once a month they actually have all the shout outs in a jar and they pull out a winner of it and the winner gets either like a personalized gift or a gift card. But then the...   that I really love is everybody wins because everybody gets their shout outs for that month of what people have said about them, what people have recognized about them. And leaders, you do need to set the stage on this. We need it to be something that's intentional. We need our team to know that we're serious. It's not just like, Kiera showed up today. That actually can actually hurt our culture rather than inspire our culture. And so if I do notice those things in the shout out jars, I actually do have a conversation.   to make sure that team knows that they're actually hurting rather than helping. And that's unacceptable within our culture. And they have an opportunity to change or they have an opportunity to leave if that behavior doesn't change. And so with this though, we have on our Wednesday mornings, Wednesdays are core value shout out day at Dental A Team We have our core values in every team member. No one's assigned to go. Everybody does have an opportunity to go, but the first person starts and they shout someone out of where they saw that person exhibiting the core value. I love it. It's a two fold because not only am I then   pushing culture within our company, but our team members are recognizing one another for the core values that they're doing. And what's always beautiful to me is each team member usually says like, gosh, I have like two or three that I could give out today, or I could highlight every team member. And that's what I want our teams thinking about. I want them to think about how great these people are, how wonderful these people are, how lucky we are to work together. Of course, there's going to be like issues. Of course, there'll be   frustrations, but if the bulk of what we're seeing are the positives, I believe that's how we're able to build an incredible culture. whatever it is, I would recommend that you implement a weekly recognition ritual in your practice starting next week. Like we can get this started. You can roll out Wednesdays of core value shout out. could roll out the high five jar. could roll out whatever it is, but we've got this where we've got birthdays and anniversaries. That's step one, where we celebrate those and we have someone championing over that in our celebration committee.   Kiera Dent (11:16.728) We have team events that we do monthly or quarterly. And then we have consistent weekly recognition that's public and consistent. So whatever it is, those would be the steps, the three steps for you to really be able to put into place a birthday and celebration system, which again, sounds so silly, but the goal is for us to truly be able to grow our engagement, to grow our community within our team, to grow the culture, to grow the bonds that we have, to have fun with each other.   to remember that we're not just colleagues, but we're human beings on the other side of that. So this is where we're gonna be able to shift and have small celebrations, create big shifts in culture and retention. I do want to be very honest with you that this is something that does take a hot minute. When I first started implementing these items, I didn't see the immediate results, but just like going to the gym, when we go and we start doing sit-ups, we don't walk out with a six pack as much as I wish we could. It does take time, it does take consistency, but I want you to know.   that while we don't necessarily see the results just like working out, the results are actually being built. We just can't visibly see them with our eyeballs, but they are being built within the internal. And so remember that these small consistent pieces have somebody set up to do it, have a lot of fun for it. If you guys want to DM us for any ideas that we have, I'm happy to share checklists with you. I'm happy to share kudos jars, shout out things that we do, our core values so you can see how that's done.

