Boost Your Feel-Good Hormones
Physiologically, enjoying diverse ways of feeling good about yourself, your life and the world around all you help your body produce more endorphins and oxytocin (the cuddle hormone), which are both natural mood enhancers.
Variety Creates Interest
Stimulating, life-enhancing activities don't have to involve triatholons or heavy lifting!
Mental activities like reading, puzzle solving or avidly watching a National Geographic TV special about science or other cultures certainly engage our attention, but in a completely different way than weaving, cooking or hiking.
Helping at a local food pantry or donating office work to a charity nourish and satisfy you in a diffferent way than remembering to eat your fruits and vegetables or getting that great promotion at work.
Refreshing your spirit with shared laughter, conversation and love feeds us as surely as a hearty bowl of oatmeal!
The well-being that comes from living in balance can ease your stress.
The benefits of living a balanced life are psychological, emotional and physical. And it is within your power to revitalize each of the six major areas - health, work, relationships, creativity, play and helping others!
