Healthtronics. At first I couldn't understand why you would be involved with a urological equipment company. But, after doing some further research, I came across your version of Healthtronics and was delighted to see it had nothing to do with peeing. I whole heartedly agree with every tenet of the program and admit my heart raced when I read them because they mirror my life so completely (further proof we should be friends, my good man). For those 6 readers out there who are unfamiliar with Healthtronics, let me enlighten you (the explanations are mine, not Jason's).
1. The camera doesn't lie. In other words, take care of your health (whether you are being filmed or not). This tenet is my least favorite, although it is probably the most important. I mean, it would be hard to follow the other tenets if I were dead.2. Be kind. I've always believed a person gets much further by being kind than by being an ass...and it just feels better.
3. Pursue your passion with vigor. I absolutely love teaching and pursue it passionately. If you are not fortunate enough to be doing something you are passionate about, I weep for you. Find something that makes you excited to get up in the morning and then do it!
4. Don't hate, congratulate. I think this one connects nicely to #2. Be happy for those who find success and happiness, and eventually those things will come your way, too. I also appreciate that it rhymes - yes, I am a complete dork.
5. Control your breathing. I think this can be interpreted broadly. When I am exasperated with kids at work, I stop and breathe deeply (or make them take deep breaths) and immediately gain better perspective on the situation. I hear breathing helps during labor, too, but don't take my word for it. Hah! That totally makes me think of Reading Rainbow. Oh, Levar Burton, I adore you.
I will help you spread your good word, Jason. Put me down for one Healthtronics t-shirt and bumper sticker.
