Striving for a healthy body

This week I had reason to reflect on Chapter 11 where emphasis is on striving for a healthy body and mind.  Vitality and well being go hand in hand with a well balanced diet and exercise which in turn will help increase stamina and overcome stress, frustration and depression.

How come I changed focus in this chapter? Without vitality it is hard to meet the challenges that can come our way.  Things like your car breaks down; your rental gets sold under your nose; the process of getting back into a stable residence; dealing with agents; chasing up paper work; adjusting to rising costs of a home/rental can be exhausting.

Clues that will help keep a clear mind and lower stress levels will help, for example, listening to relaxing music, walking along the ocean shore, deep slow inhaling and exhaling, talk to a trusted friend and so on.  In fact anything that helps bring positive thoughts and a clear approach to go forward.
