Did you know that we spend around 70% of our lives sitting or lying completely still? A sedentary lifestyle is not only bad for your body, it can also result in anxiety, depression and a lower overall IQ.

When the sun hits it just right, you can sometimes see just how dirty your computer screen gets. And it can get pretty filthy. So, what's the best way to clean it? Not with window cleaner, that's for sure. Listen as this episode begins with the right way to clean your monitor so you don't cause damage https://www.rd.com/article/how-to-clean-a-computer-screen/ We all know exercise is good for you. Any exercise is good whether it is cardio or lifting weights - it's all great! But it doesn't have to be formal, strenuous exercise. In this episode, you'll hear how simply moving your body can do wonders. Your body is designed to move – not sit around. And when you move it in the right way, the benefits are spectacular, according to Caroline Williams, a science journalist who is a regular contributor to New Scientist and author of the book Move: How the New Science of Body Movement Can Set Your Mind Free (https://amzn.to/3Jsjlot). Is privacy dead? After all, you hear a lot of people talking about how so much of our information is floating around, it is impossible to expect much in the way of privacy. Not true, according to Neil Richards. Neil is a leading expert in privacy law. He is Professor of Law at Washington University School of Law, and author of the book, Why Privacy Matters (https://amzn.to/32xsxaG). Listen as he discusses how privacy works, how the laws must change and how privacy is not dead – yet. But it is definitely in need of repair. Are you one of those people who eats lunch at their desk? A lot of people like to keep working as they eat lunch – particularly if you work from home. While it may seem like an efficient thing to do, it's actually a terrible idea.

More and more non-profits are discovering that mid-level is the key to a healthy donor pipeline. If you're wondering where to find more major donors, the answer is almost always: look to your mid-level donors. But how do you know if your mid-level program is working as it should? At Veritus, we evaluate mid-level programs based on three key objectives: Keep, Lift, and Move. When you measure each of these components, you'll be able to see the real impact of your mid-level program in growing your donor pipeline. For this podcast episode, Richard and Jeff hand it over to Lisa and Kara, two of our in-house experts on mid-level programs, for a conversation about how to approach your mid-level goals and KPIs so that you can retain more donors and move those who are ready into major gifts. Show Highlights: In this episode, you'll learn about… How to measure and report on the success of your mid-level program, and the three main KPIs for mid-level: Keep – What are your donor retention and attrition rates for mid-level? Lift – How many mid-level donors are increasing their giving year over year? Move – How many of your mid-level donors are you moving into major gifts? Getting a baseline for your donor attrition rates and average gift sizes. (You can request our free donor file analysis here.) What kind of timeline to expect before you see results from a new mid-level program. Veritus Group is passionate about partnering with you and your organization throughout your fundraising journey. We believe that the key to transformative fundraising is a disciplined system and structure, trusted accountability, persistence, and a bit of fun. We specialize in mid-level fundraising, major gifts, and planned giving, helping our clients to develop compelling donor offers and to focus on strategic leadership and organizational development.

Plenty of information exists about how exercise can boost our immune system and add years to our lives. Emerging research shows that physical movement can also ward off dementia, increase creativity, and help us manage stress. To work out how movement and exercise may be the wonder drug to heal our brains and reduce the need for pharmaceuticals, Positive Psychology Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen, speaks with two authors whose work focuses on the connection between how moving the body can heal the brain. Dr. Jennifer Heisz describes the research that inspired her book, Move The Body, Heal The Mind: Overcome Anxiety, Depression, and Dementia and Improve Focus, Creativity, and Sleep. During the conversation, she shares the physiology behind why the brain makes it hard for some of us to get moving and how moving more improves our mental health. Journalist Caroline Williams details the evidence behind the findings included in her book, Move: How the New Science Can Set Your Mind Free, and shares the neuroscience of how dance and movement can increase human connection and help us manage stress.
It's time to move! Spring is here and its a great time to get more movement in your day-to-day life. Science journalist Caroline Williams shares insights from research on movement and the mind-body connection; why exercise is good, but not enough; and practical tips on ways to move more. We discuss: How “long, ponderous dog walks” led to this book The compelling stats on how inactive people have become – and what's behind those trends The consequences of a more sedentary lifestyle Why there's much more to learn about walking than you may think Is it the mind-body connection or the body-mind connection? Who's driving the bus? What she's personally doing differently now because of what she learned in writing the book The many ways that dancing for fun can help you Some surprising benefits of stretching and yoga Why focusing on the fundamentals like posture and smiling can make a big difference Why going to the gym is good - but not enough.

But there's a parallel body of work on rest. And something like 60% of people that were surveyed came back and said they didn't feel that they were getting enough rest. So whatever we're doing with all this sedentary time we're not finding it particularly restful. So to be able to to move and have the energy to do what you need to do , you have to rest. They're two sides of the same coin. One interesting thing to to remember with rest is it doesn't necessarily have to involve being sedentary. Rest can be running up a hill if it allows you to forget what's going on in your life and and come back feeling happy and exhausted. So I think rethinking rest is a partner to movement." On Movement Snacks "So it's not simply a case of sort of getting out of bed, sitting at your desk for 4 hours, going for a mad run, and then coming back sitting for another 4 hours. It's more about breaking up the sedentary time. It doesn't have to involve anything particularly strenuous - just getting up moving around. I met people who were interested in a form of movement where you move like a natural human. You carry, you climb, or you run. It's all kinds of sort of animal/human base exercise. And they have this thing they call movement snacks. So you get up every 20 minutes and you do some crawling around the room or you hang from your door frame or you lift ...

How do we discern what God is asking us to do vs. just deciding something? As followers of Jesus we want to do the things that Jesus asks us to do, but how do we know what He's asking us to do?

A lively conversation between Matt Brough and Steph O'Brien about how to "Make a Move." Often we have trouble making decisions and then even more trouble acting on them. Steph's latest book deals directly with this. On the big things and the small things, Steph provides sage wisdom for taking steps, even when they might be a bit stumbling or winding, along the path of your life. This episode focussed in on the importance of actually moving, experimenting, and just trying things, in the midst of discernment. Often we might think we are supposed to listen for God's leading and then make a move. Steph and Matt both talk about how hearing from God, seeing where God might be leading is more usually done in the midst of the journey, so the key ingredient is to start!

Stephanie has also authored two books, Stay Curious: How Questions and Doubts Can Save Your Faith and Make a Move: How to Stop Wavering and Make Decisions in a Disorienting World. I am so grateful to have known Stephanie for a couple of decades now. What has always stood out to me is Stephanie’s vibrant and steadfast faith. Her life and her words always remind me that the life of faith is one of adventure, as we join God in his restorative and redemptive work in the world, not knowing where that will lead. Because of Stephanie’s steadfast and dynamic faith, I was so excited to talk to her about authentic beauty. And she was kind enough to tackle some tough issues with me: about faith, struggle, and about how she makes sense of the realities of beauty and tragedy.
