QUOTE:
"Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body."
- Joseph Addison
INSPIRATION:
I love to be with my granddaughter because she smiles all the time. The simplest thing like running water will get her to smile. We were all like that once - smiling at things just because everything brought us joy. What happened that we lost it? Did we get so busy and so grown-up that we failed to enjoy the important things the little things?
ACTION:
Today, become that child again. Look at the wonder of your world and smile. Every day there is a multitude of wonders that surround you - take time to appreciate them - take time to smile at every person you encounter. It will cost you nothing but your rewards will be enormous.

True Friendship...
QUOTE:
"True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
- Charles Caleb Colton
INSPIRATION:
I talked about this a few weeks ago when I felt the reason some are not healthy is because of their failure to realize the importance of it in their lives. There are few things as precious as one’s health and for many they are too blind to see it until it is too late. I think of the person who has to have a heart attack before they realize that their lifestyle and stress levels are causing it. Hopefully they will be given a second chance to change but some are not to fortunate.
ACTION:
Do you consider yourself healthy?
Are you doing all the right things that insure you will continue to experience good health? If not, why not?
What are you waiting for? Not everyone is guaranteed second chances. Make the most of what you have. Focus on getting rid of anything that would rob you of your health.

Your Mental State...
QUOTE:
"A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings."
- James Allen
INSPIRATION:
I feel that this area is much overlooked by many as being healthy and that is our mental health. When we are at peace with the world and there is joy in our hearts then there is health in our bones. When there is discord in our inner man then it reflects in a multitude of ailments in our bodies. They say that 85% of all diseases in our body are caused by our mental state.
ACTION:
Today if you are struggling with a physical condition why don’t you take an inventory of your current mental state? Do you have any anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, resentment, envy, jealousy, or any other negative feeling that you may be harboring in your body? These negative emotions have a direct bearing on your well-being and health. If you do have any of these negative emotions then purpose to do whatever is necessary to rectify it so as to live in good health.

Never Risk Your Health...
Welcome to February. The theme for February is "HEALTH". Enjoy!
QUOTE:
"To get rich never risk your health. For it is the truth that health is the wealth of wealth."
- Richard Baker
INSPIRATION:
How very true. So often I see smart intelligent people do very stupid things when it comes to their health. I cannot stress enough that when you have lost your health nothing else really matters. Ask anyone who has lost their health what they would trade for it back and they will reply everything. So why is it that health is so important that people fail to take care of themselves to insure that they stay healthy? I think the reason is that people take their health for granted. We live in an affluent society that has easy access to all kinds of medical resources and so we don’t put a premium on our staying healthy.
ACTION:
Today make an inventory of any things that you do that is destructive to your health. Some items may be eating the wrong foods, or eating too much food, or not exercising, or allowing negative stress to get to you or bad habits (smoking or excessive drinking) just to name a few. Be honest. Ask yourself a very simple question...Will what I am doing make me more healthy or less? If the answer is "less than", ask yourself what do I need to do to change?
