Hi Jayne,
This is a fantastic post! I love how you incorporated taking care of ourselves physically with taking care of ourselves emotionally. We are a whole package and not bits and pieces of disconnect. How we take care of ourselves physically has a profound impact on how we do emotionally and vice verca. We can be totally in tuned to one while ignoring the other and we won’t be healthy. Something will be really unbalanced and amiss.
Thanks for sharing all of those points! I know that I don’t always get to each one daily and it’s a very inspiring list with great reminders!

HI Stacy, I love the way you phrased your comment. We are indeed a whole package, yet it’s funny how that can be so often overlooked.
Feeling well really puts spring in your step doesn’t it!?
Thanks for your great comment.
Jayne
Fantastic post Jayne!
Thank you for this, some great reminders… I’m with you 100%.
It is our thoughts and our FEELINGS that create our life.
Often it is the little things that have the biggest effect on our life and our world. Thanks again, keep em’ coming.

HI Ragnar, thanks so much for stopping by. Nice to meet you.
Our feeling do either propel us forward or hold us back. In order to have great feeling though, being physically healthy is a huge necessity. Like I say if you don’t ‘feel well’ it’s hard to have a positive affect on any aspect of life.

Hi Jayne,
I absolutely believe there is a correlation between what’s going on in our bodies and how we feel mentally. We can’t be in top mental shape if we’re suffering from lack of sleep, or filling our bodies with unhealthy foods. Personal development isn’t just about developing our minds, it’s also about getting our bodies in the best shape too.
Nice post!
Jamella Biegel recently posted..I Am A Fanilow And Proud Of It!
There is certainly a correlation between our health and how we feel mentally. Many times we get a healthy body for granted but when something happens we understand how important is our health.
Without our health we cannot enjoy life and this can certainly effect our personal and even professional life…
Kostas recently posted..The Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant
HI Kostas, you nailed it. Looking after your health is definitely the number one focus we should all adopt. It’s too late when we’re faced with something unforeseen. We are no good for anything then.
Lovely to see you
Jayne
Jamella, how right you are. Personal development encompasses the whole ‘person’ and I do believe that everything ties together.
If you dont feel well, you really don’t think well… and vice versa… so the whole package of new habits is important.

hi Jayne, great list for feeling good. I love no. 6,7 and 10. To feel good even you had miserable is able to forgive and able to feel gratitude. When we make peace with ourselves, we feel better.

HI Viviana, thanks so much for the compliment. While so many of these suggestions are common sense, it’s amazing how often we humans don’t pay attention to them.
Peace is huge… we have to be at peace … it does a lot for stress reduction which in my opinion is the root of many things we face.

Hi Jayne,
Another excellent post! Your writing style is just plain attractive and your wraps too
Feeling great is super important and one that I see that too many people do not put in the effort to do.
We might not be able to control what happens to us but we can sure control what happens in us and thus we can choose our reactions to whatever happens to us.
One of my best ways of feeling great is saying gratitude every morning. I might not feel like it but i have learnt to give thanks for everything in my life. From my shoes to my food to my walking and sleeping. There is a fountain of peace released when we are so full of thanks.
Great post, Jayne

