|
| bottles of Flintstone chewable vitamins
| |
| | courses on subjects that interest you.
|
| with all the minerals possible. Centrum
| |
| | Local colleges and community
|
| also makes an adult chewable, but I am

| | organizations often have life enriching
|
| told that they don't taste as good as

| bathroom, near where you do your hair,
| |
| | brain and maybe you made a few new and
|
| brush your teeth (I put mine in a glass),
| |
| | interesting relationships. You can
|
| or whatever. Put another one in the
| |
| | attend lectures, local theatrical
|
| console, door pocket, or glove
| |
| | presentations (I just saw my daughter's
|
| compartment of your car. Put the last
| |
| | boyfriend in "A Streetcar Named Desire",
|
| one in your desk at work, in your lunch
| |
| | and it was fun and entertaining), learn a
|
| box, locker...whatever. Sometime during
| |
| | language, or simply work puzzles or read
|
| the day, you, as a responsible adult
| |
| | the books you always wanted to read. NOT
|
| concerned about your health, will surely
| |
| | the ones your high school teacher TOLD
|
| find the ten seconds necessary to open
| |
| | you SHOULD be read, but the ones YOU HAVE
|
| the bottle, pop one in your mouth, and
| |
| | ALWAYS WANTED TO READ.RELAXATION AND
|
| chew it. Take the bottle with you on
| |
| | REST...YOU DESERVE ITYou deserve to rest
|
| trips. If you go on a lot of trips, buy
| |
| | and relax, and you need to do it well for
|
| a fourth bottle and put it in the bag you
| |
| | your health. It's important, so do it
|
| always take with you...toiletries or
| |
| | right. It won't hurt to learn a little
|
| something.ANTIOXIDANTSAntioxidants fight
| |
| | about relaxation...things like meditation
|
| free radicals and in so doing, they help
| |
| | and yoga can help, but there are other
|
| defend you against cancer, cataracts,
| |
| | relaxation techniques as well. You don't
|
| wrinkles, and other really negative
| |
| | have to become an expert. You might be
|
| aspects of aging. I've got some good
| |
| | surprised at how much relaxation you can
|
| news for you. That Flintstones chewable
| |
| | accomplish just learning a little on
|
| vitamin you decided to take contained
| |
| | these subjects.A classic book to read is
|
| several antioxidants, so you're already
| |
| | still Dale Carnegie's "How To Stop
|
| going to do yourself and your body a big
| |
| | Worrying And Start Living". It's a
|
| favor.Here's some more good news!

|
| wine, or have a piece of chocolate. Not
| |
| | Beyond, The Linen Store, or even
|
| all at one time, please. Yes, they ARE
| |
| | Wal-Mart. Get some high thread count
|
| good for you, but sweeten your tea or
| |
| | sheets. You'll be surprised at how good
|
| coffee with stevia or an artificial
| |
| | they feel. Pamper yourself in the
|
| sweetener, and don't go overboard on the
| |
| | evening before bedtime and give yourself
|
| wine or chocolate.EXERCISECan exercise

| really be fun? Well, it CAN be if you
| |
| | some mini-breaks throughout the day.
|
| don't try to start an "exercise program"
| |
| | That's one of the reasons I recommend
|
| while you're out of shape! Just look
| |
| | things like yoga, meditation, and Dale
|
| around for a fun physical activity
