"Golden Rules"

We had a pathophysiologist come visit us in LLab this morning. It was a good friend's relative so we all took what she said seriously. Basically, she preached an organic approach to life. She made us all feel like we're going to die of a painful disease and go to hell within the next five years for eating burger king and drinking out of plastic water bottles. But jokes aside, she did make an impact on us.

I'd like to share with you, my favorites of Dr. Joni Olehausen's "Golden Rules for Good Health"

-Stop putting poisons/toxins in your body.
-Exercise regularly for the rest of your life.
-BALANCE... and simplify.
-Get Plenty of quality sleep (6-8 hours)     (HAHA!!!)
-Spend time in nature.
-Maintain a spritual connection.
-Worry less...and enjoy more.
-Have less anger...and more laughter.
-Want less...and give more.
-Meditate regularly.
-Get frequent massages (ha!)
-Be grateful every day.
-Listen to music.
-Do something you enjoy every day.
-Help someone every day.
Above all...Take responsibility for yourself!

Another point worth mentioning. I can honestly say I hate nearly all lazy people. Not disabled, not incapable, just plain lazy people. I have a kid in my history class that fully recognizes his laziness and has no problem with it because he's waiting for the day when magically, life figures itself out. In college, we wake up wondering if we'll have homework today. In third world countries, children wake up wondering if they will eat today. I just wish that people would realize that. I almost wish it was mandatory for people to serve two or so years in the military, but then the military would be just "another job". However, I love the fact that we're currently pushing people away at the door because we're only taking the top of the top and those that are dedicated to serving our country. /rantover

Do something awesome tomorrow!