Today, we are following up on seasonal cleansing, exploring the seasonal shift into spring, known as RituCharya.In this episode, we dive into how RituCharya impacts the body and share Ayurvedic insights on maintaining and optimizing your health and thriving throughout the shift. Stay tuned to learn what happens to the body as we transition from winter to spring. You will certainly not want to miss this!Spring and Ayurvedic BalanceIn Ayurveda, spring is considered a time of renewal and cleansing, a season associated with the air and ether elements. These elements are cool, light, and dry, which can bring about an imbalance of vatadosha (air and ether), leading to dryness, restlessness, and feeling ungrounded. Focus on practices and foods that nourish and ground the body during this time.How Seasonal Changes Affect the BodyOur bodies change as the seasons shift from the heavier, cooler winter months to lighter, warmer spring days. In Ayurveda, this is a time for detoxification and replenishment, as the accumulated toxins (ama) that build up in the body during the colder months are ready to be flushed out. This is also when the digestive fire (agni) can become sluggish, so reset and enhance the digestive system to promote balance.What to Eat and Avoid in SpringDuring spring, choose foods that are light, fresh, and easy to digest to support detoxification. Incorporate bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes in your meals to balance any excess kapha (earth and water) that may accumulate during this time. Food Recommendations for Spring:Consume: Light grains (quinoa, barley), leafy greens, sprouts, and seasonal vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, and carrots. These foods help support the digestive process and clear excess mucus or congestion.Avoid: Heavy, oily, and rich foods, as well as dairy and sugary foods, which can aggravate kapha and hinder detoxification.Hydration: Drinking warm water with lemon and herbal teas, such as ginger or peppermint, can help stimulate digestion and cleanse the body.Movement and DetoxificationPhysical activity is essential in spring to help the body release toxins and increase circulation. Ayurvedic practices suggest regular, gentle exercises that promote flexibility and detoxification, like yoga, walking, or swimming. The Spiritual ConnectionSpring is also a time to connect spiritually with nature. In Ayurveda, it is believed that the energy of the earth and the cosmos influences our internal balance. Spending time outdoors, meditating, or practicing mindful breathing exercises can help you reconnect with yourself and the environment around you, as those can help calm the restless mind and restore inner harmony.Community CleanseThe community cleanse spans 10 days. Participants begin with three days of eliminating inflammatory foods like coffee, alcohol, and peanut butter. They then move to only kitchari for five days and end with a reintegration phase where regular foods are slowly reintroduced. The community cleanse helps individuals understand how their bodies react to cleansing and adapt accordingly.Benefits and Body TherapiesThe spring cleanse provides a foundation for transitioning to a more balanced spring diet with lighter vegetables. People going through the cleanse usually experience relief from any digestive issues. Apart from diet, participants often engage in body therapies, like oil massages and invigorating exercises, to help their bodies emerge naturally into spring. Important Considerations for CleansingCleansing is not appropriate during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recovery from illness or injury, as...

Qi Gong-Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA Silver Streakers" audience, emphasizing gratitude, strength, and resilience, all while weaving in the benefits of Qigong. Gratitude in Motion: Qigong for Strength and Resilience at Any Age Silver Streakers, Strong Hearts: Qigong, Gratitude, and Your Well-Being Breathing Deep, Standing Tall: Qigong and Gratitude for Lifelong Vitality Wall of Strength, Heart of Gratitude: Qigong for Resilience at 92 (and Beyond!)Hello, Silver Streakers, and everyone from 1 to 92! Grandpa Bill here, and today, we're focusing on something that fuels us all: gratitude. Gratitude for the strength we have, the resilience we've built, and the bodies that carry us through each day. Now, how do we nurture that strength and resilience, especially as we gather more wisdom and experience? Through gentle movement, mindful breath, and the beautiful practice of Qigong.Today, I want to guide you through a simple Qigong routine that's perfect for all ages and abilities, especially those of us who appreciate a gentle approach. We'll start with some deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Imagine your breath filling your belly, rising up to your chest, and then gently releasing. As you breathe, let go of any tension, any stress, and simply be present in this moment.Now, let's incorporate some gentle movement. We'll begin with 'Opening the Chest,' a simple Qigong exercise. Stand comfortably, or sit if you prefer. Gently raise your arms out to your sides, palms facing forward, and then slowly bring them together in front of your chest, as if you're hugging a big tree. As you do this, feel your chest opening and