Staying Healthy in the Fast Lane

staying healthy in the fast lane

talk you out of picturing anything you want to be or look like.

Just write it down.

2. Look at your perfect “health scene,” see what health goals are
   present there, and write down your goals on a piece of paper.


3. Take each goal and write a positive affirmation about it. Al-
   len has a unique way of prefacing any affirmation: “In an
   easy and relaxed manner and in a healthy and positive way...”
   You may end your affirmation by saying “...For this I am now
   so thankful and grateful,” or in whatever way resonates with
   you.


4. Sit quietly and imagine your perfect health for five minutes
   daily. Imagine yourself being, doing, feeling, and radiating
   great health, doing the things you love to do each day.


5. Now take each of your health goals and write a plan for it.
   Take a step on each plan each week. Periodically review your
   plans and adjust accordingly.

Creating a Life Purpose Statement

I encourage everyone to try this simple “Life Purpose Exercise”
by answering the following four questions that lead you to your
“Life Purpose Statement.” I believe a very important aspect of be-
ing healthy is living your life’s purpose.^2

1. List two of your unique personal qualities, such as enthusi-
   asm and creativity.


2. List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities
   when interacting with others, such as to support and inspire.


3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does this world
   look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else?
   What does it feel like? Write your answer as a statement,
   in the present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the
   perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember: A perfect
   world is a fun place to be.


4. Combine the three prior subdivisions of this paragraph into
   a single statement.
