There is only 1 week left in summer; so a NEW season is about to begin! Do you want it to be a new season of your life or same old same old? Are you ready for a change or a fresh start? If so, you have the option of making that a reality TODAY and the change of the seasons is not a bad time to start! Here are 36 things (I just turned 36 so 1 for each year of my life) that I do to help maintain/improve my health and are suggestions for you if you want to live a healthier life. I am just giving you the bullet points, so if you want more info on any of these; please let me know and I will get it to you as I have plenty of resources. And let's not forget that health is physical, mental AND spiritual! Alright, here you go...
1) Take cold showers...physical, mental and spiritual benefits...

4) Don't eat/drink anything with aspartame in it! READ THE LABELS!
5) Get regular sunshine on your skin as direct sun exposure (outside and no sunscreen with some skin exposed) at least 3 times per week for 15-20 minutes each time.

28) Keep the space you work and live in as clean and orderly as "possible."
29) Minimize debt in your life and live below your means, but don't be afraid to GIVE "above your means."
30) Do something you're passionate about...don't just have a job...don't just make a lot of money...don't just have a title...
31) Appreciate what you have and be thankful; don't be ungrateful for what you don't have.
32) Don't always be serious...don't always have fun...but find a balance between the two.
33) Poop daily...
34) Exercise your faith (you don't get muscles by skipping your "workout")
35) Invest in the people you are close with...
36) Do these things consistently!
