Be The Best You Can Be

 Be The Best You You Can Be



"We can only be more today than we were yesterday" – Mary Morrissey




Keeping Up With The Jones’
What an exhausting pursuit whether you enter the race in your personal or professional life. Wouldn’t you agree?
While on vacation, I realized how much I’d been comparing myself and my business to others. There’s not one bit of empowerment in saying you’re not doing as well as another person.

A Simple Lesson – It’s All Up To Me
Years ago, when I was in retail, we had a year of unrealistic budgets. The calculations made the numbers impossible to achieve.
In order to build momentum in my store, I focused on week to week and month to month growth, rather than the numbers on a page. That shift allowed me to stay motivated, motivate my team and when the new budgets were published, we were poised for success.
I admit, until recently I’d forgotten that lesson. Since vacation I’ve begun to look at myself as my only competition. I compare me to me. “How did I do yesterday?” “How did that compare to the day before?” Not “How am I doing compared to them?”

Be Your Own Biggest Competition
Whether it’s personal or business goals you’re looking to achieve, this shift will rev up your energy rather than tear it down. You’ll also find success much more easily than when you compare yourself to others because there’s always someone new to compare to, but there’s only one you.

Do you agree or disagree? I’d love to hear your opinion.

Take Care of Your Skin !

Beaches and barbecues await... While you're cooking up those meats on the grill, be sure you're not cooking your skin as well! 
An estimated 3.5 million Americans develop skin cancer each year; be smart about your sun protection. You can avoid this disease, and look younger longer.  
Recently, on the Today Show, Dr. Nancy spoke about the new sunscreen guidelines that will be implemented in the US including requirements to list ingredients in labeling. Some of the labeling thus far has been deceptive, and it's time for this needed change.
SPF 15 cuts out 93% of the suns harmful rays. Most Dermatologists recommend a SPF of 30. "Above 30 or higher you're looking at marketing, not science", a noted doctor stated. Its not the number; you need to keep reapplying, every 2 hours if you are in the sun.

What does SPF stand for?
SPF stands for sun protection factor. SPF is a factor of how long you can remain unprotected in the sun without burning. For example, if you begin to burn after 10 minutes in the sun then applying a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will allow you to remain in the sun for 150 minutes before beginning to burn.
                                                        
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends people to use about one ounce of SPF 30 to cover their bodies, a glob about the size of a golf ball.
