Celebration For Success Ideas

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Admin

These ideas have been known to improve relationships, enhance creativity, make people feel appreciated, and build an invisible web of goodwill.

Most of the ideas below come from a survey of the most popular ideas used at medium to large organizations in North America. All the ideas have actually been tried, and more importantly, they have been accepted with joy and appreciation and have produced positive results for the organizations that tried them. Use these ideas or let them inspire you to customize your own for your group environment. Most of them cost little or nothing and require virtually no time beyond informing people about what’s happening. You can weave them into your day or use them to plan a special event. The most important thing is to not just talk about these ideas, but actually do them.

A. Fun Rituals:

1. Champagne Celebration: Maybe the office has just landed that big, long-fought-for account, or, perhaps the division has just had a productive week together. Why not celebrate working together—for any reason—with some champagne (or sparkling grape juice if you prefer)?

2. Kazoo Applause: At Apple Computers, during a quarterly meeting, they gave out kazoos to the whole group. Rather than applauding by clapping hands (how passé!), they hummed their acknowledgment with kazoos. How about trying slide whistles instead of gavels for formal meetings? In fact, how about asking for a standing ovation . . . right now?!

3. Noses: There are a variety of rubber animal noses and red foam or plastic clown noses—bring ‘em in and wear for staff meetings, tough times, on Fridays, etc.

4. Laugh a Day: The corporate office of Bank of America issued a “Laugh a Day Challenge” to all its Northern California employees. For the entire month of April, employees were challenged to bring in a joke or cartoon every day to share with their co-workers. Those people successfully completing the Challenge were given a Corporate Challenge T-Shirt, and a book, internally published, filled with the best responses. [It's important to note the spirit of the "challenge" NOT the "competition". They weren't looking for the best jokes to "win", but simply the willingness to participate. Thus everyone wins, even the employees who did not bring in jokes, but who nonetheless got to hear them.]

5. Thanks in Advance: Sure we enjoy and deserve to celebrate and be acknowledged for our contributions when we retire. But, why wait?! How about a party and a celebration on the first day of a person’s joining your company/organization? What a great way to set the tone and include them as a member of the team.

6. Contests: Try these at lunchtime or at social events: Balloon shaving, Lip synch, Air band (or air orchestra), Worst Hair Day, Giant bubbles, Golf course.

7. Secret Pal: Have everyone in the office/organization/division/etc. write his/her name, address, phone number, birth date (actual date of birth for those with nothing to hide!), and a short list of things they like (such as: flowers, sports, chocolate, funny hats, exotic post cards, music, etc.). Fold and put slips in a hat. Then each person picks a slip — making sure that no one has picked their own name (if so, all slips go back in and try again). Once all slips are distributed and everyone has someone else’s name, the fun begins! You are the Secret Pal to the person whose name you’ve picked. Over the course of the Secret Pal experience (we recommend at least three months) your “mission” is to do creative, spontaneous, fun, and enlivening things for your partner…all anonymously of course. You might send flowers to his/her home; leave a note on her desk about how much you enjoy working together, or admire her professional competence, or appreciate his contributions to the organization; or, perhaps, simply send a Valentine’s card in September with a note that you just couldn’t wait until February to send your love. The important thing is to make it fun and uplifting–and impossible for your partner to guess who their Secret Pal is. And, of course, the extra special fun is that while you are being a Secret Pal to your lucky partner, someone else in the group is your Secret Pal, and is doing fun things for you! At the end of the predetermined time span, have a public event where Secret Pals are revealed.

B. Theme Days:

1. Clothes: Hats; socks (one only? mismatched?); tacky tourist; tacky/ugly tie; clashing clothes; have Casual Dress Day once a week/month. (it’s a way to acknowledge those “secret identities” we all seem to have; the sides of ourselves that our friends see, but that our co-workers–who, let’s face it, we may actually spend more time with—rarely get to see). In Hawaii, on occasion even the television newscasters wear Aloha shirts rather than “business clothing” during broadcasts. It’s a real nod to the playful, joie de vivre spirit in all of us; certain colors (eg. one color, or color family only, ebony & ivory, etc.); inside-out; crazy T-shirts; pajamas; eccentric accessories.

