Episode 109 Promoting the Power of Poetry

Subscribe: RSS | More

Since 1996 April has been designated as National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets.

Beyond rhythmic verses, metaphors, and sometimes flowery language, poetry can be beneficial in at least two ways.  One is that poetry can help us improve our critical thinking skills as we try to understand what the author is telling us.  Poetry encourages us to think of things from different points of view similar to many brain gym exercises that are designed to improve brain functions.  Poetry is a fun way to keep our brains sharp.

A second way that poetry can be beneficial for you is its healing powers.  Whether you are writing poetry yourself, reading or listening to someone else’s work, poetry can help us channel our emotions to get through stressful, traumatic or depressive situations.

  1. You can celebrate National Poetry Month by writing a poem or two of your own, or
  2. You can attend a poetry event at your local library or neighborhood café. You may even try organizing one for friends, or
  3. Consider dusting off the books on your bookshelf and reading a few poems.

You may remember our former guests, Pat Stanford and Bobby Blackmon who are authors of books that contain poetry.  In honor of National Poetry Month, we will share some of their works with you.  For more information about Pat Standford go to: www.patstandford.com.  For information about Bobby Blackmon go to wcblackmon.com.

Have you heard the quote: “No matter how slow you go you are lapping everybody on the couch?

Yes, this episode is about the dreaded E-word, exercise.  If it helps for you to think of it as a friendlier M-word, movement then please make your plan, for moving about your health, feelings or mood versus losing weight or how you look.  When your movement plan is about taking care of your body because you love your body and you want to maintain your body as well as you can for as long as you can then you’re doing it out of love.  The real love for yourself…

Episode 105 Raise Your Expectations of Yourself

Why Raise Your Expectations of Yourself?

If you’re perfectly happy with your current situation in life, you might be wondering why you would want to raise your expectations. Well, when you expect more, you will drive yourself to achieve more.

Think about a time when you’ve expected nothing out of a situation. Chances are you weren’t unhappy with the results because you didn’t really care, but at the same time you probably weren’t driven and fulfilled either.

While having greater expectations opens you up and makes you more vulnerable to failure, you can also have big rewards too. It’s worth it in the end because a negative experience is still an experience that you can learn from. A positive experience may provide you with one of those life-defining moments that make you happy to be alive.

Episode 104 Open Your Mind to Optimism

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 10:39 — 14.6MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

How do you see your life?  Do you see yourself as a glass-half full person or a glass half empty person?

You’re a glass half full person if you view life positively and you seem to be upbeat all the time. Even if some people claim to be annoyed by your constant cheerfulness, they are indeed glad to be around you so they can feed off your joy.

You are a glass half empty person if negativity resides in your mind.  Regardless of the situation, you will see the negatives.  You will point out everything that went wrong and can continue to go wrong.  Other people avoid you so you are frequently lonely.

Good news! Your outlook on life does not have to be categorized into one of two personality types such as the glass half full or the glass half empty type.  You can easily improve your optimism level, open your mind, and have a happy life.

Being optimistic might seem like a large task, but there are simple things you can do to improve your outlook. If you practice each day, you’ll be doing yourself a great favor, since your mind is the very foundation for achieving success and fulfillment.

Spring is the season of the year when we delight in seeing flowers. Spring is also associated with rebirth, rejuvenation, and renewal.  We can start this new season with a new celebration. Milestone Divas Day!  A very special day to honor women aged 50 and older who exhibit confidence, enthusiasm, and strength through their character and contributions to society.

(Applause)

Milestone Divas Day is celebrated the 3rd Saturday of March.  You can celebrate by gathering with the Milestone Divas in your life, from a good meal to an outing at your local park.  Who knows, you may run into another Milestone Diva and together you can recite the Milestone Divas Cheer:

Feisty, Sassy, Saucy are we

Exciting, Nifty, and Awesome you see

Every second, minute or hour

Bold, wise, owning our power

In tees and jeans or a fancy frock

Milestone Divas Rock!

Episode 102 Happiness is More Than Feeling Good

Why is happiness more than just feeling good?

In addition to feeling good, happiness is also important to your health, success, and relationships.

Your happiness isn’t just important to you. It’s also important to your friends, family, and your employer.

Happy people are healthier. Happier people get sick less frequently and less severely on the average. A bad mood is bad for your immune system, too.

Happy people are less likely to suffer from anxiety and depression.

You don’t need major research studies to see some effects of happiness or unhappiness around you every day.

What is the most special relationship in your life?

Could it be the bond you have with your romantic partner?

I enjoy hearing stories of how couples met and how they make their relationships last through decades.  We’ve had several guests on The Cup of Glo who shared cute relationship moments with us.  Here are a few reminders for you.

We’ll start with a way to meet, from episode 40 with Kelly McGrath…

Once you’ve met your special someone you want to keep it going.  In her episode of She Has a Story to Tell, Robin Collins told us about celebrating her Ruby anniversary.  Talk about longevity! Wow!

In episode 51, we chatted with newlyweds Brenda and Skip Nelson, confirming that it is never too late to have happiness in your special relationship.

Has your special relationship moved beyond the marriage ceremony to blissful matrimony?  I sure hope so.

Why is it so important for us to laugh, that there are actual careers dedicated to making us laugh?

A positive result of the pandemic is the explosion of the gig economy.

If you’re considering trying something non-traditional yet fun and helpful, consider making others laugh.  Go to a comedy club and give the open mic a try, or perhaps you can lead a laughter yoga class, or you can join an improv group…
