A Balanced Perspective Weekly 1. Controlling the e-mail Monsters --- ORLANDO TONIGHT: I will be teaching at Chamberlins this evening at 7pm. See you there! --- 1. Controlling the E-mail Monsters E-mail provides us a great way to keep in touch, but for many of us it can become so overwhelming. Some of us are addicted, constantly checking our e-mail for messages. Many of us have hundreds of e-mails in our inboxes. We think: "I'll get to that one later." But more and more just keep piling up. So, how can you control your e-mail infestation and dependency? Here are some ideas that might help. 1. Don't let your e-mails get beyond one page's worth. Everyday I make sure my inbox has no more e-mails in it than I can see on one page. If e-mails go beyond a page I answer more of them, prioritize and delete things I really don't need, or file it. 2. Create files. This way you can clean out your inbox quickly and have files that will help you to find things when you need them. For instance, I always get e-mails for fun things happening in the city. I don't want to delete it, so I file it in an events folder. When I'm looking for something to do, I just go to the events folder and see what's happening. 3. Check e-mail only at designated times. 4. Answer e-mails as you read them. It's very easy to put off answering an e-mail. Just make a decision about your reply and go ahead and respond. 5. Call to respond instead of e-mailing back. 6. I said this first, but clean out your e-mail box everyday. There are a lot of e-mails sitting there that you probably don't need. I know deleting is hard, but sometimes you have to just do it. Getting rid of the clutter will be freeing. Have a terrific weekend everyone! Hope to see you in the fall cooking classes!

Melissa ------ "I thought by going to Melissa I would get a few dieting tips, some new recipes to try at home, maybe lose 2 or 3 pounds, and walk away feeling pretty good about myself. What I received from my sessions with Melissa was so much more! Melissa went to the root of my "troubles" and concerns, she lead me to a place where I could let go, forgive, and be more proactive about my dreams. Since Melissa, I have been dancing and performing more than ever and feeling much more positive about my life and career. I sought out Melissa to lose five pounds yet, in the end, I wound up gaining so much more than anticipated. I have filled my life with so much meaningful matter that craving healthy foods has come naturally and I desire them in order to support my lifestyle. My achieved weight loss ended up being just an added bonus." -CB, Dancer, NYC ------- 2. Happy Birthday to My Niece Alexis This is a shout out to my neice Alexis! She turns ----- 3.
