Mental Health

Ok, everyone. I've been preaching the benefits of drinking enough water to just about everbody I talk to. Read the article I wrote for Touchstone, the journal of the Oregon Massage Therapists Association about water.

And here are some additional musings.

• Physical Health
• Emotional Health
• Spiritual Health

1. Think positive. You can accomplish anything you want in life.
2. Set goals. Decide what you want out of life. There's an old saying that most of us plan our vacations more than we plan our lives. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? Who do you want to become?
3. Make a plan. Once you decide on a goal, look at intermediate steps. What do you need to accomplish in order to reach that goal? Start now.
4. Keep your word. I'm an old-fashioned type of guy. My father taught me that my word was a contract. If you tell someone you are going to do something by a certain time, do it.
5. Tell the truth. Keep it simple. Don't make up stories or excuses. If you make a mistake, apologize for it immediately. If you get into trouble, 'fess up.
6. Don't worry. If you keep your word, finish projects on time, and tell the truth, then the only thing to worry about is what others do. And since you cannot control what others do, why worry?
7. Tap. Use the Emotional Freedom Techniques described elsewhere on this site to eliminate your issues.

Put more life in your years!
