I picked up a flyer the other day entitled “6 Essentials for Life - Your choices matter”. I’d like to share the 6 Essentials with you because I found the content both motivating and interesting. Unfortunately, the author’s name wasn’t on the flyer, but thank you for writing it.

The choices you make in six essential areas determine whether you follow a lifestyle that results in permanent good health or one that can lead to distress, illness, depression …. an unbalanced system that leads to disease.

1. What you eat: Your diet should consist of approximately 75% fruits and vegetables and 25% everything else. This keeps your body alkaline (its natural state) instead of acidic and helps prevent injury and disease.
2. What you drink: Avoid stimulants such as coffee and alcohol. Drink mostly fruit juices and pure water.
3. How you exercise: Get 30 minutes of whole body exercise three times a week. Help your body stay flexible. You’ll be surprised how good it feels and how the tendency to suffer injuries is reduced.
4. How you rest: Good sleep every night is essential to your body’s ability to heal and recharge itself. Avoid stimulants and heavy meals before you go to sleep.
5. What you breathe: Clean, smoke-free air is also essential to permanent good health. If you can smell the air you breathe, it is probably not healthy.
6. What you think: This by far, is the most important of the six! What you think about, you bring about. Think about what you think about and cancel out your negative or judgemental thoughts with positive loving ones. And, don’t forget to forgive.