Tosin, thanks so much for your kind words. I can feel your positive energy always and it doesn’t surprise me that you engage in gratitude on a daily basis.
I think that goes a long way in strengthening our ability to feel great.
thanks so much for sharing your routine with us.
Jayne
One thing I notice is when I’m having a “great” day, it seems no matter what I do it turns out great. If I’m having a bad day, things seem to perpetuate and get worse.
I know they say to simply “change your attitude” but can’t say I can recall a time when that ever worked! LOL
Thank you Jayne.
Warren recently posted..Long Tail Keywords and SEO: What’s the catch?
HI Warren, I get what you are saying here. It’s not easy to instantly flick a switch.
sometimes when I need an attitude adjustment, it comes with self talk and convincing. It takes for me to put things in perspective until I see the light… then I’m all good.
today though, I’m sorta talking about when you feel ‘fun down’… or even under the weather. sometimes its difficult to feel like jumping up and down with a big beaming smile when you feel less than ‘well’….
Same goes for feeling ambitious. When I was ill (so to speak)… I was just bleak and didn’t care enough to try to change my attitude.
Have you ever felt like that?
Jayne
Yes, I’ve been sick lately. 2011 was a full year.
Bought a house
Got engaged (New Years Eve)
Got pregnant (well, I helped) LOL
And was told i had Kidney Cancer (talk about timing eh?)
Still working on them, and anxiously awaiting April 13th to meet my daughter (our first child) but staying positive and motivated can be challenging.
It wasn’t so much I didn’t care about things (like my business) just more of is it the smart thing to do?
I did look for the “switch” and would have flicked it, but not sure there is one! I’m sure there are a lot of things that influence our moods, but the main one is probably our brains, and even if it’s working in the background it’s hard to bypass and make yourself feel ambitious if it won’t co-operate.
The one outside influence that I could probably make better use of is water intake. I get so focused working that I forget to eat/drink sometimes for hours! (I’ll work on it!)
Warren recently posted..Long Tail Keywords and SEO: What’s the catch?
HI Warren… Whoa… holy #F.. so… congrats on your accomplishments and positive undertakings… so what’s going on with the Kidney cancer?
Are you undergoing treatments or going natural?? How are you managing this?
I am sure you’ll be just fine as I can feel your attitude off the print… but I am wondering what you’re doing. YOu look good (health wise). … well… OK ‘other wise’ too
Have you read the Healing Codes? I am reading it right now. It’s definitely worth the read even if dont go for the actual program. You can pick it up very reasonable off amazon.
Sending the best of positive thoughts your way.
Thank you Jayne.
They want to go in and take out the kidney but I didn’t like a few things.
1. I asked if they would test my left kidney to make sure i could actually run alright with just that one. (he said they don’t usually do that) LOL
2. Why didn’t they see it when I was in 6 months ago with kidney pain? (you were in 6 mo ago) Oh yeah it’s right here in your chart. (guess he didn’t even look at my chart)
3. Could it be scar tissue from the surgeries I had when I was younger? (You had kidney surgery before?) Seriously wtf? LOL
Thank you for the positive thoughts! I appreciate them.
Haven’t read “Healing Codes” but have to return some books so will look to see if it’s in. I did watch “Dying to have known” (Good video by the way).
Talk to you soon.

