Get Back to Nature

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by admin in How to Get Started

Lifestyle means many things to many people. For me it includes our natural environment, our level of stress, happiness and relaxation. Easier said than done. How about a few tips we can all do to create some purity, nature and rest in our lives:

  • Pure air. For those of us in the Chicago area gets an air purifier for your home – definitely your bedroom. The best I’ve found are Hepa Filters, I have a Health Pro check out www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com
  • Pure water – Ok this is obvious by now but many people still don’t filter their drinking and shower water. www.waterwise.com for shower filters. Get a carbon filter system for the tap. It works and is affordable.
  • Rest – one day off a week with no work – Yes that would be great -my new years resolution is just that for myself how about you?
  • Vacation – Get away every 3-4 months if you can manage for at least a week or two. When I do this I feel rejuvenated.
  • Get a massage, Reiki healing or bodywork every two -four weeks. This one I do.
  • A Hot bath with Sea salt is a great way to relax and detoxify.
  • Keep your home and office full of nice plants and positive energy. A friend of mine, Rich Feingold, does home and office Fung Shui space clearing, which is a process used to raise the energy level of your physical surroundings. This may sound far out to some of you, however, many people, myself included, have found a more peaceful, harmonious and enlivening energy after a Fung Shui Space clearing.

It’s true that some lifestyle changes that support health are directly related to your income and free time – which often feels outside of our control, but one thing I like to encourage people to do is to prioritize within your income and free-time constraints some special time for yourself or with a loved one. It can be just a night out or a weekend away. Americans tend to overwork and that can lead to burnout and poor health.
