Balance life with work, sleep, and service to others.




Daily Quote: “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” Mark Twain


Body: Walking Day (20 min.) A recent study just confirmed that moderate exercise of walking 20-30 minutes; 5 days a week will reduce your chances of catching the common cold by 60%. Write down three or four goals that you can stick to. Be specific. First one might be "I will stick to My Refocus goal of drinking 5 glasses of water a day."

Mind: Games involve logic. Play a game checkers, chess, bridge or even solitaire. Avoid playing the same games all the time. Play a game. There is an app for that to keep this exercise fresh. Limit game play to 30-45 min.

Spirit: Practice meditation and prayer and you might say;” I am willing to release and let go of my old negative energies. Meditation can be as simple as monitoring your breathing.

As soon as we learn the true relationship in which we stand? with God (namely, God is our Father, and we are His children) then at once prayer becomes natural and instinctive. (Matt. 7:7) Problems arise from forgetting this relationship. Prayer is the act that brings the will of the Father and the will of the child closer together. The object of prayer is not to change the will of the Father but to secure for ourselves and others blessings that God is already willing to grant. Blessings require some work (Law of the Harvest.) Prayer is a form of work and is the means for obtaining the highest blessing of all. (Inspired by the LDS bible dictionary)

Emotional: Seek constructive criticism from people you trust and respect. We all need to check our thinking with people that we know have our best interests at heart.

Day Fact: 7 out of 10 people on a weight loss program felt more satisfied with less food when it was served on a salad plate instead of a regular size dinner plate.
