MAIN FEATURE

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

There are big benefits to mentally connecting with your body’s movement. Muscle movements begin in the brain. If you visualize an exercise with specific muscle movement, as you do it, you can train your brain to send stronger signals. It’s like a form of meditation to focus on the muscle that you are using to become more in tune with your body. On the other side of the pendulum, exercise can strengthen your brain and benefit emotional and mental health too. Mind over muscle. As you are working out, picture your muscles contracting as you move through an exercise. For example, if you are doing tricep extensions, imagine the tricep muscle contracting and lengthening as you lift the weight up and lower it behind you. Muscle to regulate mind. Regular exercise, especially cardio, has a powerful way of strength-training the brain. It stimulates a protein which acts like fertilizer on the neurons in our brain. This powerful protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) helps your body grow new neurons in the brain to improve ability to learn new skills and information. BDNF also regenerates old and worn out neurons that contribute to loss of memory, mood disorders, and inability to focus. Movement is medicine and can be the first step treatment for stress, fatigue or feeling unfocused. “Don’t try to rush progress. Remember – a step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction.” --Kara Goucher

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT • • • • •

What is your favorite way to spend a weekend? Brunch with friends, long walks along Hudson River Park, binging my favorite Bravo shows, and going to my nephew’s baseball games. What is the best career advice you have ever heard? “Be a life-long learner” If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Skiathos – it is an island in Greece. It is picturesque, relaxing yet buzzy enough, and has the best beaches I’ve ever been to. Also, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn live there so that makes it 10x chicer. If you could have a superpower, what would it be? To read people’s minds. I always think of the social commentary behind the movie “What Women Want” by Nancy Meyers, whom is one of my favorite filmmakers. I tend to overanalyze day-to-day interactions, so that would certainly be a cool superpower to have! What 3 traits define you? Honesty, loyalty, and dependability

By the way, Congratulations to Emily who recently passed the Bar!!!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS The Thanksgiving holiday reminds us to take some time from our busy workdays to think about what we are grateful for. Here are some sentiments from some of our TEI staff:

“I am thankful and grateful for my health and that of my family, for those I love, for my home and my pup.” --Natalie Diaz “I am thankful for our family’s continued good health, that those family members who caught Covid have recovered and suffered no long-term symptoms. I am even more grateful that we will be able to gather with extended family and friends this year, returning to long standing tradition that was disrupted last year!” --Jill Weinman “To Natalie, Williams College is lucky to have supportive alumni like you. Go Ephs! To Zach, thank you for your mentorship and patience throughout my first few months at TEI. It’s been great getting to learn from you. To Judy, I always enjoy getting to chat with you. Happy to have you as my office desk neighbor.” --Oscar Merino “I am most thankful for being alive and for the friends and family who are too.” --Roberta Axelrod “I am thankful for my family, our health, our freedoms & civil liberties & all of our blessings.” --Nicole Brown “I am thankful for the warm welcome from everyone at Time Equities as I began this new phase of my career at TEI in 2021.” --Landon Goodman “I am most thankful for my family’s health, having another birthday and looking forward to the next chapter of my life.” --Beatrice Aquino
