Hoping to get lucky with your health?
A recent article in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making describes why the majority of low-income people spend a large portion of their money on lottery tickets. Emily Haisley, the lead author explains, “The hope of getting out of poverty encourages people to continue to buy tickets, even though their chances of stumbling upon a life-changing windfall are nearly impossibly slim and buying lottery tickets in fact exacerbates the very poverty that purchasers are hoping to escape.”
How many people do the same thing with their health? Whether it’s buying magnetic jewerly, drinking a crazy concoction, or popping that “magic” pill – you’re ‘hoping’ that it will take care of pain or problem you’re dealing with. What if there was a different kind of Hope?
That Hope is coming to the Redmond area soon. Stay tuned for what that Hope means for you!!

This weekend my family was in town and we had the opportunity to take off for a day of sight seeing and relaxation. The picture is one of the waterfalls we got to see down along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. According to the World Tourism Organization the average American take about 13 days off a year. That is over half less than the rest of the world. The Japanese take 25, Brazil 34, and Italy takes 42.
That really needs to change. If you are the person that barely gets up in the morning and drags themselves into bed at night because you are so stressed and work has you down. You have got to change something! Don’t be another typical American. Travel more, take long weekends, plan ahead!
Take the opportunity to pull out your calendar and plan 4 long weekends or vacation get-a-ways for the next year RIGHT NOW! If you don’t do it now, you never will. If you can plan those trips today, you’re already ahead of the rest of America. Not only will taking more time for yourself give you the opporunity to see more of the world and experience new things but getting away relieves stress and gives you the chance to start the week fresh.
I know after taking some time to myself I am ready to start the week running. What can you do today to get rid of your stress and start living life.
