    • When to Quit: A Necessary Step for PositivityQuitting doesn't equate to failure, but rather the ability to reassess and make choices that prioritize happiness and well-being.

      Knowing when to quit or let go can be a crucial aspect of maintaining positivity and overall well-being. As Kate Cocker from the Volley Network discusses, it's essential not to view quitting as a negative, but rather as a necessary step when circumstances no longer serve our best interests. Using her personal experience of caring for a friend's horse, Kate illustrates how she once felt obligated to continue despite losing enjoyment and encountering constant challenges. However, the moment came when she realized it was time to quit, as the horse's shifting weight signaled that it was no longer a positive experience for her. This anecdote serves as a reminder that quitting doesn't mean failure, but rather the ability to reassess and make choices that prioritize our happiness and well-being. As we approach the midyear mark, it's a great opportunity to reflect on our commitments and consider whether they continue to serve us positively.

    • When to Quit: Knowing When to Move OnAssess joy and value in situations, consider changes, and don't hesitate to quit for new opportunities, prioritizing happiness and well-being.

      Knowing when to quit is essential for maintaining joy and productivity in various aspects of life, be it a job, relationship, or hobby. Quitting doesn't necessarily mean abandoning everything; sometimes, a change within the situation can be sufficient. If something no longer brings you joy or value, it's time to reassess and consider making a change. Don't hesitate to quit and explore new opportunities, as they may lead to unexpected growth and fulfillment. Remember, you have the power to make choices that prioritize your happiness and well-being.

    Today, we know that it's up to us to take care of our own health, and that traditional medicine may not always know what's wrong, and that with changing sources of food, processing, hormones, GMOs, microwaves and electronic devices, we are introducing another level of challenge for our bodies...so I brought on Robin Hoffman-Haack, the Founder of Clar8ty and Chris Neville, the Vice President of Product Development who are on a mission to change the conversation about our health… from the way we age to what we can do today to prevent many of the chronic ailments afflicting millions. According to the World Health Organization stats we are increasing in alarming rates for obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, several forms of cancer, osteoporosis and dental disease. Diet and physical activity are cited as the primary culprits. Chris and Robin introduce us to the new term Nutrigenomics which is different than our old model of taking supplements to help improve our health...it's actually taking nutrients which amplify our body's own ability to produce anti- and super-oxidants to naturally prevent the diseases of inflammation that seem to be affecting us all. Robin's concern for her children also spurred her to have Chris develop a product that blocks the harmful energy waves that come with the electronics that we all cannot seem to live without these days. Finally Chris makes Dr. Marissa's day by talking about gene expression and how we can change genetics with our BS (Belief Systems) and Emotional responses to Life experiences...Positive your Way to Good Health!