2. Food: Have a backward meal; notes on orange rind; hot dog bananas; use food colors to change colors of food (blue potatoes? purple pasta?); senior management can cook and serve food to employees; do-it-yourself banana splits; gourmet lunch; food Olympics…

3. Celebrate: Special holidays; un-birthdays; Tuesdays; your giggling friends; standing ovations (at meetings, in the cafeteria); crazy awards (to bosses, to employees, part-time staff); a person’s first day on the job; airport arrivals; Christmas in July; summer beach party in February; helium balloons (notes inside, give ‘em away, decorate or write messages on the outside); .00 present anonymous gift exchange; celebrity for a day; decorate your boss’ office…

4. Flowers: Bring ‘em in to adorn the office; give ‘em away with a note of acknowledgment; have a bouquet that someone keeps for an hour and then passes on to the next person; balloon bouquets…

5. Photos: (baby, pets, cars, kids) For the bulletin board; for newsletters; awards meetings; the training room.

6. Special Person Days: Secretaries Day celebrations; Family Day: bring in photos or bring in the family for lunch, have a lunch out; special office picnic day; Gopher Day: delegate things to people (ie, will you please go-fer this or that) or, if you come in and see your shadow, you leave and don’t return to work for six weeks; offer massages on April 30…

7. Be Kind to Others Day: (Of course this should really be every day!) Do spontaneous, anonymous kind things for each other—eg., clean all the tea cups in the staff room; finish a colleagues report; finish your assistant’s filing…

8. Excuses: Put up a sheet of paper and ask people to contribute the best excuse they’ve ever heard or given for: being late, returning merchandise, not paying their bill, etc. (use a real one, or make one up)

9. Awards: Night Each person gets given the name of someone else at work. They choose an award title and a fitting prize to go with it. Choose upbeat, non put-down prizes. Here are some examples of titles and awards:

o Best blow-dried hair…can of salon mousse.

o Perkiest phone voice…new phone headset.

o Most good-natured morning person…gift certificate for 10 cups of chai at local tea shop.

o Most legible handwriting… pen embossed with their name and company name.

C. On Going:

1. Humor Area: Create laugh books (people write in funny anecdotes and non-toxic jokes; bind them and distribute at the end of the quarter or year); cartoon corner; jokes/cartoons on memos and newsletters; smile more; cartoon treasuries or funny magazines in waiting areas and bathrooms; laughter cart; a laughter room; comedy library of books, CD’s and DVD’s…

2. Games: Non-competitive/cooperative games; charades; skits; secret word (upon hearing the word, everybody crosses legs or looks up or changes seats, etc.); treasure hunt…

3. The Great Job Exchange: Trade jobs, clothes, offices for a day. OK, OK, at least try an hour. 10 minutes?

4. Elevators: Smile, introduce people to each other (you don’t have to know them either) face everyone else; have cartoons on the side walls call an elevated meeting.

5. What’s Good?: Begin meetings by asking each person “What’s going good in your dept?”

6. Joy Break Box: Instead of having coffee or tea at 3:15, take ten minutes off to do, read or play something fun (read a novel, thumb through a “Far Side” cartoon book, check out the movie pages for a comedy film to see later, listen to a comedy tape on your headphones); try to have a rule: “no-work-talk” on breaks; create a Joybreak Committee to plan occasional group break-time interactions and activities.

7. Stroll Meetings: For 2-3 person meetings, go on a walk together in nature
(bring a mini recorder to capture ideas and decisions for the minutes).

8. Best Mistakes: Stories allot 5 minutes during meetings for people to share any recent embarrassing or funny stories from their work or personal life.

9. Mural: Put up a large piece of paper in a common area. Pick a theme and ask people to contribute to it over a period of time. They can draw pictures, doodles, write words, poetry, paste magazine clippings, etc.

10. Lunchtime Fun: Go out to lunch with co-workers all wearing noses or fun hats. Give an outrageously good tip to the waiter. Sing the waiter a song for doing such a good job.