closing, stimulating your heart and lungs. This is fantastic for heart health and improving circulation. Do this a few times, syncing your movements with your breath.Next, we'll move to the 'Wall Exercise,' a personal favorite for building stability and strength. Find a wall, stand facing it, and place your hands flat against it. Now, gently lean into the wall, keeping your feet planted firmly on the ground. Feel the gentle stretch in your arms and shoulders. This exercise is excellent for strengthening your upper body and improving balance. You can adjust the intensity by how far you lean. This is a perfect example of how you can use everyday surroundings to enhance your health.Throughout these movements, remember to cultivate gratitude. Be grateful for the breath that fills your lungs, for the strength that allows you to move, and for the resilience that has carried you through life's challenges. As you move, visualize your body becoming stronger, more flexible, and more vibrant.Remember, Silver Streakers, health and wellness aren't about pushing ourselves to extremes. It's about gentle, consistent movement, mindful breath, and a heart filled with gratitude. Incorporate this simple Qigong routine into your daily life, and you'll experience a profound sense of well-being. And as always, listen to your body, move at your own pace, and enjoy the journey.#SilverStreakers,#GeriatricFitness,#Qigong,#GentleMovement,#Breathwork,#HeartHealth,#StressReduction,#Wellbeing,#Gratitude,#Resilience,#HealthAndWellness,#GrandpaBill,#BHSalesKennel#HolisticHealingHour,#DailyWorkout,#WallExercise,

In this episode we dive deep into Pisces season, running from February 19th to March 19th, 2025. This season is a powerful time for compassion, creativity, spirituality, and intuition. We'll explore the astrological influences, key transits, and practical tips to navigate this watery, emotional time. Key Themes: Transition and Completion: Pisces season marks the end of winter (in the Northern Hemisphere) and a liminal space before the Spring Equinox. It's a time for reflection, releasing what no longer serves us, and finalizing plans for the new astrological year. Emotional Depth and Healing: Pisces' watery energy amplifies our emotions, offering profound opportunities for somatic healing and releasing deep-seated wounds. Navigating Feelings vs. Facts: This season can blur the lines between emotions and reality. We'll discuss strategies for discerning between the two and processing feelings in a healthy way. Spiritual Connection: Pisces season encourages a deeper connection to something bigger than ourselves, emphasizing soul and spirit over material possessions. The Importance of the Vessel: Taking care of our physical and energetic bodies is crucial during this time of heightened sensitivity and psychic messaging. Astrological Highlights: Nodes of Fate in Pisces/Virgo: This long-term transit emphasizes the balance between emotions and practicality, pushing us towards spirituality and self-care. (Refer to Episode 96 for more on the Nodes of Fate) Mars Stations Direct in Cancer (Feb 23): While Mars moving forward is positive, its placement in Cancer can create challenges with emotional processing. It can also bring empathetic warrior energy. Venus Retrograde in Aries (Mar 1): This retrograde encourages reevaluation of wants, desires, pleasure, and finances. It also highlights the dark feminine and setting boundaries. Mercury Enters Retroshade/Stations Retrograde in Aries (Mar 1/Mar 15): This retrograde focuses on inner child issues, anger, and communication. Double-check everything and avoid major decisions without support. Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo (Mar 14): A powerful time for releasing old emotional patterns and addressing perfectionism. (More details available for Unicorn Wellness Studio community) Overall Energy of the Cycle: This Pisces season emphasizes emotional regulation, nervous system support, and somatic healing. It's a time for deep release, acknowledging our feelings (without letting them consume us), and cultivating self-compassion. We may witness traumatic events in the collective which can trigger our own past traumas. Remember, in the moment, we are safe, we are the grownups, and we can choose our bandwidth of participation. Channeled Information: Pay close attention to your body's signals. It will be communicating messages about both physical and spiritual needs. Prioritize self-care, including sleep, hydration, and a supportive diet. Mindful movement and meditation are essential for grounding and navigating the heightened energies. Pisces Deep Dive: Mantra: I believe Significance: 12th and final sign of the zodiac, mutable water sign. Qualities: Mystical, healing, spiritual, compassionate, creative, escapist, sensitive, intuitive. Balance: Offers soft power, clarity, and the ability to process emotions effectively. Imbalance: Can lead to emotional overwhelm, victim mentality, and difficulty setting boundaries. Key Lesson: Discerning reality from fantasy. Practical Tips for Pisces Season: Prioritize sleep and rest. Hydrate consistently. Incorporate ginger into your diet. Schedule alone time. Engage in creative activities. Practice somatic movement (yoga, etc.). Support lymphatic flushing (foam rolling, cardio, etc.). Perform a belief inventory.
