Friday Show & Tell "The List"

For my Show & Tell Friday this week I'd planned on taking pictures of some of the whimsical things I have decorating my home, but alas, the teen -ager girl here locked the memory card for the camera...darling. So, instead I thought I'd list some of the things I do to improve my health and be a whole person. I had a very poor diet growing up and until the past several years, and alot of emotional baggage, and those things really do wreak havock!

So, here's my bottom line list of ten essentials:

1. Spend time prayerfully soaking up the Word. Personalize it. (Bible reading and Bible Study)

2. Forgive. Don't hold on to grudges, anger, or any negative feelings about others.

3. Spend time consciously meditating on God's love, for myself as well as others.

4. Do not let my mind chew on negative emotions. They make us ill in all sorts of ways, and are the cause of the majority of disease and sickness.

5. Eat organic and whole foods first- closest to natural as possible, wild and free range as much as possible. No eating out of packages, boxes, etc. No sugar, white flour, white rice, sodas, etc.

6. Eat more raw foods. Enymes!

7. Spend time with animals, nature, and babies *U* Especially my own.

8. Physical excersise daily, especially walking in natural surroundings, spending time observing nature. (sometimes I replace this with a nice horseback ride through the orchards, along the elk fence)

9. Take time to be deliberate in things I do, think, and say. Slow down.Enjoy...

10. Be content with things I have. Stuff clutters the soul! Being an over consumer, over eater, and over doer is not healthy.