11. Unbirthdays (pick anyone and give them a surprise birthday party)

12. Decorate the boss’s office with streamers, flowers and balloons

13. Way to Go notes: Have you ever wanted to tell someone what you admire, respect or appreciate about them, but never got around to it? Create a large envelope for each person at work and put them in a common area. Each week invite everyone to write notes of specific acknowledgment to their bosses, employees or even service providers–where you have caught them doing something right. Put your notes in the appropriate envelope. After one month, everyone opens their envelopes.

14. Caption Contest: Put up a cartoon without the caption on the staff area bulletin board. Invite people to make up a new caption that fits the cartoon. As people go through their day they can read what other people wrote and add to the list.

The Truth Why so Many People Fail With Self-help Programs

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Admin

There are thousands of self-help or life improvement programs for sale everyday world wide, so why is it that of those that are sold, 99% of the purchasers will not achieve their hopes and dreams.

There is an ever growing belief that these self-help programs are not the instant fix to riches and happines. That some how just by reading these manuscripts can change our whole outlook on life and eliminate the excuses we all make for not making the changes we need to make.

This article will investigate probably the most plausible cause why so many people fail with these programs.

First and foremost you must understand you are in charge of your life, you always have been and always will be.

This is quite a daunting thought for most people,in fact over 90% of people play the blame game,its easier to blame people, places and things than take full responsibility for our actions.

You can see this in so many lives, how many times have we heard, “it wasn’t me guv it was him”.

Or we find it’s easier to blame the boss or work colleagues when we are not progressing in the work place. How often have we blamed our partners for holding us back? How often is it the government or authorities fault, we can always say we are too young or too old. It seems there is no end to the excuses we can find.

The best excuse for not achieving must be “It’s not my fault I can’t get anywhere, I am like I am because of the conditioning of my childhood, and it was my fathers/mothers fault”.

Yes, you may have been conditioned to accept a certain lifestyle and to accept a certain standard of living but this doesn’t mean you cannot change it.

When you can honestly stand and raise your hand up, take full responsibility for your actions, and accept everything in your past, your success and your failures, and know these are down to you, then and only then it is at that time you can say you are half way to becoming as successful as you want to be.

If you know deep down there is more to life, and you are prepared to be one of the small minority that take full control and responsibility for their actions good or bad, then these self-help programs will help you get into action so you can achieve wealth, health and happiness.

If you can just stop for one minute and look at the most important word in the last sentence, no not wealth nor is it health or happiness the most important word in the last sentence is actually the corner stone of any self-help program and the key to your new life and success the word is ACTION.

It is so important I will say it again ACTION… and that is the bottom line. Self-help programs cannot work if we don’t take ACTION, and if you want to know the real truth here it is.

The truth is this, only about 3% of people (maybe less), that read through a self-help or life improvement program will take the action to actually change their thinking and so give them the success they desire.

10% will read through the program make a plan but fail to continue to apply it to their everyday living. The rest may not even finish reading the book.

So when you are buying any self-help or improvement program always remember, You are in charge, don’t make excuses and you must take action for it to work.

10 Ways to Get More Yoghurt in Your Day

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Admin

10 Ways to Get More Yoghurt in Your Day













Home-made salad dressings like this Blue Cheese made with yoghurt can be much healthier than bottled versions.


Englewood, CO (PRWEB) February 2, 2011

The origin of probiotic yoghurt dates back centuries, maybe millennia, but it has always provided vital nutrients and life-supporting (probiotic) cultures. These cultures have been credited with granting longevity and health. Because these cultures constantly die off, however, it’s important to replenish them daily. Daily servings of probiotic yoghurt can help. Yoghurt is also loaded with many vital nutrients and makes a great substitute for ingredients that are higher in fat and calories. Now all natural Mountain High Yoghurt, with at least 100 billion probiotic cultures in every 8-ounce serving, offers you 10 ways to get more yoghurt in your day.

1. Power Up Your Breakfast

Mix plain or flavored yoghurt with granola and fruit for crunchy satisfaction and fiber. Blend yoghurt with fresh or frozen fruit pieces for an on-the-go breakfast that does a body good. Spares you the sodium and fat from sausage and bacon, and helps keep you feeling full.

