The Gift of Wellness Technology is the Best Gift of All

Published on by Nikken

What do you think of when you see the term “wellness technology”? Do apps come to mind? Meditation guidance, sleep sounds, white noise, heartbeat monitors, mood rings, step counters—gadgets galore—it seems like there’s a new one on the market every day!

Our founder started Nikken by producing Kenko Insoles. A single product that combines the wisdom of nature with magnetic technology led to the creation of many more. This year, Nikken celebrates 50 years of sharing advanced products with the world. Some notable innovations include the Kenko Sleep System, Kenko MagDuo®, KenkoTherm® wraps, the Kenko PowerChip®, Kenko PowerMini®, the Kenko Precision Set, Kenko PowerBand®, Kenko® Jewelry, the KenkoGround® and more.

As diverse as Nikken products are, they share one thing in common, just like the original insoles: They are inspired by mother nature and utilize state-of-the-art technology to produce balance, calm and relaxation, both physically and mentally. Kenko product lines fall under the categories of magnetic, ceramic reflective and grounding technologies. Each of these technologies enhance health and wellness. Every one of these Nikken products works to enhance empowered living—how often you use them is up to you, but consistency brings the best results.

Think about it: magnetic, grounding and ceramic reflective technologies are all forms of wellness technology! During a time of global turmoil, peace of mind is the one gift that everyone will welcome this season. Peace of mind will bring heightened focus, clarity, creativity and balance into a lifestyle filled with purpose and mindfulness. That is the foundation of empowered living.

A gift of wellness technology, which you can individualize to each person on your gift list, will show just how much you care. Because wellness technology can help transform daily habits, they ultimately may help your recipients live happier and healthier lives—what better way is there to show your care and consideration?

Do You Follow Through?

Published on by Nikken

There are many types of people and each has notable strengths and weaknesses. Some naturally lead, others are strong in executing plans, and the rare ones do both. Regardless of your personality or strengths, follow-through is what propels you to closing the deal, completing a project, sealing a relationship, achieving a goal or honoring a commitment.

Knowing what you want to achieve is important, but setting a concrete deadline is equally crucial. Set a deadline that will drive you to follow through to ultimate success. The deadline should be one that you can work with, be accountable for and help you stay on track. Setting realistic, timely goals is the key to achieving them.

Often in our lives, not following through may have consequences. Follow-through may not always be pleasant, but without it, there is no reward. Here are a few tips to make follow-through easier:

•          Break tasks down into do-able parts. No task is too trivial to be part of the whole.

•          Do one thing at a time. This requires focus. Multi-tasking splits your focus and often ends with nothing being actually completed, and many things half-done.

•          Commit to completing a specific activity within a specified amount of time.

•          Think ahead and prioritize. What is most necessary to be done immediately vs. what can wait? Or, what can be completely crossed off your list?

•          Understand what motivates you. You are much more likely to follow through if you are motivated. Are you motivated by material rewards, emotional fulfillment, camaraderie, prestige, etc.? Once you determine what motivates you, you will be able to reward yourself accordingly.

•          Be real. Is there too much on your plate? Are you taking on too many things with too short a deadline? People-pleasers have the hardest time saying ‘No’ but it’s imperative to be realistic in order to follow through on what is most important.

•          Manage your time. There are 24 hours in the day and they are yours to schedule, so be clear on what activities require the most energy. Remember to factor in some down time so you can breathe, relax and keep burnout at bay.  This may require “padding” your blocks of times so you have a little extra leeway with each task.

Whether you’re easily distracted or totally engaged, follow-through is easier when you block time to work without having to answer calls, check social media or reply to emails. Distractions are everywhere, but remember that you are in control: you can mute the phone and shut off notifications on all devices. Let’s approach the final months of the year with determination and follow-through!
