The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time
By Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
(Free Press, 2003)
This excellent book talks about the four areas of a person's life that need to be in balance. The first is physical--eating, sleeping, exercising, etc. The second is emotional energy and having close connections with other human beings. The third element is mental energy--our brains need to be challenged to keep growing. Finally, our spiritual energy is vital to our overall well being. Training to regulate your energy levels is like athletic training. Even modest changes can have great impact. This books shows you how to achieve peak performance.
During this time of year when the days are darker, everyone needs a little something to keep them from the doldrums. Thus, the invention of candles!
Candles add charm and ambience whatever the subject of your event. But what do you do with votive candleholders that have wax all over them? Put the candles in the freezer for 24 hours and the wax will break off. Rinse them out, shine them up, and they are ready to use.
