Healthy, Wealthy and Wise
I wonder what it would be like if everyone in the world worked at being healthy, wealthy and wise! I know what it would look like for me.
Healthy: Lose weight slowly and keep it off forever! Stop chewing ice! Work on my posture- ( as I wrote this I noticed I was totally bent over my computer!) Avoid situations that cause mood swings. Get plenty of sleep. (As I reread this I noticed I was bent over my computer!)
Wealthy: Stop behaviors that create debt. Use cash. Think before I spend. Remember that there is PLENTY of money in the world. Help others. Save my money for a rainy day. Never let the government affect my money situation. Read wealth creating books.
Wise: Listen as much as I talk! Admit that I’m human when I’m cruel, mean or petty. Remind myself that ‘it’s an illness!” Lose weight, use cash, stop chewing ice. Say, “I’m sorry” and mean it.
What a great exercise. This comes from the rhyme:
Early to Bed, Early to Rise
Makes a Person Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
I would add that a relentlessly positive attitude helps in all of these areas. I’ve certainly experienced a lot of setbacks in all of them due to this illness. That is really the main challenge. I’d be interested to see your healthy, wealthy and wise list!

Hi Julie
I always enjoy your positive attitude and your honesty. You have made and continue to make a real difference to me. I use to feel so alone with my diagnosis.
I really agree with what you say about getting enough sleep. It makes all the difference in the world to me. I have to accept that I cant do as much as some folks if I want to stay well. For me, staying up after 11 at night is not good. I’m at my best if I get to bed at a reasonable time. Sometimes I have to have a really early night too and that’s OK, although it can then disrupt my rhythmn so I have to be cautious. My temptation can be sitting up late watching films on TV! I’m never glad I did it the next day though!

Listen as much as I talk. Is that possible, is the question that I just asked myself. Hee hee. And I sat up at my desk since I was practically laying atop my keyboard reading. Have a great day. C
