Improving Our Well-Being

Dr. Weil is my go to guy on all matters pertaining to health. He offers up the right mix of the conventional(he is a physician) with the alternative. Dr. Weil always looks to deal with the cause of the problem or illness, not just the signs.
Below he provides some thoughts on how to enhance your spiritual health and well-being. I don't know how 'spiritual' the following is but what he has to say can certainly improve your well-being.

"Connect with nature. You can do this by walking or sitting in a natural setting. Just allow yourself to absorb the surroundings.

Make a list of people in your life whose company you feel more alive, happy and optimistic. Make an effort to spend more time with them.

Bring flowers into your home and enjoy their beauty.

Listen to music that you find inspirational and uplifting.

Admire a work of art that raises your spirits.

Reach out and try to resume connection with someone from whom you are estranged, practice forgiveness.

Do some sort of service work. Give some of your time and energy to help others."


It's funny how simple practices like the ones listed above have the ability to improve your life.

I would add this ---avoid people who are negative. I know people whose whole attitude is poisoned by a preoccupation with the political goings on in this country. A waste of time and energy.

20 minutes at 3/4's pace--5 minutes easy jogging before and after.

What did you do today?
