ONE
Take care of your body with exercise, healthy diet and nutritional supplements.
TWO
Listen to the messages from your body as guidance from within, not symptoms to be eliminated.
THREE
Learn and maintain awareness of the stress signals in your body, mind and lifestyle. They are opportunities for healing.
FOUR
Take responsibility for your experience and eliminate victim consciousness. You are the creator of your experience.
FIVE
Express your emotions appropriately and do not hold them in, or, your body will express them as symptoms and diseases.
SIX
Practice inner child writing regularly to discharge the unconscious mind which is a powerful creative, and potentially healing, force in your life experience.
SEVEN
Practice non-judgmental awareness and observation of the emotional pain in your body. There is pain and there is you, observing and feeling the pain. Identifying with the pain increases it, while observing it decreases it.
EIGHT
You are who is listening to your thoughts. You are not your thoughts. Make a mental note of “future” thoughts and “past” thoughts. There is rarely any stress in the present moment.
NINE
Keep your attention in the now. Give every activity you are engaged in your fullest attention and be totally present.
TEN
Meditate daily and experience who you really are beneath the level of reactive thought.