2. Top Your Oatmeal

Oatmeal topped with a generous dollop of yoghurt offers stick-to-your-ribs goodness with heart-healthy fiber, protein, and calcium to help regulate blood pressure and strengthen bones.

3. Replenish with Post-Workout Smoothies

Make your exercise recovery as strong as your workout. Yoghurt smoothies offer potassium and carbohydrates to help your body replenish these nutrients after exercise, plus protein to help rebuild muscle. Can your sports drink do that?

4. Enjoy Healthier Dips and Guacamole

Best excuse to snack right: A dip made with plain yoghurt instead of sour cream pulls double duty by providing healthy probiotic cultures while cutting fat and calories. Make a yoghurt-based guacamole and you’ll add Vitamin E, fiber, folate, and more with another super food, the mighty avocado.

5. Garnish Your Tacos, Indian Food, Potatoes

Go ahead and pile it on. A cup of Lowfat Plain Mountain High Yoghurt adds 11 grams of protein and provides 40% of your Daily Value for calcium but only 2.5 grams of fat and 140 calories. That’s a lot less fat and calories than sour cream, but with the same rich taste.

6. Freshen Up Your Salad Dressings

Home-made yoghurt-based salad dressings have many advantages over bottled brands. They are much lower in sodium, fresher, and lower in fat and calories. Mountain High Yoghurt can be used in place of mayonnaise in potato, pasta, or fruit salads, too.

7. Go Greek

Thicker Greek-style yoghurt can satisfy any hunger. You can make your own Greek Yoghurt by straining creamy Mountain High through a colander lined with coffee filters. Cover it with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and let the whey drain off for 24 hours. You’ll double the protein and have an even thicker yoghurt to eat plain, topped with nuts and honey, or as a thicker sour cream substitute.

8. Put It in Your Desserts

Yoghurt makes a great substitute for cream cheese in Easy No-Bake Cheesecake and for marscapone in Tiramisu. The Mountain High website features many dessert recipes with their probiotic yoghurt as a delicious, creamy base.

9. Freeze and Eat It

Scoop yoghurt in a bowl, top with nuts, chocolate or other toppings, and freeze it for 30 minutes. You can indulge while enjoying those probiotic cultures that are great for your gums and freshen your breath.

10. Just Spoon It

Easy, fast, convenient: Scoop yoghurt in a bowl and toss in some nuts, fruit, jam, syrup, peanut butter and/or chocolate to customize your flavor!

About Mountain High: Mountain High Yoghurt is the best-selling quart-size yoghurt in the Western United States. This premium-quality yoghurt contains only natural ingredients, including rbST-free milk. Every one-cup serving of Mountain High contains at least 100 billion of the live, active, and probiotic cultures L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei. More information can be found at http://www.MountainHighYoghurt.com.

That’s Your Excuse??

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Admin

Oh boy, for once my procrastination has paid off! All week I’ve been trying to think of what to write for my blog post, and this afternoon, instead of staring at a blank Word document, I checked out some news sites and found my inspiration.

CareerBuilder recently conducted a survey to find out how many people are fudging on their sick days and what some of the best excuses were for missing work. The survey shows close to a third of workers have played hooky from the office at least once this year, calling in sick when they really weren’t. Twenty seven percent of employers say there’s an increase in bogus sick excuses from employees due to continued stress and burnout caused by the weak economy.

Here are the top 12, which should give you at least a little chuckle.

Employee said a chicken attacked his mom.
Employee’s finger was stuck in a bowling ball.
Employee had a hair transplant gone bad.
Employee fell asleep as his desk while working and hit his head, causing a neck injury.
Employee said a cow broke into her house and she had to wait for the insurance man.
Employee’s girlfriend threw a Sit n Spin through his living room window.
Employee’s foot was caught in the garbage disposal.
Employee called in sick from a bar at 5:00 p.m. the night before.
Employee said he wasn’t feeling too clever that day.
Employee had to mow the lawn to avoid a lawsuit from the home owner’s association.
Employee called in the day after Thanksgiving because she burned her mouth on a pumpkin pie.
Employee was in a boat on Lake Erie and ran out of gas and the coast guard towed him to the Canadian side.

