Exercise and nutrition matter...

We were greeted by several of our neighbors when we returned to Las Vegas last week. Our neighborhoods here and back East each have small homeowner’s associations, so we get to know our neighbors really well. On Saturday, our next-door neighbor came out to see us and we noted how great their two teenagers looked: it seems that when the lockdown started last March they decided to change their nutritional habits. I imagine lots of people all over the world have altered their habits during this time and many have used this time to stay or get fit. While I haven’t been really disciplined, I too have been exercising more and eating healthier. And since everything we do is habit-forming, it’s good (even if you start now) to make sure what you do is what you want to be doing. The news has lots of stories of individuals and families recreating more (close to home), planning and implementing home and landscaping projects, and, of course, changing their eating habits. When managing onsite or remote workers, consider having group discussions about and celebrating things like these that people are doing in these Covid-19 times – it’s a great way to build team spirit and camaraderie and help improve your team’s overall well-being and performance.  Make a habit of supporting good habits today.
