is the key to leading a healthy and positive life. We must balance our lives in many ways; our jobs, our
families, our relationships, our physical and emotional well being. If we lack balance in any area of our life, that imbalance will show up somewhere, negatively. Thanks to the insistence and support of my two sisters, April and Suzette, I enrolled in
The
Landmark Forum, a powerful seminar that changed the course of my life. I am grateful to them and I too share the Forum with many others I care about. |
Eat right. It's just too damn easy not to though. I have been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes so balance is crucial. I try to feed my body, not my appetite. Food is fuel and although we can at times eat for sheer pleasure (like at the Sushi Bar),
we should strive for balanced nutrition.
Create, Create, Create. Draw, sing, write. Activities such as these keep
us healthy and alert. We all work, we all play. It is also important to keep in touch with our creative child regardless of what the activity
might be. Find a hobby. Everyone can color or draw or write poetry. It's true! Do it! Do it often and regularly. Write in a journal everyday. It will improve
your outlook. I love doing
charcoal drawings. I love drawing animals, but my favorite subject is drawing the human figure. I also love building computers, especially high performance fire-breathing machines with lots of memory and high performance processors. "Dude, I ain't gettin' no Dell"!

Vigorous and frequent. Exercise is the basis for well being. Without exercise,
I really founder and my over-all wellness suffers. I continue to learn that for me, exercise
a crucial component of the overall equation. It should become part of everyday living. Too often people look at it as a chore (I know I have), not as a pleasurable time out from the other things they do. It's body play. It burns calories, reduces stress, burns fat, and strengthens the heart.
