Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

1) taking personal responsibility and initiative,
2) getting clear about what's important to you and setting goals,
3) putting those priorities first and being disciplined,
4) seeking mutual benefit in all interactions with others -- the golden rule,
5) seeking to understand others from their perspective first before making your point,
6) valuing differences and creating third-alternative solutions to problems that are better than "my way" or "your way," and
7) taking care of and renewing yourself in all four areas of life -- body, mind, heart and spirit.
-- Stephen R. Covey

After reading these habits I went back and looked at some of my life goals I had written. I am realizing I need to work on renewing myself in my body, mind, heart, and spirit. I started doing yoga again this past week and have noticed a difference already in my anxiety levels! I also made a list of ways I could practice "self love" and wrote them on index cards. I plan on picking one out of the pile when I am having a stressful or emotional day!! Another goal was to reconnect with friends and family each week whether it is a text, letter, card, email, or call on my way home from work! It's incredible how much this lifts my spirit!! :) What are you doing each day in order to become an effective person? Remember to look at all aspects of your life! We grow and learn each day! I know I am always looking for ways to become a better person!!

Alkalize Your Diet-Restore Your Health

Too Much Acid in Your Body Can Cause Health Problems!

Most people do not feel any where near as good as they could. The vast majority of people believe that their lack of energy and health is just part of the aging process.

The funny thing is, so many people have nagging health problems. They don't have a clue. And that really makes sense when you consider the types of foods they are eating day-to-day, and the dangerous, often toxic, medications they have used throughout life.

For many years mainstream medicine ignored the role that diet can play in both health and disease. More recently it began emphasizing the need to eat healthier foods to keep illness at bay.
