Ten Thoughts on Whole Living

I was in my home office today, looking at the stuff I have up on the walls. Everything in there is there for some significant reason, but it's easy to get involved in life and forget to look at any of it. Today I was reminded of this wonderful list, which I tore out of Body and Soul Magazine over a year ago. These still resonate with me, and I wanted to share them here with you.

Ten Thoughts on Whole Living, by Terri Trespicio

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 non-negotiable, 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.
