A matter of choice
Immaturity is thinking that you have all the
answers. Wisdom is knowing that you don't.
Weakness is wanting to control everything
around you. Strength is gracefully accepting
and valuing what is. Insecurity is the constant,
gnawing desire to have more and more.
Confidence is knowing that you already are
enough. Failure is thinking that you can
advance yourself by pushing others down.
Succe
ss is understanding that the more you lift
others up, the more you'll be lifted yourself.
Despair is committing yourself to shallow,
superficial things that too soon will wither and
die. Joy is filling your world and your life with
the things that truly matter. Every moment, you
are fully capable of living with wisdom, strength,
confidence, success and joy. It's not a matter
of chance, but always a matter of choice. And
you can make the choices now that will surely
take you there.  
Hello. I've been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years.   I've
learned that there must be balance of body, mind and spirit for
there to be wellness.  If any one of these components are off
balance, everything is affected.   
My site is devoted to wellness....Wellness is an active
process of
becoming
aware of and making choices toward a more successful
existence.
Process means that improvement is always possible
Aware means that we are continuously seeking more information
about how we can improve.
Choices means that we consider a variety of options and select
those in our best interest.
Success is determined by each individual.
I have listed 6 steps to wellness below. Have a blessed day.

6 STEPS TO WELLNESS


1. Become more knowledgeable about your health status .  Make
a commitment to read at least one health article each month.
2. Make at least one health promise to yourself and keep it!
Example, "I promise to eat five vegetables/fruits per day."

3. Schedule your annual physical exam.  If you haven't had your
pelvic this year, remember that your reproductive and sexual
health are important to your total health and well-being.  Men,
also get your colon and prostrate checked.

4. Foster supportive and healthy relationships.
Nurture friendships and relationships that sustain you, and

END
those that drain or dishonor you.  Negative attracts
negative....( Law Of Attraction)

5. Create an altar. Place pictures, candles and other things that
bring you peace.  Pray or meditate, ask your Supreme Being  
for the peace and joy that comes from a spirit-filled life.

6. Make physical exercise a part of your daily life.  Find big and
small ways to be active. Do sit-ups, walk during lunchtime or join
an exercise or dance class.  Maintain a healthy weight.

This is your life…It’s never too late to make a change.  We must
ensure that our health-mental, physical and spiritual-is intact.

Good luck and God Bless.
The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.
When you take an active role in your own life, things are far
more likely to go well for you. It's easy to blame your troubles
on such influences as the weather, the government, the
economy, the media or the culture. Yet it can be exceedingly
difficult to do anything about those things. Instead, step up
and accept responsibility for all the factors that affect your
life. When you take responsibility, what you get is control.
Even if you didn't create the situation, look first to yourself
to create a positive and successful response to it. Even if the
challenges you face are not your fault, begin to treat them as
your responsibility and you will begin to have control over
them. See your future not as the inevitable result of your
past. Visualize your future as the best, most positive, most
valuable, most creative response to your present possibilities.
Your future can be so much more than a mere extrapolation
of your past. Take responsibility, and your future will
express the best of who you are.
