Let's Talk Getting Healthy

~FINDING YOUR HAPPY PLACE...Where did I put it?~

 
In todays World, people are so busy taking care of their spouses, significant others, their kids, their jobs and anything else that they possibly can, that they don't leave time for themselves.  After living this lifestyle for a period of time, they get in a rut, and misplace their Happy Place.     Ever Feel that way yourself? 

In the movie, Peter Pan (yes, I watched it recently with my kids)  upon returning to neverland, has difficulty remembering how to FLY.  He is reminded that he must go to his "Happy Place" in order to remember.  It was difficult at first, he even had a few failed attempts.  Then when it became a Must, he had to fly or else, he remembered!

You could tell in his failed attempts that his HEART was not in it, he defeated himself before he even tried. I see this with patients all the time, I hear things like, "I haven't been happy for a long time", "What's the use, it won't work anyway","I have tried everything, nothing works". That is like Peters failed attempts, because when it came down to it, none of these people gave 100%.  Really, its not their fault AND it is their responsiblity.(continued)

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS ~ Just 4, It Will Change Your Life!

Every once in a while there comes a book that will change the way you look at life.  THE FOUR AGREEMENTS by Don Miguel Ruiz is such a book.  A couple of dear friends of mine recommended I read this book, in fact they gave me my first copy.  I read the four agreements in one short weekend.

Since that time, I have reread the book and actually have the CD version on my iPod.  I recommend it highly to everyone who wants to experience a new sense of freedom, true happiness, and love.  The four agreements are as follows:

    1. Be impeccable with your word - speak with integrity.
    2. Don't take anything personally - nothing others do is             because of you, it is a projection of their own reality.  
    3. Don't make assumptions - find the Courage to ask                 questions and to express what you really want.
    4. Always do your best - your best is going to change from         moment to moment, simply always do your best.

Don Miguel Ruiz will take you on a journey, based on ancient Toltec wisdom, explaining these four agreements, and how they apply to your life.

Here is what a dear friend of mine, Laurie Hays, the creator of The Complete 12-Step Guide To Starting A Home-Based Business, had to say after she read the book. She also included the video version of the prayers that are in the back of the book.  Check out what Laurie had to say about the book and watch the short video, I know you will enjoy it.

You can find a link to this book at the lower right side of this page.  After you read the book, come back and comment on your thoughts about the book.

This book has been a blessing to me and I know it will be to you also.
