To pursue wellness, you must find a balance between the physical, emotional, and
spiritual areas of your life. And that's just what our 10 Essentials for Health &
Wellness can help you do.
We developed these easy-to-follow wellness guidelines to help people everywhere
live life to its fullest. Our products will dramatically boost your well-being and
put you on the pathway to a purposeful life, but they're just the beginning. Our
10 Essentials will help you complete your wellness journey-and make your life whole.
1. Breathe Deeply – Air is the cornerstone
of life. Every moment of every day your body exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen
to keep each cell in your body alive and functioning. A rich supply of oxygen can
make the difference between feeling tired and stressed and youthful and focused.
Take at least five deep breaths from your abdomen several times a day.
|
Breathe Deeply – The secret to getting enough oxygen is to breathe
deeply. Just follow this simple process to maximize your breathing.
• Take 8-10 deep breaths in sequence, breathing in through your nose and out
through your mouth.
• Check that your abdomen is rising and falling with each breath.
• Complete your breathing routine at least five times a day – choosing
times when you feel stressed or tired will give you an instant pick-me-up!
|
|
2. Drink Water – Water is essential
for everything your body does. In fact, you are more than 70 percent water! Nutrient
absorption, blood flow, respiration, elimination, and your ability to see and hear
require adequate consumption of pure, clean water. Your body cannot effectively
store the water you need throughout the day. Drink at least eight glasses of water
every day.
|
Drink Water – The first key to getting the water you need is to find
out how much your body requires. To calculate your personal water requirements:
Divide your weight in pounds by 2. The answer equals the minimum number of ounces of water per day your body needs just to function normally.
|
|
3. Sleep Peacefully – Sleep is the
only time your body has to repair and rejuvenate every organ and system in your
body. Sleep deprivation causes cellular damage, and limits the production of enzymes
and hormones your body needs to keep your cells healthy, and prevent premature aging.
Sleep also has a powerful impact on your emotional health – it eases stress
and helps you cope with the ups and downs of your day. Strive to get eight hours
of sleep every night.
|
|
|
Sleep Peacefully – Perform this simple bedroom survey to see if your
room is helping or hindering your quest for a peaceful night’s sleep.
• Do you need room darkening window coverings to avoid the glare of early morning
light?
• Does noise from other rooms or outdoors need to be minimized with better
insulation or reorganization of your room?
• Does your mattress and pillow promote a good night’s sleep or should
they be replaced?
• Do you feel calm and restful in your room, or do you need to make changes
that will make it more soothing?
• Do you use your room for more than rest and relaxation – do you need
to relocate your computer, television, or other distractions?
|
|
4. Eat Nutritiously – Food has a powerful
impact on your body. Everyday, food, in large part, determines how you feel and
how your body functions. A balanced diet, rich in whole foods, combined with quality
nutritional supplements created to meet your specific needs, will give you the energy
you need today, and the disease-fighting strength you need to build a healthy future.
|
Eat Nutritiously – Sometimes eating well can seem complicated –
but it doesn’t have to be. Grab a dinner plate and follow these steps to a
balanced meal:
• Look at your plate – you will only fill the center, undecorated portion.
• Divide the plate in half – fill one half with fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Divide the remaining half into two equal sections, and place lean meat or
fish in one section, and a high-fiber carbohydrate in the other – now you
have a balanced meal!

5. Enjoy Activity – Your body was
created to move – and move often. Activity increases your circulation, speeding
oxygen, nutrients and water to your cells. Your Lymphatic System requires activity
to purge your body of deadly toxins. Activity also triggers your brain to release
health-giving hormones and enzymes that lift your spirit while they bolster your
immune system. A small investment in daily moderate activity will enable you to
reap tremendous health benefits.
|
Enjoy Activity – Make a goal to walk more every day. Walking for just
10 minutes has been shown to have a positive impact on your health.
• Park as far from the door as possible.
• Take a walking break instead of a coffee break.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Put walking before television or other sedentary activities.
|
|
6. Give and Receive Love – As you
give and receive love, freely and generously, you will be blessed with meaningful,
lifelong relationships and cherished memories that will bring joy in happy times,
and strength and peace in difficult times.
|
Give and Receive Love – Pick out a “Person of the Week”
and express your love for them every day – be specific – let them know
why you love them.
|
|
|
7. Be Forgiving – By forgiving yourself
and others of past and present mistakes, real or perceived, you will gain freedom
from negativity and guilt that will strengthen you and those you love.
|
Be Forgiving – Each day this week before going to bed, make a point
to consciously forgive anyone who has offended you. |
|
 |
8. Practice Gratitude – Sincere gratitude
will lift and inspire you. Recognizing and appreciating all you have empowers you
to find and express true joy.
|
Practice Gratitude – The simple act of writing down the people, things
and blessings you are grateful for will change your life. Create a gratitude journal
and make an entry in it every day. |
|
 |
9. Develop Acceptance – When you develop
the ability to identify and accept the circumstances in your life you cannot change,
yet strive to make positive changes whenever and wherever you can, you will discover
lasting peace and hope.
|
Develop Acceptance – Make a goal to focus on positive changes in yourself
and others – avoid dwelling on, or pointing out shortcomings in yourself or
others. Celebrate even small successes by those you care about. |
|
10. Develop a Relationship with God –
You build a relationship with God in the same way you build a relationship with
those around you – through sharing and listening. By offering a simple prayer
daily, you will enjoy a sense of well-being you will not experience any other way.
|
Develop a Relationship with God – Take at least 15 minutes each day
to spend in prayer, meditation, and inspirational reading. Make this a time to concentrate
on the areas in your life where you most need Divine help. Seek out Divine comfort
and direction every day. |
|
|
You are a complex, unique combination of physical, emotional and spiritual qualities.
By discovering and applying the 10 Essentials, you can develop habits and attitudes
that will increase your energy and help you get the most out of life. Congratulations
