Live Healthy, Cope Better

As many of you know I often speak about the importance of self-care. That is, how important it is for us to get exercise, drink lots of water, get proper rest and eat balanced meals if we are going to be able to handle conflict in a positive way and bounce forward. If we don't take care of ourselves we won't be able to deal with daily stress and other challenges very effectively. Exercise helps us exert energy and positive endorphins which helps relieve stress. Water keeps our bodies hydrated so that our brains aren't sluggish and we can better respond to our environment. Proper rest works also helps keep our minds sharp, alert and focused on the task at hand. Balanced meals give us the right kind and right amount of energy so that we are always at peak operating potential. There is no argument, self care is essential to effective conflict resolution and peaceful living.
