Be helpful...

Yesterday I posted some thoughts on eating less.  Today I have a few on moving more.  And, no, I am not going to make the usual suggestions about parking at the far end of the lot.

• Be helpful.  Be the one who jumps up to refill everyone’s water.  Choose to be the one who takes out the trash or brings in the trash cans.  Go check to see if the mail has come yet.  Offer to watch the neighbors’ dog and walk him or her while they’re gone.

• Make walking the new coffee.  Want to spend time with a friend?  Go walk!  The conversation will be just as lively and you’ll both sleep better.

• Get out from behind the desk.  This is kind of like the last suggestion.  If you need to talk with a coworker, head over to her or his desk instead of texting or calling.  If there are things to discuss that don’t require lots of screens and charts, take it outside around the block; you may find that your ideas are better!

• Drink more water.  If nothing else, adequate hydration means that you have to get up to use the bathroom every hour.
