U.S. Census Bureau data suggests that health is a far more powerful determinant of an individual’s happiness than income, marital status, age, or any other factor. Self-described “healthy” people are 20 percent happier than average. How do you remain healthy while successfully navigating a type-A lifestyle? I share some secrets in my latest article, “Self-Care Tips for Your Busy Lifestyle,” published by Spirituality & Health Magazine.
I look forward to your articles on health & wellness issues. I too worked a stressful corporate job for many years and resigned three years ago. The tips you share here are extremely useful for both physical and mental health. One of the most significant, and basic, is hydration. I read about US prisoners of war who, upon waking, would drink 3 glasses of water. It would hydrate them, boost their moods, and keep them healthy. Eager to read your next piece!
Michael, Happy you are enjoying my articles! Yes, a lot is being uncovered about the power of hydration (I also wrote about it in my April blog post). When seeking well-being, our health is critical. We need to proactively address it rather than wait until we develop and imbalance/illness.
