It's Not Just About Dieting…
You may not like what I'm about to say, but dieting alone will not help you to lose weight. You have to give your body the exercise it needs. As I mentioned earlier, a couple of centuries ago, people were involved in a lot of manual...
Jesus Diet
You don't have to be Christian to benefit from the Jesus diet. After all, Jesus was not a Christian. In fact, you don't even need to believe in God. Please note: This article has nothing to do with several "Jesus Diet" hits found on google.com....

Why Corporate Wellness Programs Don’t Work – And What Does
We have been experiencing an intense focus on "wellness" for close to a decade now, but it seems little has been done to really improve health and well being in this country. Many corporations have gotten on the bandwagon as a way of adding value...

Design Your Perfect Lifestyle
We often fall into the trap of thinking we have to wait until retirement to have our life be just right. (Of course, in retirement people often get bored.) So stop waiting! This article is written to help you design your ideal life.
Then ask the question: What would it take to have this NOW, or this year? If that's absolutely not possible (and it probably is, so look hard!), then you design a plan to reach that.
Following is an extract of the Perfect Lifestyle Program. (Better still, you can currently download the full Program free of charge at www.life-coaching-resource.com Look for the Design Your Life option.)
Instructions: Print out the following, and create a picture of your ideal lifestyle in the following seven areas. Use the questions as a guide and also add your own questions. Assume money is not an issue i.e. you have plenty. You can worry about HOW to get your picture later. Now dream!
a) Self Care
How many massages per week? How much drinking water per day? What kind of body? Exercise program? Diet? How much energy would I have? How many walks would I take? How much peaceful time/fresh air? How much sleep would I get? How do I dress?
b) Home Environment
Where would I live geographically? Which suburb? Which country? House/unit? On the water? In the country? Friendly community? Climate? What would my bedroom look like? My yard? How tidy is the house? Do I have a cleaner? Someone who shops for me? Does the washing? What car do I drive?
c) Relationship
From your partner, do you want a commitment for life, or a commitment for now? What kind of commitment do YOU want to make? Do you want an exclusive relationship, or one where you explore other relationships? To what limits? Kids? What's your ideal sex life?
d) Friends and Family
How many friends do you want in your life? Do they drop by spontaneously, or set up weeks in advance? Do your friends know your other friends? Are they rich? Interesting? Creative? Warm and Open? Or busy and
stressed? Ideally, how would your relationship with your mother look? Father? Siblings? (Don't let your history block you here. Create the 'ideal' relationships!
e) Career
For this exercise, remember you don't 'need' a career. Assume you have plenty of money, right? So in your perfect world, is there a job you would enjoy? What would you create or make? What service would you provide. What kinds of things have you enjoyed in past careers, or what do you think you would be good at? What kind of people would you work with? What hours would you work? Work from home, or in a really funky office building with a slide down the middle?
f) Enjoyment
What do you do in your ideal lifestyle? Garden? Paint? Fish? Bushwalk? When you gather with friends or family, what do you do? Do you travel? Where? How often? What do you do when traveling?
g) A Cause/Purpose
If the rest of your life was perfect and handled, to whom would you contribute? To your family? The environment? The Community? Child abuse victims? Politics? What do you strongly believe in? What do you love? What do you hate? How would you contribute? Donate money, time, brain power? What legacy would you like to leave behind when you die?
The first, and most important step, is to create the picture. This alone increases the chance of it happening without you doing anything. However, if you're willing to take action, and are up for the game of creating your perfect lifestyle, the
•pick an area to start on
•write the top ten actions required to handle that area
•do two this week!
Enjoy,
David.
