What is the secret to comprehensive health?
Generosity! When you're truly healthy, you are healthy in your mind, body, and spirit.
Healthy in Mind
When you are generous to your mind, you care for your mental and emotional health in ways that reduce your stress, increase your sense of calm, and embrace yourself and your golorious imperfections.
Healthy in Body
When you are generous to your body, you nourish your body with physical activity, good foods, water, and sleep.
Healthy in Spirit
When you are generous to your spirit, you connect with yourself and others in meaningful ways.
A Generous Life
One in which you make a habit of taking care of yourself while taking care of others so that you reach your full potential and make the world a better place.
The 7 FUNDAMENTAL Habits:
1. Physical Health
2. Mindfulness
3. Connect with Others
4. Connect with Yourself
5. Gratitude
6. Simplicity
7. Philanthropy
If you take care of your physical health, practice mindfulness, connect with others and yourself, express gratitude, practice simplicity, and give time and money to causes you care about, your life will naturally unfold as a generous life that is good for you and good for others.
YOU
Many of these habits are about taking care of you. Being generous with yourself means eating and exercising regularly, finding time for meditation and/or prayer regularly, and taking other actions that nurture and improve your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
OTHERS
While taking care of yourself is critical, so is taking care of others. One of your deepest human needs is to make a contribution. At the end of your life, you're going to look back and ask, "Did my life matter?" And you can answer that questions with a resounding "Yes!" when you make a positive impact on the world and improve the lives of others.
But in order to do that, you must be generous with others and help improve their physical, emotional, and spiritual conditions. You must be generous with the world and work to solve problems at their roots so that fewer people suffer in the future.
