53. Manage your health
"The recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh a few times a day." Michael Miller, MD, Center for Preventive Cardiology,
University of Maryland Medical Center
It's easy to put off managing your health. Do it now. The general advice is:
eat properly - sitting down in a relaxed setting, taking time to enjoy your food
eat proper food - fresh, organic, lean meat, fresh fruit, salads, vegetables, roughage, no junk, no processed food
get a decent night's sleep - every night
* stop worrying - laugh, have fun, enjoy something not work-related
* carry out basic health checks regularly to catch major conditions in time, such as testicular or breast lumps and bumps
work in a comfortable and safe environment
get yourself screened from time to time for cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc.
have supportive and loving relationships
* have some sort of belief system to sustain you in times of crisis
exercise
watch your weight
• drink moderately * don't smoke.*
Of course you don't have to do any of this. You're a grown-up and can make your own decisions. But if you want to live long and prosper, it pays to think now.
54. Head up, not head down
"It's butt down head up, not head down butt up - you look like a bug that way." Mark Maynard (aged 10), baseball player, Parker Bears
It's easy to adopt a head-down approach to life. It's harder to remain cheerful, head up. Is your glass half empty or half full? If it seems to be half empty, perhaps you need a holiday, a retraining schedule, a few new challenges, a new job, a new department, a new team - or simply a new approach. Life does tend to get fired at us at point-blank range and there is barely time to duck. The manager's lot is not always a happy or easy one and you get tired, despondent, bored, listless and just about ready to quit. We all do from time to time. Being a manager can feel like a thankless task. You get stuff shovelled at you from all directions. I'm never sure whether it's better to be at the top shovelling stuff downwards or at the bottom shovelling stuff upwards but I sure as hell know it's not great caught in the middle fending it off from above and below.
Head up is both an affirmation (repeat it to yourself constantly when encountering problems, but silently, only to yourself, or they will section you) and a physical instruction - you can physically and emotionally (and probably mentally) practise head up,
While looking in a mirror, keep your head up and say, '1 feel really miserable'. You will laugh. Try the opposite. Head down, and say 'I feel really happy'. Again you will find it impossible and silly. You will laugh. But you have to be looking in a mirror. Perhaps you always look like that. Either way it is funny. You are funny.
When entering a room it is head up. When chairing a meeting it is head up. When doing a presentation it is head up. When greeting people it is head up. When talking to staff it is head up. When talking to customers it is head up. At the end of a long and busy day, when you go to bed, you can do head down - and go to sleep knowing you've been big and bright and bold all day. Well done you.
