I get Body and Soul magazine and on the last page of every issue is a list of things called "Ten Thoughts on Whole Living".
Usually I just skim it, because, quite frankly, it makes me feel guilty. It contains things such as "use more renewable energy", "eat more whole grains" , "go for a long hike..." etc.
But I found a list in May's issue (yes, I'm barely getting to the May issues in my stack of magazines...) that REALLY resonated. Here it is...
1. When you commit your dreams to paper, you give them a place to take root.
2. Be mindful of where you put your attention. The shape of your life will follow.
3. When you view your health as nonnegotiable, your priorities naturally shift.
4. Positive change starts with truth, and no one knows it better than you.
5. You're more than just what you do for others.
6. Before you react to an emotion, first consider its source.
7. Learning to let go begins with understanding why you've been hanging on.
8. Do more than understand stress reduction; put it into practice.
9. There's no way to grow without taking a few risks.
10. Setting boundaries doesn't keep others out. It defines where your life begins.
I love Body and Soul but decided not to renew. I love the way it makes me want to strive to be better, but I always fall short! I think the parts at the end are teh best

Wow. I'm saving that list for myself. I'm holding on to something right now (resentment and anger) and Number 7 on that list has made me reexamine it.
