While each of the four dimensions is important
on it’s own, the greatest benefit will be seen by

balance. Each dimension affects the others, and
neglecting any one of them is really the same as
neglecting them all – you will limit yourself, and
prevent yourself living up to your potential unless
you actively seek balance between these four

All about keeping your personal self sharp so you can better deal with life four key dimensions - body, mind, heart, soul Balance : Greek saying ‘Nothing overmuch’, balance important? What’s done in one dimension of life will affect the other three, balance and moderation in all things Time-out : need regular tune-ups, rejuvenate, a little TLC
Body in general : junior high - body goes thru weird changes, handle body with care and don’t abuse, ten ways to keep selves sharp: eat good food, relax in the tub, bike, lift weights, sleep enough, Yoga, sports, walk, stretch, aerobics, the four main ingredients; good sleep, relaxation, good nutrition, exercise Eat : “You are what you eat” First rule of thumb, listen to your body, develop own handful do’s and don’ts. Second rule, be moderate and avoid extremes, extreme eating either way = unhealthy, follow USDA food pyramid Use : feel depressed, confused, apathetic? Do what Forrest Gump did; RUN yourself better. Exercise has amazing way of giving you energy, melting stress, and clearing the mind. No single best way to exercise, 20-30 min/3 times a week Feel, not Look : don’t get too obsessed with appearance, society is hung up on ‘looks’, important is feeling good physically. Oprah “You have to change you perception. It’s not about weight - it’s caring for yourself daily” Life/Art: magazines = images, totally touched up! Don’t treat your body like a prisoner of war just to be accepted by someone else Quit : destroy body with addictive substances, often playing with ‘gateway’ drugs opens door to harsher drugs, addiction’s worst thing is you lose control, the addiction is! Refusal skill , feeling pressured? 1, ask self tough questions to make you think 2, consequences 3, suggest alternative 4, take off - get away fast
