The
Top 10 Reasons Why a Healthy Person Is
a Successful Person
Most
people agree that good health is an essential
ingredient for a good life. By putting
your health first and respecting your
needs your life and your business will
benefit.
1. Exercise tames tension.
The number-one tension tamer is exercise.
It releases endorphins, which shut down
your body’s stress response. You
cannot control the moods of people around
you, but you can control your response
to them. With exercise, you are more relaxed
and are able to anticipate rather than
merely react to issues.
2. You have energy to burn.
Your day goes smoothly when you are
in good physical condition. You will catch
your bus, ferry, train have a good day
at work and then still have energy to
play at night.
3. Prevent major illnesses.
By focusing on preventative care now,
you save yourself grief and higher costs
on your health care later. For example,
the focus of nutrition has moved from
the issues of deficiencies toward chronic
disease (cardiovascular disease, cancer
and diabetes).
4. You enjoy a positive outlook
on life.
Looking at the brighter side of things
makes you 50% less likely to have a heart
attack than your pessimistic friends.
5. You eat to live-- not live
to eat.
Instead of inhaling 1 or 2 big meals
a day, you spread food across many meals.
By developing nutritional awareness and
paying attention to what your body is
telling you, you savor your food as you
savor life.
6. You decide when to drink not
the circumstances.
You do not need alcohol to network or
to loosen-up at functions. You are already
light.
7. Water fuels your life's processes.
At a minimum, you need 6 glasses a day.
Water is essential for life. Have a bottle
of water at your desk, in your car and
take it with you as you commute to remind
yourself to drink, drink, drink.
8. You are simply, irresistibly
attractive as work is only one part of
your life.
You have a well rounded life . People,
relationships and interests enhance and
add richness to your life.
9. Experience virtually no stress.
You experience few stress-related symptoms
(headaches, digestive problems, backaches)
and are more effective because you have
your boundaries established and honored.
A stress-free life is your gain.
10. You are a model.
When discussing personal integrity and
a healthy lifestyle, you are your number
one advocate. Do it for yourself!

Book of The Month
Put the telescope away;
the North Star mentioned here is a human
body, not a heavenly one. And like Polaris,
which has guided sailors for centuries,
the human body's gut feelings and emotions
can help guide a wayward soul back to
his or her "essential self."
In this absorbing combination
of detailed self-awareness exercises and
true stories from her own counseling experience
(equal parts sobering and hysterically
entertaining), Harvard-trained sociologist
Martha Beck invites readers to explore
their heart's desires and the vast social
webs that keep such desires in check.
The goal is not to forsake the "social
self" and indulge every emotional
impulse of the "essential self."
Rather, Beck gives readers the tools and
the encouragement to achieve maximum happiness
by harmonizing these typically divergent
voices.
Beck admits that repairing a damaged emotional
compass and setting out on such a vital
journey--which often involves painful
realizations and changes--"has all
the combined attractions of suicide and
childbirth." But the payoff, she
concludes, is a love affair with real
life. To that end, she walks readers through
a lengthy exercise to evaluate their current
lifestyle's pleasures and pains, teaches
the process of listening to the body for
directional cues, describes how to extract
"soul shrapnel" (healing all
those nasty, self-defeating emotional
wounds), and provides an intriguing "Map
of Change" to achieve an authentic
life.
Beck's impressive knowledge,
her engaging (if somewhat irreverent)
voice, and her ability to parse this scary
process into achievable steps make her
a new champion in the self-help arena.
--Liane Thomas
Concerning
all acts of initiative and creation, there
is one elementary truth the ignorance
of which kills countless ideas and splendid
plans: that the moment one definitely
commits oneself, the Providence moves
too.
All
sorts of things occur to help one that
would never otherwise have occurred. A
whole stream of events issue from the
decision, raising in one's favor all manner
of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and
material assistance which no man can have
dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever
you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in
it. Begin it now.
W.H. Murray
