New Year Resolutions for
Total Health of the Total Person
I - I will take care of my body because it is the temple of God I will do some form of exercise at my level of competency and do it regularly in order to discover my points of capability.
I will Walk, Walk, Walk – Stretch, Stretch, Stretch – Breathe, Breathe, Breathe. I will eat the purest possible food bewaring of harmful chemicals and additives, dyes, sweeteners and artificial supplements.
I will eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. I will eat slowly, thoughtfully, gratefully, remembering to chew my food so thoroughly that it will swallow itself.
I will quiet myself with a word of prayer before meals. I will not willfully drive my body to a point of exhaustion; neither will I pamper it to a point at which it is weakened by fear or disuse. II – I will take better care of my mind because what I think is related to what I am and what I will become
I will think in terms of health, and not sickness. I will think in terms of love, not hate. I will think creatively. I will believe that my mind is constantly being renewed, refreshed and strengthened. I will keep an open mind, a compassionate mind and a thoughtful mind. I will nourish my mind with good literature, good art, good thoughts and good consciousness. I will train my mind to be in control.
III – I will take better care of my spirit because the spirit of God in me is the spirit of life I will remember that meditation is a supportive factor in my recognition of the power of Spirit and that prayer is a way of tuning in to Spirit’s power.
I will seek a greater understanding of Spirit by periods of fasting and prayer throughout the year. I will rise above pettiness, jealousy, envy, pride and littleness by remembering that my life is a manifestation of the Spirit of God.
I will maintain a closer relationship with Nature and Out-of-doors. I will try as best as I can to develop a kinship with all life. IV - I will pay more attention to developing a balanced life by recognizing that body, mind and spirit should represent an integrated triad.
