The Ladder of Life


Welcome to my Blog. I am an Investment Advisor living and working in Port Alberni, but just as importantly, I am a wife, mother, volunteer, and an active and supportive community member. I believe we can all take charge of our destiny, our future, with the proper mind-set, sense of direction, goals and tenacity to attain what we dream about. Think of your life as a ladder, with the steps numbered one through ten. The top of the steps represents the best possible life we can have, while the bottom is the worst. Where do you feel you personally stand at this point in your life? Where would you like to stand? I believe we all have the power to get to that top step, and I hope that some of the blog posts in the weeks and months to come, will inspire you to get there.

Ten Lifestyle Goals for Healthy Living Part 10 || Port Alberni Investment Advisor

The last goal in this series of Ten Lifestyle Goals for Healthy Living is about our need for spiritual renewal.  This isn’t necessarily about any religious belief, but more about our need to take the time to participate in activities that renew our spirit.  If you’ve ever read any of  Deepak Chopra’s writings, you will know that our spirit is another way of looking at who you are.  Our spirit is what’s inside us and makes us who we are.  Our brains and bodies sometimes get in the way of letting us get in touch with our spirit or inner self.  We are so busy talking, thinking, working, and moving to and fro in our daily lives, that we often don’t stop to renew our spirit.  Reading, praying, meditating and singing are all ways that we can renew our spirit.  We slow our minds down and become more relaxed.  It is then that we can let go of stress and allow our spirits to soar.  In summary the ten lifestyle goals for healthy living are:
1.  Get enough rest every day
2.  Exercise regularly
3.  Eat your fruits and veggies!
4.  Eat whole-grain breads and cereals
5.  Choose healthy fats in your diet
6.  Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
7.  Don't smoke!  Be free of dependence on alcohol & drugs
8.  Maintain a positive attitude and cheerful out look on life
9.  Spend quality time with family and friends
10.Renew your spirit on a daily basis
Make the pledge to yourself that you will take the time to make your personal physical and mental well-being a top priority in your life, and you will enjoy a healthy lifestyle!  There is only one you, and only one life for you to live.  Live it well!
