For Your Better Life

Recreation comes in many forms. If you go to the beach you can read a book, take a nap, body surf or swim a mile. All these can help to recharge your batteries refresh your outlook and reconnect you with your soul.

Re-creating is about balance and revitalizing yourself. It is one thing to know what you love and what re-energize’s you and it is another thing to incorporate it into your life on a daily basis. “He not busy being born is busy dying.” Troubadour and spokesperson for the 1960’s Bob Dylan sang in his song “It’s Alright Ma (I am Only Bleeding)”.

If you have recreation built into your schedule already, celebrate and recommit. If not get busy being born. Make recreation a priority. No one else can do it for you.

Buy these 4 CD’s to help you get busy being born.

If you are thinking I do not have time, I challenge that. Recreation helps you to bring out your best whether it is at work, school or home. You can make it so that it is not time away from other things; it is the refueling that gives you energy to make things happen in the important areas of your life.

So Sing, Draw, Dance, Walk, Cook, play with your pets, your kids and your spouse. Invent, express, make music and travel. Do it for fun and as a preventative so you don’t unravel.

Do a puzzle, laugh out loud, ride your bike or play hide and seek in a crowd.

Recreation with a purpose is important for life balance. Recharging your batteries, connecting you with your passion and helping you to bring more of the good stuff that is in you out into the world is a great goal for recreation.

Include recreation everyday,
Don’t let busy get in the way,
Take great care,
Of gifts you’re here to share.

It is up to you to create your bright future.

If you are ever confused and felling torn do something fun to get busy being born.

(Rhyming can be fun too.)

Create more joy and less hell till next time.

This is how appreciation works. When you appreciate something you are, by a classic definition, adding value to it. Its value is increased by your appreciation. This is a good habit to engage in for your better life.

• Here are a few definitions of appreciation.

  • An expression of admiration, approval, or gratitude

  • Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things.

  • Appreciation of an asset is an increase in its value and price, especially over time.

As you appreciate the important people and all the amazing capabilities, privileges and things that you have, you are literally adding value to them.

CD Set You Would Appreciate

If you speak to someone about things that you deeply appreciate they will get the value you are adding. With some practice you can turn bad attitudes into good attitudes and good ones into great ones. You can turn a mediocre life into a better life and a better life into a great one.

Appreciation Unlocks Your Bright Future

A good exercise is to keep a gratitude journal and write in it every night before you go to sleep. This way the last thing you are thinking about before sleep is what you appreciate and are grateful for.

This simple practice will help you to see how many amazing things you have in your life and how blessed you are. I recommend that you try this for a couple of months. It trains your mind to focus on the good things in your life.

Reality is changeable to how we see it. When you appreciate the people that you are around you will find that valuable people surround you. The more you appreciate what you have in your life the more you find that amazing things and circumstances show up. You increase your magnetism.
