Mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually
To be Mentally Strong:
1. Work! Make money!
2. Learn about money. Make sure you know where you stand financially. Learn about retirement plans and investments.
3. Learn about your world. Never stop learning.
To be Physically Strong:
1. Exercise. Do my two routines.
2. eat right
3. Be active. Get an hour (or better yet two) hours of activity every day.
4. sleep. For most people 7-8 hours is optimal. But some do great with 6. Sleep on your back or side. If you are on your back put a pillow under your knees and for your head no pillow or a small pillow or an orthopedic pillow or a roll. If you are on your side put a pillow between your knees and for your head and neck you want a pillow that keeps them in the middle of your body. A firm mattress is best. If you sleep on your side a bit softer.
5. Avoid Trauma! Big traumas and little traumas. Bad postures, sitting for too long without a break, walking on hard surfaces without supportive footwear, bad lifting technique, car accidents, slips and falls all contribute to bad spinal health.
Have good Posture! See your chiropractor!
If you have to sit for long periods, change something every hour! Raise the seat, move the seat back, sit on a pillow, put a pillow behind your back, change the lumbar support, shift your weight, use your legs to support some weight. Sitting is hard on your back, it doubles the pressure on your spine.
To be Socially and Spiritual Healthy:
1. go to church once a week. Find a place you are comfortable. You will get lots of physical benefits too!
2. Value family, honor parents
3. serve. You make a life by what you give.
