A New Year, A New You: Mindful Enjoyment
Do you enjoy life?
Is your life fun and rewarding?
The thoughts we have affect our health to a larger degree than we realize. If you want to have good health, then take time to have some fun and relaxation in life. Don't always worry about the problems!
Relax. Lighten up.
Easier said than done, right? Try meditation! A still, quiet period of time where your body and more importantly, your mind can be clear. Meditation does take commitment and practice, but stopping your thoughts for just twenty minutes can improve your life.

You not only will enjoy life more but you will also be healthier and live longer. Part of a good, balanced lifestyle is taking time to relax and have fun. In the process, you may even be preventing a heart attack or stroke.
