In my recent article I suggest an approach to wellness that I found useful post-divorce. See what you think. It starts like this:
Does the thought of
creating a wellness plan trigger fear of deprivation, pain and suffering? You
may worry about a diet free from unhealthy foods, the physical pain involved in
starting an exercise program or the suffering of trying to make good choices when
it would be so much easier to have that drink, smoke that cigarette or enjoy
that chocolate cake.
As much as you
try to avoid it, you can't help but notice that, in the news again, is the advice to eat more fruits
and vegetables and less meat and sugar. It's time to take that advice to heart.
With heartfelt
caring for your mind, body and spirit, I suggest an Eastern approach to
practicing wellness. I borrow from the Buddhist eightfold path, tenets to apply
to your wellness plan. May it ease your suffering and enliven your plan to try:
Right Speech
Stop undermining your plan by being washy washy about
how many times a week you'll get to the gym or whether you can really live
without your favorite fast food.
