Then another facet of this wonderful new period in my life began to unfold when my church started a hiking club. So now I've been on two very fun hikes with them. These hikes have typically been anywhere from 4 to 7 miles in length, not really steep and so beautiful.

What has happened to my physical body because of this is very encouraging. My shape overall is better and my heart feels stronger. But what has happened to my mental and emotional body is even more impressive. I am more joyful? I feel like I did when I was a child playing all day long. Being out inrepparttar fresh air doing something physical, fun and adventurous is most definitely giving me a new sense of vitality. Not to mention a great night's sleep?

While I'm not going to share my exact scores onrepparttar 122754 rest ofrepparttar 122755 test I will say that my highest score was spiritual, followed by emotional, mental and physical in that order. I agree withrepparttar 122756 experts who say we are encouraged to change what we measure. Had I never taken this test I would not have identified this weak area in my life, nor realized that focusing and engaging with it could make my life richer. Laughter and fun = joy and since I've engaged my physical self more I am engaged in life in a way that makes everything I do have more meaning.

Do not letrepparttar busyness and immediate needs of your life prevent you from stopping to create what you want your life to look like at this time next year. Follow these steps to create your compelling vision, and watch it work for you. 1. Get clear about your compelling vision. Write it down on paper; be specific, use visual language. 2. Share it with someone else. Ask them if they can seerepparttar 122753 snapshot. If they cannot, you are being too vague. 3. Read your vision every day and continue to clarify it when new ideas come in. 4. Create a physical image—a drawing, a real photograph, or a collage—that represents your vision. Put that vision where you will see it every day. 5. Create an action plan to realize your vision, and take even some small action every day. 6. Getrepparttar 122754 help you need. You do not have to do it alone. Once you have your vision, ask yourself: Are you more committed to your compelling vision, or are you more committed to your current situation? Our reality interferes with our vision because we see what is not ideal around us—and that is far more vivid than a vision of what we desire that still lies only in our head and heart. That is why it is important to follow these steps and spend time with your vision every day, gradually bringing it more and more into focus and finally into reality.
