TEN TIPS FOR WELLNESS
- YOU'RE IN CHARGE!
Advice can come from many sources but ultimately it is your choices that most affect the quality of your health and life.
- SEEK A WAY TO GET PAID TO DO WHAT YOU ENJOY.
It is very difficult to be well if you can't express your talents and passions at work, in some manner.
- CHANGE IS THE NORM-DEAL WITH IT.
Coming to terms with the fact that change is inevitable and happening at a faster pace than ever before will help you deal more effectively with the fact that nothing stays the same.
- DOCTORS AND DRUGS ARE OVERRATED.
Your lifestyle choices, including your attitudes/beliefs/emotional responses and actions, have more impact on your health than doctors, medications, the economy, your income level, your age, your employer or your luck.
- FUN IS SERIOUS.
Wellness is too important to be pursued grimly. Whatever your choices, make sure you're having fun.
- MODERN MEDICINE IS GOOD BUT.
Modern medicine's a wonderful thing BUT there are two problems: people expect too much of it and too little of themselves.
- EXCELLENCE TRUMPS BALANCE.
Balance is good but there are times when you have to put it aside to pursue a passion or heroic quest.
- DON'T GIVE UP ANYTHING!
At least not initially, as it is better to take up healthy practices than to give up unhealthy habits, at least initially when trying to enhance the quality of your lifestyle. For example, you are better advised to take up a satisfying activity like vigorous walking before you attempt to quit smoking.
- EXCELLENCE IS NO ACCIDENT.
Lifestyle quality or an advanced state of well being is seldom achieved by accident—you have to make a choice to live and work this way.
- THERE IS STILL TIME.
It's never too late to start a wellness lifestyle—while alive. Or, stated another way, "Exercise vigorously every day until you die when, for the first time in your life, it won't matter anymore."
Good luck. Enjoy and be as well as possible. Visit Don Ardell's website at www.wellnessweb.com.
