Other than name and phone number, when someone asks you a question, it’s worth considering why. Intentionally answering the real question is a great place to start.

 Physical Health
 
 Eat Well
 
 The mineral balance our bodies need is a fine balance, not unlike walking a tightrope.  Too much is bad, but so is too little.

 Be Active
 
 Your obliques are very very important.  Not just for your appearance (I mean, who doesn’t want to have a narrow waistline?), but also for you back health and core strength.  Best way to work on them?  Try a few of these moves a couple of times per week.

 Let's move!
 
 This is a workout based on 4 rounds of 7 moves.  Each round will be a slightly more challenging version of the move.  If you are struggling or your form drops, go back to the version of the move from the last round.  Start your music!

 Spiritual Health
 
 Reason #572 to have fresh flowers in your house/office/space: because they are good for your well-being in so many different ways.

 Mental & Emotional Health
 
 How nice are you to the most important person in your life?  And no, that is not your spouse or children.

 Social Health
 
 I know this is actually a paid advertisement, but the underlying message is 100% true.  Humans carve social interactions.  You can use that to your benefit.

 Happy Monday! Hope you're all heading into a nice and easy week. I have one more week of travel (this time for training), then it's back to normal. Which will be good! Today I am sharing with you a link for a longer read, about 5 iconic things that shaped what we know. Sure, knowing why Abraham Lincoln grew a beard isn't going to help us find world peace but ... didn't you ever wonder where that iconic beard idea came from? :)
