How To Motivate Yourself to Walk (Regularly)

If you are fit right now, you might say, "I don't need to." Then you are like I was few months ago. Yes we have all heard "creating a healthy lifestyle starts with a habit." Whether you're still in that healthy or "I need to do something about this" stage, it's not too late to start it now. Here are some reasons that I use in motivating myself: 

1.  Clothes dilemma - I was shocked when I couldn't fit in most of my clothes any longer. Then I realized that I gained pounds! What's worse is that I can't hide it even on my pictures, and I have to wear very loose clothes. And definitely, I do not like my family's recent comments and jokes about my waistline. 

2. A stress buster - A drastic lifestyle change can surely take a toll on your health. I always found myself sleepless and could not enjoy the things I used to do like watching my favorite TV shows or movies.

3. A social boost - Having several online friends or connections are good but "real" social interaction are better. Why not combine them? Meet new people or catch up with friends, family, relatives or acquaintances by inviting them for a walk. Last week, I had a great time walking with a former coworker at my local park. Who would not want to have a chat while enjoying a nice view? Having a walk buddy is also a good way to network.  Share that passion while helping each other mutually!

How To Make an Effective Powerpoint Presentation


1. Theme – Pick a design that is appropriate.  Match the industry (consulting, educational, etc) to grab your audience's attention.  Be simple, use fewer images, or be more creative, based on the nature or field.

2. Layout – Avoid using paragraphs if appropriate except for the part of a case study or a similar type of format.  Bullet points allow your audience to listen and read the slide at the same time.  In short, it will keep them on the same track. Most presentations use blue as background because it’s cooler to the eye. Even businesses prefer this color for their logo or packaging because it symbolizes dependability.  The background should not overshadow the text. In some fields, they use the 8x8 rule: 8 words per line and 8 lines per slide.  Use phrases instead of sentences.
