Health:
Dedication to Extreme Wellness
Humor
Second,
if you're not strong and vibrant and dynamic, by having taken care of
the health of your whole being, body, mind and spirit, there's not a
chance that you can gain or maintain leadership of the pack. The true
Alpha female glows in her extreme wellness.

THE
BIG FOUR
1.
NUTRITION-regular régime.
o
Eat
right for your type
2.
EXERCISE-
regular
exercise, our bodies are our allies.
o
Yoga.
OK, OK, I
know what you're thinking!
I spent many years myself making fun of the mere idea of yoga.
However, by a mere fluke, I
happened
into the gym at the moment that a yoga class was beginning, and they
called it power yoga, and that made it
acceptable.
And I have been taking yoga ever since. It handles two things in
life. It
is great exercise in itself, and it helps you recover from exercise of
other varieties.
There is nothing in the world as restorative as a great class of
yoga, whatever kind you prefer.
o
Pay close attention to our bodies, the way they move. the way
they feel, what they need, what
they are best avoiding
3.
SLEEP-regular,
good, deep sleep.
4.
BATTERY CHARGING- regularly doing
the things that fill us back up with energy and passion for life.
We
need time for rest, time for walks, time for quiet, and time
to tune into ourselves.
We cannot completely fill up our lives with activities and become
intimate with ourselves. And
a wonderful payoff for this is that as we become more intimate with
ourselves, we are capable of discovering our connection with others and
with the divine.

* On the days when we practice the four basics,
we really feel good. Not
good just because we kept our word, but good, because these four basics
are actually great for our beings.
·
HUMOR-
keep
serious passion balanced with humor .
Humor is one of the most important human gifts.
We need to be able to laugh
gently at ourselves and with others.
We need to be able to laugh out raucously
at life and its extenuating circumstances.

ENHANCING
INTIMACY—friends, family, loved ones
·
OVERCOMING ADDICTION/ATTACHMENT… to people, things,
feelings, chemical states.