Fibbers (or stretchers-of-the-truth) beware! Even though most employers said they trusted their workers were really sick, some had their doubts: 29 percent reported they have checked up on an employee who called in sick and 16 percent said they have fired a worker for missing work without a proven excuse. Of the employers who checked up on an employee, 70 percent said they required the employee to show them a doctor’s note, half called the employee at home, 18 percent had another worker call the employee and 15 percent drove by the employee’s house or apartment. I’m having visions of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off go through my head.

For those of you who would want to call in sick, but feel the tug of your conscience, you can always go halfway. Use audio conference calls or web conferencing to take the one meeting you feel you just can’t miss. If you’re going the web route, make sure to unplug your web cam.

What’s your favorite from the list? Got any better ones?

How To Know If Your Spouse Is Lying To You – Trust Me, You Do Not Want To Miss This At All

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Admin

Nobody likes liars but sometimes we cannot help it if we fall for someone who is used to lying.  However, there is a way to guard yourself by simply making sure you know when you are being lied to.

Observe the hand movements. Hand movements such as covering the mouth, touching the nose, scratching the head or neck and rubbing an eye are indications of telling a lie.   There were studies that proved that when a person scratches a part of his or her body indicates that that person feels uncomfortable about the situation.  When one is uncomfortable, that person may be hiding something or is afraid that he or she will be able to share the wrong information.

The unusual way he or she answers your question. Liars needed time to formulate an excuse.  In doing so, the liar may speak in a muffled, garbled or soft voice at first but when he or she finally finds the best excuse, the liar suddenly becomes talkative and overemphasizes an excuse.

Eye contact. A liar does not make eye contact.  If he or she looks away or will not look at you in the eyes when answering, then the person may be trying to cover up something and may not be answering truthfully.  If you tell him or her that he or she lacks eye contact, that person may try to look at you in the eye but may make faces or blink a lot when answering to try to keep his or her composure.

Content of his or her answer. The answer of a liar begins with confusing thoughts.  This is because when he or she is starting to compose the answer, he or she is still trying to go around the bush to be safe until he or she finds the best excuse and then stick to it.  There will also be interchange of ideas such as when he or she tries to account the details of an event in a wedding ceremony.  He or she will claim that the bride threw the bouquet happened first while later he or she will say that it is the slicing of cake.  Moments later, he or she will again talk about the throwing of bouquet as the first to happen until finally he or she will stick to it.

An Extremely Effective Way To Track A Cheating Spouse- There is an extremely effective trick which will help you spot a cheating spouse within seconds…No matter how sneaky your spouse is…He/she definitely can’t fool you when you use this trick. I strongly urge you to follow the instructions on the next page right away- Click Here.

Exercise: 5 Ways To Jumpstart Your Energy

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Admin

Are you having difficulty getting started with exercise? Your best excuse immediately pops into your mind to interfere with your good intentions. You definitely need some ideas and strategies that will overcome your resistance and make it easier for you to get started.


First, call it what it is – an excuse. An excuse to pass on exercise is a justification to avoid doing what you know is good for you. You make it appear more acceptable or less unpleasant in your mind. You tell yourself you don’t have enough time and you believe yourself! Because you believe it is a fact, you decide that it is OK not to exercise. Then you don’t feel too guilty about skipping exercise.


You know you don’t have time to exercise, but put on your exercise clothes and shoes anyway to counteract your excuse. That will help you to stop believing that you don’t have enough time. Decide that you must find the time to exercise. Decide to make time. Then get practical, look at your day timer or PDA and schedule exercise as you would any other important task in your life.


While you are doing these first two steps, it is imperative for you to remember that if you keep on doing the same thing, you will keep on getting the same results. In this case if you keep on pushing exercise to the bottom of the priority list, you will continue to live with a body that is sluggish, overweight and/or has health problems.


Jumpstart your energy level with some energetic breathing, now that you are prepared. Yes, you breathe all the time, but it is ineffective, shallow breathing that doesn’t get you much oxygen. You need more oxygen, because more oxygen equals more energy.


