2005 LOS ANGELES – January 24,
2005. The
record-breaking performances of the While the state's housing market has made significant advances every
year since 1995, with the exception of a slight pause in 2001, housing
affordability is a growing concern that could negatively impact the long-term
health of the housing market and the "The fate of the housing market will be tied mainly to the
direction of the economy," said C.A.R. Vice President and Chief
Economist Leslie Appleton-Young. "The greatest concern surrounds the
current increase in the use of low downpayment and interest-only ARMs. If the
economy should weaken and trigger job losses, there is potential for today's
marginally qualified homebuyers to be tomorrow's foreclosure." [ Source - California Association of
REALTORS® (C.A.R.) ”2004 – 2005 State of the Housing Market” report ] A FITNESS PLAN FOR
YOUR MIND Clearly there is a payoff for both employees and
employers who encourage and support fitness and health. There’s plenty of evidence
to prove healthy people are more productive. But amid all the body building,
it’s just as important to exercise your mind. To keep your brain, as well as your body, in shape
you should: §
Read constantly,
especially about how you can improve your skills, and then follow them
through. §
Spend some time each day
on the treadmill of routine activities. Getting them off your mind is like
shedding unwanted pounds. You’ll feel better and the tougher, more complex
tasks won’t seem so daunting. §
Meet or talk regularly
with others to discuss new ideas and career plans. You may need a few mentors
and coaches to help you reach your goals. §
Treat decision-making as
you’re an athlete trying to see how many sit-ups you can do. Start with a few
that are easy, then work your way up to the more difficult ones. In time,
you’ll have the stamina to handle many decisions with little effort. §
View problem solving as an
exercise bike that lets you gradually increase pedal pressure. Gets the kinks
out with some straightaway easy problems, so you’ll be able to deal with the
more uphill ones. §
Think yourself as a
swimmer, but don’t specialise in just one stroke. In today’s workplace, you
must prepare for the possibility that you’ll change careers several times - a
freestyle relay event. §
Move around within your
organisation whenever you can to gain more skills that could lead to
promotion. §
Give your mind the same
break you would your body when exhausted. Set aside a little time each day to
let your brain bask in a mental sauna. This will prepare you for future hard
exercise.
