Your Well Being

How do you feel much of the time? Happy, sad, strong, moody, depressed, OK most of the time?

How you feel much of the time, is extremely important. Suppose you have a great job, two cars, a closet full of pretty clothes, extra spending cash and tons of friends. But let’s just say that you are unhappy most of the time. Well, if you are unhappy most of the time, then how can you enjoy that great job, your pretty clothes and your two cars and your friends?

Suppose you are poor, homely, and unemployed. But let’s say that you are feeling happy, even on top of the world! That is what really matters.

In my life, I have associated with a lot of people. I have mingled with people who have great jobs, breath taking houses, three cars and lots of money. But sadly so, those people with all that silver and gold, are not happy.

I have also mingled with people who are far less lucky, including homeless people who feel good much of the time and have a good sense of well being.

You can be the Queen of the USA and still be unhappy.

In this chapter, I will help people who are poor in spirit feel better about them selves and their lives.

The first thing is diet and exercise. When you eat a well balanced diet, especially vitamins highly enriched with B vitamins, you will feel better. Drink lots of water and exercise. At least ten minutes per day. You are likely to have a good sense of self, with these suggestions, than plopping your self in front of the TV all day and manipulating the remote

This is why I have developed an exercise for you, a pleasure list.

Here we go.

Pleasure

My kids, helping others, reading, swimming, taking long walks, working.

Do this exercise every day that is written on your list. And add more positive things to your list as time goes on.

Just remember that well being does not work for some of you. You have to work at it.