Do this little exercise as you read this article. Rate your energy level right now on a scale of zero to 10. Make a note of the number. Is it 4 or 5? Maybe 3? If you are feeling rather energetic, you might rate yourself higher.


Now breathe deep into your belly with abdominal breathing. Pull the air way down by expanding your abdomen. Don’t lift your shoulders. Make each inhalation equal in time to the exhalation, so you don’t get dizzy. When you start, count one thousand, two thousand, and etc. to make the inhalation equal to the exhalation.


Breathe this way for three minutes. Time yourself so you learn how this really works. If your diaphragm muscle is weak, this may be hard, but stick with it. Just go slowly and do another minute.


Now, rate your energy level again. It is probably 1 to 3 points higher on the scale than it was before you did abdominal breathing. Do this exercise any time you want more energy and especially before you want to exercise. It sends instant energy to your muscles where you need it. More energy translates into more motivation to exercise, so it is easier to overcome your excuses.


Last of all just start doing something for 5 minutes. Move. Get the exercise juices going. Walk around your house. Walk up and down some stairs. Stretch your body over an exercise ball. Grab the dog and start walking. Put some fast music on the stereo. Dance. Jump in the car and go to the nearest park.


It feels really good. Your muscles have been crying out for some action and you have been ignoring them. Move. It only takes a little bit to start to feel good.


Jumpstart your exercise today by naming your excuse, so you immediately have more command over it. Counteract it with a specific plan. Remember that you must do something different to get different results. Start by breathing deeply into your belly for more energy, put on your exercise clothes and get moving.

Top 7 Reasons Guys Cheat – And How to Tell If It’s Happening to You

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Admin

The way I see it there are no good reasons that your man has to cheat on you and there are only excuses. But you better believe when they get caught they are going to come up with these reasons. They will probably use these reasons to themselves to justify their cheating before they even really get into the cheating so that their guilt does not get in the way.

1. You didn’t sexually satisfy them.

You didn’t please them in bed. You only did it a few times a month and they needed to be pleasured somehow. You didn’t live up to their expectations when you two did have sex.

These are all things that they could work out with you in the relationship whether it be through talking to you, reading up on what you can do, or seeing a counselor. This reason is not valid. Even if you’ve tried every single thing you can think of to rectify it and it couldn’t be fixed, then he could have left you instead of cheated on you.

2. They are sexually addicted.

I look at this excuse as one of the best excuses they can give you because it’s starting to be talked about more and more as a valid addiction. But I don’t believe in this excuse because even if it is an addiction there is always the fact that they can choose to not cheat. We always have a choice in life and they chose to cheat on you instead of being a bigger man and taking the right path.

3. It wasn’t their fault because she seduced him.

No woman can force your man to have sex with them. Unless she drugged him or had an object that could kill him ready to strike, he has the choice to say no and walk away.

4. It makes them feel sexy and wanted.

There are other ways to feel sexy that don’t involve cheating. Even just someone flirting with you can make you feel good about yourself and give you a spring in your step for a while. They didn’t need to go past innocent flirting to get that feeling of sexy.

5. Strictly for revenge on something you did.

That a petty excuse and as the old say goes ‘two wrongs does not make a right’.

6. Because they have gotten away with it before.

If you or someone else has let them get away with cheating before than they may just stick with this one every single time they get caught. How can you argue the fact that there’s never been any consequences before so why should there be consequences now? You can’t. But you can give him that consequence now and get rid of him.

7. It is exciting and they get a huge adrenaline rush from it and it makes them feel alive!

Yes you do get a high and adrenaline rush from cheating but you also get it from other things that does not betray your partners trust and hurt other people in the process. They could go skydiving or bungee jumping instead.

These excuses will not come out until they either get caught or their guilt gets the best of them.

If you suspect they are cheating watch for a difference in the way they talk, walk, and act in general. They are going to be feeling some of those things that are listed above like sexy, and excited, and they will probably act a lot like they did when they first got together with you and your relationship was fresh and new.

Do you have your suspicions that he is cheating on you and want some more ideas about what you look for, how to act, and what to do when you find out? If you do then visit my cheating page and find out more.
