Eye Strain Prevention

When we are with other people talking face to face we increase our blink rate.  When we are by ourselves we may only blink 20 times per minute. We stare at our computer, IPhone and other tech screens. Our eyes are so important. I just received this eye strain prevention link given by fellow speaker Teresa Duncan at SpeakerNetNews and wanted to share it with you.

“To reduce eyestrain I’ve started using the program Eyeleo (eyeleo.com) that prompts you to perform simple eye exercises throughout the day. After using it for a week I no longer have tired, burning eyes at the end of the day.”

Flash Mob Performance in Seattle

Here is a video of a flash mob performance in Seattle. I love the energy. Personally I would love to be part of one. It would have been great if suddenly after my speech at Johnson and Wales this past week a flash mob of dancers practiced their isopraxism.

Look at this video now and anytime you need a lift.

How to Get Glee through Isopraxism

Last summer on Sunday night I would stand up in the living room and dance around singing. On various nights I was moving and vocalizing like a Lady Gaga, Tina Turner or Kate Perry wanna be. I was pulled into the energy of the kids performances on a TV show. Isopraxism at work. All this to the amusement of everyone around including Bo the wonder dog who thinks my singing is mesmerizing and who is always willing to dance with me. After all his name is Bojangels Robinson.  

Why was I singing and dancing so jubilantly? Because Sunday night the Glee Project was on.  It’s a reality show with real teenagers trying out for a spot on the TV show Glee. It was a positive show. One with truly talented singers. If you haven’t seen it there are clips on the internet. My favorite was a sweet rendition of Blackbird in a final competition.  Check the link in my next post for the flash mob dance to promote the next season of Glee that shows Isopraxism, the pull towards the same energy.
