For those of you who think the year
is already over, let me inform you that at midday today, you will have arrived
at the year’s halfway point.
I don’t know
about anyone else, but this gives me tremendous courage and encouragement.
The halfway
mark is a reason to celebrate and review
First; let’s
review.
How is your
BODY?
Are you sleeping better, moving more (inside and out?) Are you drinking
more water and eating six small meals a day. Are you cleansing, exfoliating and
moisturizing your skin? Are you touching and being touched? Do you laugh and
enable someone else to do so? Do you Dance?
Because true wellness is not just
about the body, let’s review for the mind and spirit as well
Do you
exercise your mind? Are you learning new things and sharing them? Are you challenging
yourself and your old ideas; are you replacing them with new ones. Are you reading
or learning a new language; nothing fires the brain like these. Are you sharing
your stories, good and the rough? Are you still? Have you taken the role of others
and considered ways to stimulate folks to kindness and love? Are you thinking
more clearly?
We do not have a spirit; we have a body
and are spirit. Its
needs are not great, but they must be met because at the core; this is who you
are.
Are you Love; a reflection of
creation and The Creator?
It’s so easy
to write, but sometimes hard to achieve.
You may have noticed that I have not
asked about the amount of weight you have lost because wellness is not about
how much weight you lose; it’s about how much life you gain.
I’m sure
that there is much more that I could have reviewed, but now it’s time to
celebrate.
A sober person would not celebrate
sobriety with a drink; so I will not celebrate this milestone with things that
would have hindered me from getting here.
We are halfway through
the year; what can you do with the rest of it?
Be you, be well, be
complete.
