What is your vision for wellness?

Now that you have taken a peek into the future, how do you look and feel?

With any change, take it slowly and realistically. What changes would you like to incorporate into your health/wellness lifestyle? Life does not have to be a struggle - so don't make it so. Take a few minutes to write down your wishes and goals, and some ideas to make achieving them fun! Planning is the best way to success. You could begin with (for example):

My wishes/goals for the next three months:

1. Exercise - play frisbee with the dog for 30 minutes once a week.
- walk 2 miles two times per week
- take the children to the park once a week (and play with them, don't just sit)
- park your car farther from the front door of your work, get some extra steps

2. Food - 1/2 of my plate will contain live food, full of enzymes that will nourish me!
- I will take my morning and afternoon snacks to work with me every day

3. Stress - I will cope with stress better by taking 5 deep breaths every hour and notice
how shallow my breathing has become - and I will change that!
- I will realize I can only control myself - not others

Get your imagination going...you are planning the rest of your life!!!

Want to see into the future?

This technique can be fun - and it can also be alarming.

Would you like to see what you might look like in 20 years?

1. Think about your eating habits, sleeping habits, drinking, emotional life, your attitude, your exercise level (couch potato?) - you get the picture.

2. Now think about someone you know that mirrors your style of living and is 20 years older than you are right now.

3. Notice their health, skin tone, level of agility/flexibility, cognitive thinking, mental attitude, zest for life...are they always focused on their aches and pains? (you manifest what you focus on) Does their body skin sag...face look like leather...hair completely white?

4. Now, visualize yourself in 20 years - how do you look and feel with your present wellness program? Do you need to make some changes?

This can be a life changing exercise.

Next, the game plan for wellness.