Warren recently posted..Long Tail Keywords and SEO: What’s the catch?
HI Warren, That is so bizarre that they ‘don’t usually do that’… What?? I would have thought that would be the first thing they’d look at.
Naturally, something needs to be done about the sick kidney… but really, isn’t is just responsible to look to the future.
I have a few friends who have undergone Kidney removal … most are just fine. My ex brother in law however had a bad kidney and the remaining one was not healthy either. His wife (my ex sister in law) was a perfect match so she donated one of hers!! I am so proud and awed at her bravery.
Warren, I know you are a ‘forward thinker’… so I”m sure you have done your research, however I’d like to bounce an idea off you.
That is Alkaline water. I am an affiliate of an Alkaline water system… but not just ‘cos I thought it ‘looked cool’. I drink alkaline water and have done for some time now.
My friends own the company and I purchased my machine off them but… Dr. Snyder is a well known kidney expert and he swears by it.
There is a lot of benefits to alkaline water as it is absorbed by the body and flushes out toxins, etc… that get caught up in our cells. It’s removing these toxins that help prevent disease. Many people have sworn it has cured their sever ailments. I’m not a doctor.. (as you know) but it might be worth investigating. Here is my link… just for you to look at.
Gravity Water System>
You will notice at the top of the Santevia page that Dr. R. Snyder has an ad as he is a huge advocate of alkaline water and kidney ailments. Hey… you never know.
Read the testimonials as well. If you drink water any way (if you don’t you should
) then alkaline is in my opinion the best option.
At the end of the day Warren, its all about strengthening the immune system. That’s where the focus has to be regardless of the illness, disease, etc. so it can rebuild and fight.
I would also recommend the Healing Codes. Just give it a read. There’s a lot to be said for the information contained and it’s not a long read. At least it isn’t for me because I am so passionate about the topic.
You have a lot of live for and a lot of people who I’m sure agree. You daughter will want a healthy daddy… and you’ll want to be well enough to enjoy her as you are about to experience one of the most transforming and blessed times of your life. You’ll know exactly what I mean when you meet her.
Warren, keep me posted… there is a reason you have told me about this… let’s go with it. You never know what will change things… that is, if you don’t try.
I know you are positive… and I’m sure you’ll be fine but do what you can and you never know what tomorrow will bring.
I’m not trying to be a nosy parker or a salesperson… I’m just genuinely suggesting this because I do believe in the merits of it. You are a prime candidate.
Let me know your thoughts and feel free to contact me with any questions whatsoever. or even call me… my number is on this site as is my Skype.
I also have a site… http://www.healthy-alkaline-water.com where I have written many articles.
Wishing you nothing but the best
Jayne
Another inspiring post, Jayne! I would completely agree with your philosophy here. A lot of us wait for outer successes before we can feel good on the inside; you are suggesting just the opposite.
Do what it takes to feel good and you’ll create a successful life. Nourish yourself, be curious, stay curious, learn, grow, set little goals, etc are all about cultivating one’s wellness. It’s about feeling well and feeling good NOW.
Indeed, it all starts and ends with your own wellness.
Srinivas Reddy | Ask Sage recently posted..The Power Of Habit
Hi Sage, it really does start with wellness doesn’t it? as much as some people would love to argue that… the bottom line is if you don’t have your health, you’ve got nothing at all.
Thanks for stopping by Sage. Love to visit your place.
See you soon
Jayne
It’s absolutely true that we project what we feel. “Attitude is everything” and if you have a positive attitude you’ll have a better outlook on life which will in turn have a positive affect on your overall life. Great post!

Jayme,
I want to thank you for this post also. I drank so much coffee that I’m becoming like a fish in water. I heed this that I need the drank more water.
Everyday we walk a thin line with becoming obsessed with what we love to do. There has to be a balance to function well.
Mike Cleveland recently posted..Done with writer’s block, get on with living your dreams
Hi Jayne,
Very empowering post! “Burning the candle at both ends” describes me to a t. When I realized I was wearing myself out I would stop for a few weeks and relax. But soon I would fall into the same routine. Ha, even my husband told me to slow down, but then he would pile some more stuff on my plate that absolutely had to be done “right this moment.”
Not eating right and not getting enough rest is very unhealthy and really, nothing is worth scarifying our health for. I have started to eat breakfast (never had before throughout my entire life), I watch my cholesterol and…I make sure I get at least one hour of “Me Time” before I go to bed at night.
I still work way to much and don’t get enough exercise, but I am working on that.
Thanks so much for the reminder!
Be blessed,
Ilka

HI Ilka, you sound pretty much like me. I have a pretty difficult time relaxing and always feel I have to be doing something.
Until I started paying better attention to me ‘water intake, sleep, eating and fresh air habits’ it was very difficult to think about accomplishing anything.
I agree wholeheartedly that you can’t sacrifice your health.
Your hubby sounds like my ex. they are so funny; talking one way one second and then being totally hypocritical the next!!
Hope you have a wonderful Saturday. We are off for another two day cheerleading event!
(so much for the weekend LOL… it just goes *poof*)

They say that we need at least eight hours of sleep. I have heard that Donald Trump only gets five hours of sleep and he is successful. I feel like I need sleep, but I do not want to sleep. Every single day, I fight the temptations in the back of my head, and with everything I have within me. Time is too short, and something I have come to value far too much for me to let it go by.
They say we also need 8 bottles of water a day. I am not going to argue with that! ( :
When I go without drinking enough water I start to feel sluggish. Those are usually the times I have less energy and are more tempted to sleep. Drinking a lot of water also seems to help my skin! I cannot forget about that because good skin is a recipe for smiles.
Keep up the good work!
God bless,
William Veasley
