As we welcome the New Year, I'd like to take a moment to thank you for following my stories in this section since I began two years ago. As a reward for keeping me company, I would like to share a few of the lessons I've learned from writing about people like you.

First, health is our natural state of being, and it includes mind, body, and spirit. Most of the people I've interviewed who enjoy perfect health, even during their late years, appear to be balanced in these three areas.

They don't just eat well and exercise, they are aware of their emotions, their level of stress and they have found a spiritual guide within themselves that affects how they see the world. There have been some exceptions, but the healthiest and happiest people I've interviewed take time to pray, meditate and enjoy nature. This affects their mood and the way they relate with others.

So as you seek to become healthier this year, take time to dwell within to find that spiritual center in which ever way you choose.

Science agrees that many of our diseases are?psychosomatic, influenced in some way by our emotions, our level of stress, previous traumas and experiences. Unsolved emotional problems continue to affect our decisions until we face them.

Take time in your day to address these areas and re-affirm your self worth.

Body and mind are equally affected by what we feed them. Be mindful of what you give your mind to eat. Just as much as you should pay attention to what you eat. What you give your mind can affect your body as much as what you give your body can affect the mind.?

Eating fruits and vegetables and exercising, nourishes your body. Exposing yourself to inspiring information and invigorating ideas will influence the way you think throughout the day, which will impact your emotions and in turn your words and actions.

Do what you enjoy everyday. Chances are you'll live longer or happier. And happiness is healthy in its own right.?
