Choose to live peacefully with kindness and joy as your touchstone. What better evidence of spiritual strength could we have than a peaceful mind and loving heart? Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Being vibrantly healthy and celebrating life starts with celebrating ourselves. Before anyone else can celebrate us, we must first respect and celebrate who we are and create a life worth celebrating.

When you learn to love yourself, and take loving care of yourself, love will come to you in the forms of happiness, health, success, prosperity, peace, joy and balance. Let your heart-light shine brightly every day.

We cannot discipline ourselves in the great things of life unless, and until, we have learned and accepted that discipline begins with the small things. Start with thinking and speaking words that are positive and life-enhancing. Positive words will alleviate stress and improve your general well-being. We think thousands of thoughts daily. Choose wisely what you think and say.

Imbue your thoughts with your highest vision of how you want to live and what you want to experience in life. In other words, visualize your goals and dreams. Practice no-limit thinking. Dream-BIG!

Dream BIG! Regardless of circumstances, always be persistent and keep the faith because you can create your heart's desire. You are full of infinite possibilities; whatever you can imagine, you can accomplish. Maybe this wonderful quote from Albert Einstein will inspire you, too. "Your imagination is a preview of your life's coming attractions."

Pay attention to the whisperings of your heart. When you honor these stirrings, you have more energy and zest for life. We age quickly when we live with regrets instead of cultivating our visions and dreams.

To be treated with kindness and respect, we must first offer these qualities to others. Respond to people and animals exactly as you want to be treated. Always take the high road and live by the Golden Rule.

When you commit to a new health and fitness program, be aware of your thoughts and beliefs going in. Harboring doubts about your ability to succeed affects your results. Weed out doubt, worry, and concern.

Exercise regularly and find a balance of strengthening, stretching, and aerobic activities. Make your program a top priority in your life, a non-negotiable activity, and stay committed to it! Exercise puts wings under your confidence and self-esteem. The only time I want my body to go downhill is after I hike uphill. Here's what to do to get fit, strong and flexible quickly and easily.
