Adultitis Case Study #3: Halloween
Don't let Halloween pass you by without having at least a little bit of fun. Halloween is one of the only holidays left that is still mostly just about fun. No gift giving expectations, crowded stores, or extreme busyness. That doesn't mean Halloween can't be ruined by Adultitis, as this latest case study video from the Cure Adultitis Institute attests. If there was ever a holiday in which you shouldn't take yourself too seriously, this is the one. Have some fun. At the very least, keep the broccoli in the freezer.

New Speaking Video Released
Kim and I have been enjoying a respite from all of the traveling for speaking engagements we've done over the last month. We'll be in Brillion, Wisconsin this Wednesday and in California for Halloween. For now, it's nice to be home, enjoying the autumn weather, and getting some things checked off the to-do list. One of those checked-off things was finally getting a chance to put the finishing touches on our new speaking demo video. For those of you interested, it offers a taste of what sorts of things we do. …
They Pick Me Up
As Jason mentioned the other day, we recently worked with Enterprise to rent a car during our week of road trips while our car was in the shop. I am consistently impressed with this company, and it's not just the local branch in Madison, it's everywhere! The employees are friendly and sincere, and they go above and beyond to make you their number one priority. They do the little things like walk you to your car, offer you a bottle of water, turn the car on for you, and ask for feedback on their service. They do business the way it should be done, in service to their clients, with smiles on …

Don’t Quit
My friend and colleague Jill Fleming is a Registered Dietitian and wellness speaker who travels the world encouraging people to make "Love Your Body Choices." She recently shared an article for our soon-to-be-released Escape Adulthood magazine. (It's at the printer!) One of the tips in her article is . . . "Squeeze any muscle you wish to tone. Hold it until it starts to burn and then hold 5-seconds longer." Great tip! It also applies to following your dreams. In order to get to the next level in your goals you have to not only let it burn, you have to persist through the burn. Too many …

Sam and Soph from Sydney are two of the latest people from around the world up for the Escape Plan Challenge. They're fed up with Adultitis, and are posting the details of their adventure on their blog, The Fountainside. The Escape Plan is fun, and it's made even funner (I know, "more fun," but "funner" is funner!) when couples and friends tackle it together.

So far, they've added some art to their fridge, enjoyed a mud mask, wrote down some big dreams, determined that Soph's mouth can hold only 56.52173913% of the total …
A Cheap Way to Fight Office Adultitis
I have never worked in a cubicle (I'm not counting my nightmares), but I have worked in quite a few jobs in which I swear the hands on the time clock were engineered to go backwards every few hours. Fortunately, those jobs were stepping stones for me; catalysts that would inspire me to never slip into a career that bored me. So far, so good. If you're stuck in a job that started out as a stepping stone but has morphed into a well-worn rut, you may want to take a long hard look at your life. Seriously, follow those last three links and read up. For those of you perfectly content sticking …
